And they are done!

 Hi again!

 

This weekend I was able to finish up the 28mm Perrry Russian Hussars that I started a while ago. I think they turned our realy well.  I have already started to get other minis ready to prim and paint up but first I will paint some ressen barrals that I recently got. They will be for a wagon that is in the mail so I can do a few escort type missions with the wagon. An empty wagon is boring so I will fill it with barrels of beer, wine, and snaps. 

 

 

 

Well I hope you have a good weekend. This will be a short post as I wanted to let you know that I am done with these beautiful miniatures. After the baraels I have more Russian infantry and some Swedish Infantry and cavlary to get done.

 

 

Take care and have a good week.

Hi again,

So I just wanted to show you what is on the painting table. I actually have a semi dedicated painting area to paint and do hobby stuff. It makes it much easier to just sit down and do some painting.

 

So I have been starting to paint more 28mm miniatures since the Perry Brothers have expanded there selection of Swedish miniatures for the 1808-1809 Swedish Russian War. I have been incotact with the Perry Brothers to see if they will continue to make other Swedish miniatues for the rages since there are a lot of other units and uniforms worn during this periods. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will make more.

 

So what am I painting. Well it is 28mm Perry Russian Hussars. They are coming along very well, I think. They are to represent the Grodno Hussars. I have to get one more pack to get a total of 8 Hussars as per the Sharps Practace rules, but I have other rules that I can use these for straight away. I also have more Russinas from the Perry Brothers on the way, some Jagars and Infantry. I have all the Russians I think I will need for awhile. I just might need to add some artillery to the mix eventually.

 

Well keep safe and thank you for sticking around to see my minis.

From Bad to Worst to Better? What will 2021 bring us?

 

So, it has been a long time since I have updated my blog. I have not stopped painting and or wargaming but with COVID-19 I have not been to the club in Stockholm since August 2019. I have done some solo gaming, but I have done some painting but nothing focused.

My wives battle with Cancer is almost over. She has been thought just about every possible treatment including surgery. I have been blessed with a job that has no issue with me going with my wife to her medical appointment. But when COVID started to get bad here in Sweden I could no longer go into my wife’s treatments since they wanted to reduce the number of people in the Hospitals. But though all the treatment my wife has received her last Chemo treatment and is not starting to recover. We are praying for a much better 2021.

Today I was able to do some miniature wargaming via Discord in the Virtual Lard day number 4. I played in two games today. Both were Sharp Practice games set in the US Civil War. It was fun and the social aspect was also there. It felt good to roll some dice and play a game with people from different parts of the world. So, I have been inspired to start to write on my blog.

 

Gaming today!

 

I will try to most more than in the past and I will also update you on how things are going with gaming and my painting.

 

I also want to say thank you to all of you that have written messages and continued to view my blog of this difficult time.

Take care and keep playing games!
