35mm Danish Grenadierkorps Regiment ca.1710. Figures sculpted and painted by me.

28mm WW2 Aussie Sniper Team

 This is the 28mm Australian sniper team from Eureka Miniatures.
It is a very nice set. 

Just don't let Smiley get you in his cross hairs!

MEDIEVAL SWISS ARMY

Here is my Swiss army. This has been a LONG time in the making. I first made the master figures and the drop cast moulds for the army back in 1983. I cast a lot of figures, painted some and put the rest in a bag where they remained for many years. In the last year or so I have returned to my Swiss and painted all the figures I cast. I have added some Perry heads for variation and used some Foundry minis for standard bearers and a mounted leader. I have also used figures from other manufacturers for the crossbows and handguns. I have four cannons to go with this army. Two of these are painted and two more are almost done. Now why paint the pikes red? In the Funken book on Medieval armies they have the Swiss pikes as red and I thought they looked good, so mine are red.

WW2 AUSTRALIAN COMMANDOS 2

I have finished painting the Australian Commandos. Here they are. Nice figures but I really don't know how they can ever be used in wargame if they play their commando role. Their basic tactic, as one of them put it, was 'Punch and Piss off' which does not make a very interesting game. And yes Owen guns often came out of the factory painted in camouflage colors. I did a minor bit of conversion on the figure with the rifle turning it into an EY grenade firing rifle as by 1945 this was the only type of rifle they tended to use apart from sniper rifles.

WW2 Australian Commando

Just painted the first of the new Warlord Games WW2 Australian Commandos. Here he is. I got these last week. There are ten minis in the pack and I am looking forward to painting them.

BIG INDIAN GUNS

I have had the Elephant for 20+ years - he is finally painted. The big guns are more recent. These guns will see service with my Sikh army for the present and in the future serve with the Mahratta and Mughal armies.
Elephant is Foundry and the guns and crews are Indus Miniatures. 

1836 MEXICAN ARTILLERY

 

Viva Santa Anna! Just finished these Mexican artillery guns for the 1836 Texas campaign, also any other service El Presidente deems it necessary for them to undertake. The guns are old ones I had in the spares box, the gunners are from Orinoco Miniatures. 

Plastic Mongols

I bought some of the Fire Forge plastic Mongols to see what they were like. They are very nice. Here are a couple of them with the Gripping Beast Saga Moorish Warlord.

Gripping Beast Arabs

Painted some Gripping Beast plastic medieval Arabs. Very nice figures, well detailed, easy to assemble and paint.

35mm Wargame Figures

The latest additions to my 35mm collection. Austrian Infantry Regiment Hoffmann and the first two completed cavalry squadrons.

35mm C18th Cavalry Regiments

I finished the first two of my homemade 35mm cavalry regiments today. I plan to do several more of these in the next few weeks.

35mm Regiment

The latest 35mm Regiment - this one is my own Regiment painted in a uniform of my own creation with a flag of my own design. Brave lads all!

35mm C18th Master Figures

Here are two 35mm early C18th master figures which I have just finished. One is a cavalry officer to join the cavalrymen I have already made, the other is a General or Marshal. I decided to make the General a prosperous portly well to do gentleman. These have not been put into a mould yet, but that will happen soon. 

Early C18th 35mm Cavalry

Here are two of my homemade 35mm early C18th Cavalry minis. A friend wanted a cavalry regiment of his own and gave me the colors and the flag for his regiment, so I painted these two minis as the first two of his regiment. I still have to make and cavalry officer and a trumpeter but these two will give you an idea what the finished group (18 figures) will look like. 

35mm Early C18th Prussian Brigade

Here is the first of the homemade 35mm early C18th Brigades I have completed. It is a Prussian Brigade with a Prussian General, the Prussian Regiments Varenne and Doenhoff and the Hesse-Kassel Regiment Erbprinz. The mass photo is the 35mm muster I have cast and painted up to date.

 

Just added some Austrian artillery which I finished today.

Latest 35mm early C18th Infantry Regiments

Two of the latest of the 35mm Infantry Regiments for my homemade early C18th Century army. A British regiment and the Prussian regiment Otto Magnus Graf Doenhoff.
