For some reason blogger hasnt been allowing me to post. I am sure its Cameron's fault.

Above are some Russian Generals who are leaving for the states soon.

This is a Perry lancer for moi.

I am not commenting on the AV referendum (I cant believe people are rejecting a chance of democracy) or the six nations as I can jsut about handle losing to England, but England playing attractive rugby? Please! What next? Common sense from politicians?

Wales were their usual mixture of sublime, surreal and silly. No wonder I have grey hair.

Just gone back to using Foundry flesh - I hate to say it but better than vallejo

These can be used as skirmsihers as are based on triangles if you look carefully

I know Russian officers were meant to wear green but you ever seen BBC's War and Peace?

I think I did a good job on these two.

I've been asked a few times for pictures of my completed Prussians ( well, Landwehr cavalry and grenadier battalion to come......)
Here they are: all Foundry and Calpe with some Perry's in there as I liked the figures.

They are on my new terrain layout purchased from pseudo Welshman Gareth Lane.

Now you cannuicks and Frogs have no excuse not to come over for a game.

For the record the infantry comprises of:

One line regiment - 3 battalions and Jaegar

One reserve regiment - 3 battalions

One Landwehr regiment - 4 battalions and volunteer Jaegar

Cavalry comprises of:
One cuirassier regiment
One dragoon regiment
One hussar regiments
One Silesian Uhlan regiment

Artillery comprises of:
One foot battery - 2 x 12lbs
One horse battyer - 2 x 6lbs and howitzer

There are also:

Brigade command stand
Blucher p*ssed out of his mind plus minders
Artillery command
Two senior commands
Light cavalry brigade command
Heavy cavalry brigade command.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Happy new year

Not a bad year then really.

I've got plans to finish my Russians, do a couple of commissions and add to my French with Perrys. Also should have completed the purchase of my allied 1815 army to start painting the end of 2011.

Hope to get some pictures of the completed Prussian army and my new terrain layout soon.

Also you will see my new painting website soon and I am hyoping to take more commission work on as I am getting fed up with this marketing malarkey. Too much stress and not enough drinking time.
