Toy Soldiers in 1:30 - some more JohnJenikins Woodland Indians

Manufacturer:   JohnJenkinsDesign

Scale:   28mm


Hi again,

This week I got some more WoodlandIndians for my collection of 1:30 ToySoldiers of the FrenchIndianWar that I just had to set into scene for a small photo-shooting. :)

The moduls of terrain and also the trees are normally used for 28mm wargaming so it could be they appear a little bit too small. But in my opinion it has done its work.

There are a new canoe and also three new fierce warriors. Due to the fact that I only have three British soldiers in fighting poses the scene shows a real masacre. Poor Redcoats.

More to come about this project. :)


Cheers

Mike

Seven Years War - my actual French Army

Manufacturer:   FrontRank and Crusader

Scale:   28mm


Hi,

this post is about my actual French Army of the SevenYearsWar. It consists of 9 units infantry (one unit has to be increased from 16 to 20 men - next on my personal to-do-list), one unit of dragoons and two pieces of artillery.

Unfortunately they never have been on the wargaming table so far. I hope that a friend of mine, collecting Prussians is in the mood for gaming SYW soon :)

To be honest I only painted the two artilleries and three units of infantry by myself (2x LaSarre, 1x Rouergue). The other units all had been painted by a friend from Hungary. I love his way of painting and I always have troubles with painting large units. I like to paint up single figures but large units are a personal horror. The thing I did was the basing.

My aim is to have at least 12 units of infantry, 2 units of light infantry, 6 units of cavalry and 6 pieces of artillery. So there is a long way to go, but I want to have this army in a equal number to my Austrians.

Here are some pictures of my French Army.


Cheers

Mike

Some Civilians suitable for SYW, FIW or AWI

Manufacturer:   FrontRank

Scale:   28mm


Hi again,

today´s post is about three civilians suitable für SevenYearsWar, FrenchIndianWar and AmericanWar of Independence.

I have painted them about a year ago and I didn´t do that at home, so they are not surrounded by any terrain.


Cheers 

Mike
