Hobby in general - A church from "Chicken´sTabletopCrafting"

Manufacturer:   Chicken´sTabletopCrafting

Scale:   28mm

Hi,

today´s post is about the marvellous church I got fron Thomas Hahn aka "Chicken´sTabletopCrafting".

This church was an order I gave to Thomas as I already got some of his wonderful buildings made from styrofoam. It fits perfect to the other buildings and my thoughts are to use it especially for my project of the "Tyrolean Rebellion" I want to play using the ruleset of "Muskets&Tomahawks" and its supplement "Shakos&Bayonets"

I always like the style of Thomas´ building very much and this church surely won´t be the last one to become part of my collection. 

If you are interested in how Thomas made this little piece of art just follow the link to his YouTube-Channel. This video is a tutorial about the church this post is about.

And of course here are some pictures of how this building was integrated into my collection.

I hope you like it. :)

Cheers

Mike

Reinforcements for my Tyrolean Rebellion project - The Austrians are coming

Manufacturer:   FrontRank

Scale:   28mm

Hi,

got my first Austrian units finished with varnishing and basing. Two units of 12 men each, so they could also be parted and used as three units of eight men.

I like the bulky style of FrontRank and in my opinion they do fit to the more filigrane style of Victrix and PianoWargames aswell.

The figures had been painted for me by Krisztian and he did a very good job on them.

The only thing I had to do was to give the figures a varnish and a decorated base.

Muskets&Tomahawks - Supplement "Shakos&Bayonets" - Tyrolean Rebellion

Manufacturers:   PianoWargames, Victrix, Chicken´sTabletopCrafting    

Scale:   28mm

Hi,

it is still a long way to get my forces ready for my Tyrolean Rebellion project that we would like to game after the ruleset of "Muskets&Tomahawks" using the supplement "Shakos&Bayonets".

There are some more figures on the workbench that have to be varnished and also the basing needs some more "tuning" with tufts and things like that.

And of course - some more figures still have to be painted, especially more Tyroleans.

Until then the already finished figures will be kept in a small diorama within my IKEA-Billy-shelf for some motivation to keep on the project.

The figures on the pictures are from different manufacturers. The Bavarians are Victrix while the Tyroleans are from PianoWargames. The two buildings are from "Chicken´sTabletopCrafting".

If you like to get further information about the Tyrolean Rebellion and also about Andreas Hofer, who led the Rebellion, just have a look at the following links to a very good docu on YouTube. Unfortunately it is only in German.

The second link shows the storming of Innsbruck taken from the movie "Andreas Hofer".

If you like to have a look at the complete movie (also only in German) follow the next link.

But I also found a shorter documentation concerning the Tyrolean Rebellion in English:

This rebellion is not very well known but in my opinion it would be very nice to play some games dealing with this topic.

Cheers

Hello, dear followers of my blog !

Last week I had been looking for some terrain pieces for my wargaming collection, especially for our project on the Tyrolean Rebellion where I will need some more rocks to represent the area of the alps. My comrads and me plan to play several games of the supplement of "Muskets&Tomahawks" called "Shakos&Bayonets".

A good opportunity to find excellent rocks is to look at some shops offering aquaristic accesories. And I found some very good suitable pieces for good prices. Some of them are still on their way but the one I ordered from Amazon has already been delivered.

After having opened the parcel it was clear that I will have to check the size of the rock compared to my figures. And so the next hour was used to arrange a little landscape with rocks, paths, trees, fields and a building. It has been real fun and a perfect balance to my working day. As always.

Just a well-intentioned advice: if you ever had a hard day, try to compensate it by just arranging your figures mixed with some terrain. It works. You surely will feel better. :)

Cheers

Forward boys !

The figures representing the Bavarians are Victrix.

The Tyrolean "village". I need more of these houses from Chicken´sTabletopCrafting.

Seems to be a very long way.
