As Promissed!

Hi Folks!

As I promised, here are some pictures of new figures. For starters I have painted up some HäT Napoleonic Bavarians in 28mm scale. I was inspired by mister Mac Phee's work  here's how this turned out.

The green coats are from the 2nd Light Infantry Regiment. The others a more general Line Regiment.






Below are two pictures of the start of my British Colonial Army for use with the new Black Powder rules. At the moment I have two regular British Infantry regiments and two Indian Army Regiments. A Gatling gun and Gardner gun complement the lot. In the works are a large Highlander unit (the Gordons) Royal Navy troops, mounted Infantry, Camelry and more artillery pieces.

Hope you like them,

Cheers Sander

Eddie 15!

Hoi everybody!

Last Saturday I received a shipment of sets from the latest HäT releases. These batches of releases are called Eddie and then their release number in this case 15. See www.hat.com From this particular lot, I got the Australian Light Horse a much awaited set around the world and nicely done. Some WW1 Heavy weapons sets, some Austrian Napoleonic Artillery and several El Cid sets the latter I am specially looking forward to painting because they will be something different altogether.

No pictures at the moment but watch this space because I will post some soon!

Cheers Sander

Crisis 2009

Hoi People!

Last Saturday a Friend (Mark) and yours truly went to Crisis 2009 in Antwerp. After last years experience I just had to go again.

This link shows you a Picture report of some of the games on display.

As I had a somewhat bigger budget now I was able to get lots of goodies:

- Several boxes of 1:72 Plastics
- Metal SHQ Portuguese
- A Freebooter limited edition figure of a lovely flamingo dancer
- Some Battletech source-books
- A Limited edition figure set from Warlord Games featuring Macro and Cato the main characters from the Simon Scarrow novels about the Roman 2nd Legion.
- Some Resin terrain features

We had a great time thanks to the excellent work done by the Organisers!

Cheers Sander

I'm back!

Hoi Everyone!

For some time I have been absent from the blog but now I am back. I got married and bought a new house so you'll understand I had to use my time differently from the usual painting but now I have had some time to paint and here are the first results of that.

Below are pictures of my French Hussar Conversions, I still need to give them a coat of varnish and some grass flock:






Below you can see the new Zvezda French Lancers painted as the Chevaux Legere Lanciers de Berg




Hope you like them!

Picture Update part 1!

 Hoi,

As promised more pictures of stuff awaiting your approval!

This figure is the Prince of Orange (about 1815) from the new Waterloo1815 mounted officers set.



From the same set is this Dutch Line Infantry officer.



These two Royal Horse guards are actually some of my oldest figures in the collection. I originally painted them up when I was 15 or so and have now re-done them to look somewhat better.




Then something different! This figure is a Privateer Press 'Bodger' for Warmachine. I quite liked to put the base together of all kinds of scraps, odds and bits lying around.

A very characterfull figure if I may say so myself.

Cheers Sander

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)

Watch out for more pics here!

Cheers Sander
