Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

King Williams War in Ireland: Danish Garden til Fods (Foot Guards)

 Getting close, this is my third battalion done of four I am going for. After that I will paint four cavalry units. I think I may make my deadline.

So far no burnout and still having fun with this period. Some Star Wars Storm Troopers, and Tuetonic Knight foot soldiers almost caught my eye and diverted me, but I am staying strong!

This installment is the Danish Foot guards that had straw colored coats. Man, straw can be so many colors! I ended up going with Vallejo Desert Yellow, followed up by Yellow Ochre. I like how it came out.

Next up the Danish Funen battalion.




As always thanks for looking.

Cheers

King Williams War in Ireland: Francois du puy du Cambon Regiment

 I've completed the second regiment of Huguenots. Now that puts me at half way to being half way done!

Moving on to the Danish Regiments now, and then over to the four regiments of Cavalry for King James!




As always thanks for looking.

Cheers

King Williams War in Ireland: Pierre Massue, Le Marquis de Caillemotte Regiment

 Three Regiments were part of King Williams army in Ireland. Here is one of those that I have painted up for a scenario I am going to try to do at a local convention at the end of September. I almost have the second one done, which gives me two more to do. Then I have to paint several troops of horse for opposing forces. Time is short, but I think I can get there.



As always thanks for looking,

Cheers

King Williams War in Ireland: King James "The Earl of Clanrickard's Regiment"

 After talking with Clarence about this Regiment, I decided to go ahead with my own take of how the Clanrickard Regiment would look. Not having ordered the Civilian packs, I did my best to mix up the colors, though staying on theme of red coats with Yellow cuffs etc. 

Now I have a force for both sides to do a small Donnybrook fight. But my main goal is to do one of the 4play scenarios. So I still need to paint four Regiments of Foot, and four of Cavalry for opposing forces. 

Having fun painting these lads so far.








As always thanks for looking.
