Its been a long time...

but life gets in the way with more important things (work, fishing, two graduations, kids, wife, DIY projects, etc). I have been painting, just not posting. I finished my table as you will see below. Here is the completed table with a game of Shako II about to start. French forces face a combined Austrian/Russian force. I will post a report if my son and I get to it.

I will post some pics later of the 28mm Saxons I have been working on for Dux Bellorum, Tactica and WAB. I have also done some 15mm HYW for Field of Glory and DBA. And have started to dabble in 6mm WW II forces.

Here is the table with the French on the left and the coalition forces on the right.

Here are the Russian forces on the left flank on their way to occupy the village.

Update on some past and current work

120mm Lancer from Verlinden Productions I did a few years ago

75mm Roman Eagle Bearer

28mm Ogre just for a change of pace!

15mm Russian  Hussars,  Austrian Grenzers in the foreground

15mm Russian Lancers

15mm French Line Infantry which completes my 22 Battalions

6 Squadrons of French Chasseurs a Cheval

15mm Russian Artillery

A few more Austrian Commanders

On the Work Bench

Currently working on some Old Glory Vikings to add to my viking army. After these I have somewhere along the lines of 50 more before I start some Gripping Beast Saxons I picked up at Cold Wars to oppose them.

Here's a Bavarian church church JR Miniatures. I put it on a base and built a stone wall around it. Next prime, paint and flock.

Also some Battle Honors Artilley (12 lb French) a limber and some Essex wagons for the farm I previously built.

I'll keep updating the blog as I get more done on these projects.

AB Austrian Infantry and Command, Essex Battery

More Austrains by AB. Two battalions and Army Command, Archduke Charles. Guns by Essex.

AB Austrians

Probably my favorite 15mm figure line. These are the first AB Austrians I have done. In the background you can see some Austrian Minifigs I have to re-base. (See earlier post about re-basing)

Re-based Minifigs

Here are some French Light Infantry that I re-based. I took them off their original basing (Empire IV) and repainted them. I still have to finish off the bases. These were originally painted in 1985 when I was stationed in Germany. The plan is to re-base my entire collection I did back then and fill in the gaps with Old Glory and AB miniatures.
