Muskets & Tomahawks - Tyrolean Rebellion

Manufacturer:  PianoWargames

Scale:  28mm

Hi,

today´s post is about my newly started project - the Tyrolean Rebellion against Bavaria.

This rebellion happened during the NapoleonicWars in the year 1809.  For further information have a look at this wikipedia-page:  Tyrolean Rebellion

We want to play this period with the supplement rules of Muskets&Tomahawks  "Shakos & Bayonets". We are sure that this will be great with all the Bavarians, Austrians, Tyroleans and also some French placed in the Alps. 

The figures are done by the German manufacturer PianoWargames, This guy is selling his figures both as stl-files and also in metal. We joined the stl-files and the result of the figures is really great. They also are nicely to paint.

The shown figures are some test figures just to look how they will come out especially with their typical leather pants. The pater shown is one of the leaders of the rebellion called Joachim Haspinger. Hope you like it. :)  Looking forward for more to come.

Cheers

Mike

SevenYearsWar - Regiment Rouergue completed

Manufacturer:   FrontRank

Scale:   28mm

Hi,

one of my aims is to finish some of my begun projects and to reduce my pile of shame. So this post is about a unit of the French SYW Regiment Rouergue. I started painting this unit more than 10 years ago having the unit of 16 men strength. At this time I wanted to play the rules of "Maurice" of Sam Mustafa. In the rules the infantry units had been 16 men strong.

A few years ago I decided to increase my regiments from 16 to 20 men to give them a more symetric look having the banners in the middle of the five bases.

All my newer units had been put to this strength but I didn´t complete the older ones. 

Last week I spent my time on painting the missing four miniatures for this unit and here is the result. :)

FrenchIndianWar - new recruits for my collection of JohnJenkins miniatures

Manufacturer:   JohnJenkinsDesign

Scale:   1:30, 60mm

Hi again,

today´s post is about my new recruits for my collection of JohnJenkins miniatures. 

This time I was glad to find some figures of the range about the "Raid on St.Francis" and also two sets of the range of the "Battle on snowshoes". Concerning the "Battle on snowshoes" there are only 5 or 6 sets left to complete this range. But these are rather hard to find, but my search for them will go on.

As there are still some figures missing I just arranged the scene on a white board with some stones and small trees. This is not the final status quo. This will be done after the last set is added to my collection as I can´t plan a showcase without possessing all of the figures. At the moment I store them in a IKEA Billy shelf and there´s already almost no space left. Maybe I will split the scene so it is departed into a French and also into a British section of the scene. i don´t know about it right now.

Collecting ToySoldiers in 1:30 has become a real kind of addiction for me, but my normal wargaming collection will also grow as I am finding reassurance in painting up my pile of shame consisting of unpainted figures for SYW, FIW, WildWest, Crusaders and so on... :)

Cheers

Mike
