Holiday Update Part II
Hoi,
While I am still hard at work doing chores in and around the house, I have found some time to finish the HäT ANZAC heavy weapons teams and am in the process of finishing the HäT ANZAC artillery as well.
Here are some pictures of the heavy weapons. For both sets I mixed crew from the artillery and heavies sets to create more diversity and threw in some Emhar officers as well. A lot of these chaps have head-swaps with the brilliant extra head-options provided in the HäT artillery set. I specially like the tropical sun-helmet.
Watch this space for pictures of the artillery sets.
Cheers Sander

Holiday update Part I
Hoi,
As I said in a post earlier this week; painting time is sparse over here. I just about managed to get two little projects finished by now.
First up is this Prussian Napoleonic Command stand featuring Marshal Blücher and ADC. The marshal and the horses have been ready sitting in my glass cabinet for ages, I just had no suitable ADC. At first I decided to convert a HäT early war Hussar into a late Hussar by means of a head swap, this turned out to be a fluke because the head was too big. A bit later on I decided to discard my plans to start a late war Russian army and use the models I had lying around as Prussians instead, so I used this Russian Hussar to paint a Prussian hussar with little pennant to act as ADC, now what I should have dry-fitted was the horse... because the Zvezda hussar is far too large for this HaT pony...let that be a lesson to everyone everywhere to always dry-fit before starting a project!
Next up: inspired by HäT's imminent release of 7YW Prussians I decided to finally try to finish my Revell Austrians. These chaps have been in my ownership for ages, nigh on 12 years I guess, and I always intended to convert them into Brits ever since I got my hands on the Black Powder ruleset. Now that HäT is doing Prussians with mitre caps and all, it's far easier to make Brits out of those and paint the Revell chaps up as they were intended: as Austrians. Here is a combined Grenadier battalion, which I can use as seen here or break up and place back to their parent unit when required.
Last up are some of the latest HäT release of E19 sets: 8243 WWI British Q45 Howitzer and 8256 WWI British Artillery Crew. I combined spare heads from these sets with some of the ANZAC heavy weapons team to create more diversity. Below you'll find some WIP shots of both my Arty stands and the heavies.

Picture Update, part 2!
Hoi Everybody!
As I have been saying for some time; painting time is very limited over here but I have managed to photograph some figures that have been standing here ready for some time in order to showcase them here.
First some WW1 Shots.
HäT ANZAC stretcher bearers:
HäT Turkish HMG with head-swap.
Another ANZAC stretcher bearer shot
HäT Turkish Gunner with headswap
More Turkish head-swaps, a bomber (left) and gunner (right)
Cheers Sander

Australian Light Horse
Hoi!
A few months ago (way back in the days of ample free-time) I re-painted my Australian Light Horse testshots from HäT. At first I had them painted in a sandy-khaki colour but after watching the movies "Gallipoli" and more importantly "Light Horsemen" I have re-done them in the more appropriate greenish-khaki. I also understand the bayonet charging pose better now, cheers Young Stan and all you ANZACS over there Down Under!
Well here are my renewed and based ALH.
Mounted poses.
Dismounted poses, there's also a horse-holder but since I have only one spare horse I am waiting to finish this one.
Some brilliant sites for reference:
