Hi again,
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Just a short post of my newest painted figure. Another guy 3d-printed from the wonderful range of PianoWargames - another Tyrolean Rebel from 1809. More to come soon.
Hope you like it. :)
Cheers

Hi,
Merry Christmas to everyone and a lot of health, luck and enough time for our hobby.
Yesterday my personal Christmas gift has arrived. I found these two sets on ebay and I think they are hard to find here in Germany. So it was a must have. :)
Now my artillery has increased to at least two pieces of artillery (one british and one french) and at least six british gunners.
The figures belong to the series of "Battle on the Monongahela 1755" and in my opinion they do look great.
This battle was a desaster for the British Army.
Major-General Edward Braddock and his force of about 2.200 men had been on an expedition against Fort Duquesne and got ambushed on their way by a French and Indian force consisting of about 250 French soldiers and about 630 Indian warriors.
On the British side, from the 1.373 NCOs and men who took part to the engagement, only 459 came off unharmed. of 96 officers, 73 were killed or disabled. The wounded men left on the field were killed.
Here is a link to the pages of kronoskaf.com. It deals with the battle and tells that there had been also a detachment of 20 men of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. So - with my six men I am quite near to the original strength of this unit. :)

Enjoy your Christmas holidays.

Hi again,
about two weeks ago I posted a Tyrolean Rebel, that I printed 3D instead of 28mm in 60mm.
Here is his counterpart - a Bavarian Light Infantryman of Regiment No4 - Theobald.
It was fun but also hard to paint a figure in this scale. I don´t have the experience in painting this scale and so it was much harder for me than painting a 28mm miniature.
But the result is rather good and I will surely scale up some more figures of the beautiful range of PianoWargames. (https://pianowargames.de/de)
So maybe some more figures in this scale to come soon. But before that I will have to work on my other projects in 28mm like DeadMansHand, The Tyrolean Rebellion, Muskets and Tomahawks (AWI), my SYW Russian Army and so on ...
The best in our hobby is that you always can decide to paint what you want. It is not business where you have to fulfill deadlines. That´s really fine and I enjoy this very much.
Cheers
Mike
