28mm and 6mm painting

Hi all!

Well it has been a busy weekend with a few trips into town to see some entertainment.  I was able to get some painting done this weekend.

First is the 28mm Hinterland miniature.

I love how they look and it painted up really well.
I was painting the single figure to work on painting face. I think she came out OK.

Next up was an Union Army command stand for my growing 6mm ACW Union Army.

I hope you all have a good weekend.

Hunting in Stockholm....

Hi all,

Today me and my Fiance went to central Stockholm for a safari! Yes we were in search of the Jarv, or Wolverine.

We spend a good part of the day at Skansen in both the zoo and in the Christmas Market. It was a great day.

Now I will do some painting tomorrow.

Have a great weekend.

Three Brigades of Union Infantry

Hi everyone!
I hope all is well in your part of the world.

This week I was successful in completing these Three Brigades of Infantry in 6mm.

I added a special flag to one of the Brigades, instead of the standard Regimental flag I added a flag that is dear to my heart. It is from the state that I call home in the U.S.A. can you see it and if so what state does it belong to?

Have a great week!

Re basing 6mm Union Miniatures of Altar of Freedom

Hi everyone,

Well these 6mm Baccus Union Miniatures were painted a few years ago but I based them for the Baccus Civil War rules, which I did not like much but at the time they were all that was out there. Now I have read through Altar of Freedom, which I think is a very good set of rules for fighting large battle from the US Civil War.

 

So what do I have?

I have 4 batteries of Artillery, 1 Brigade of Infantry and a Brigade of Cavalry. Yes in these rules a Brigade is the maneuver element and the players take the role of the Corps and Army Commanders.

I am hoping to finish up enough figures to fight Bull Run before Midsummer here in Sweden. We will see if I can get everything painted up in time. Then I will use these rules with the Columbia Games Board Game, Bobby Lee, to do a Civil War Campaign.

Lets see how this goes.

Enjoy the pictures!

My gift from my Secret Santa has arrived

Thank you to my Secret Santa, now It will go under the tree once I get that set up!!!

Have a great Christmas.

Finishing up the US Battleship Division Nine of the Atlantic Fleet from WWI

Hi everyone.

I am surprised I was able to paint with the news of yesterdays attack in Paris. I think it was the only thing that I could do to take my mind off the events of yesterday.

So I have finished up three more GHQ Ships for the WWI Period of Naval History.

The ships are:

USS Delaware

USS Florida

USS Wyoming

The three new ships

These new additions along with the USS New York, which I painted last year will make up the historic Battleship Division Nine of the US Atlantic Fleet.  This squadron was sent to assist the British in late 1917.  The four ships served with the Royal Navy as the Sixth Battle Squadron of the British Royal Navy.

The Complete Battleship Division ready for action

I hope you can take some time and look on line to get more details on each of the ships if you are interested.

These ships should be making an appearance at gaming convention in the near future. Details are to follow.

Be safe and try to have a safe weekend!

Happy Veterans Day / Reembrace Day!!

Thank you to all of you who have served your nation!
