2026 Looks Promising

From a hobby point of view the start of 2026 looks good.

I expect in the three months to March to have :

1. My newly commission Schloss. This will look amazing on the table.

2. The Polish Winged Hussars painted by DJ. These will be the centrepiece of the collection.

3. In addition I am working on figures for a new mould which when cast will add some interesting units to the collection. Five figures are already finished.

Happy New Year to all followers of the AMG Blog and thank you for visiting.

Merry Xmas

Not much to report on the hobby front.

I have a few hobby books wrapped ready to open on Xmas morning. One in particular I am keen to see....  Kesselsdorf.

On the workbench are a few items for a possible new mould in the New Year. I am considering adding some Pancerni to bolster the Polish Winged Hussars that should be painted by the end of March next year....we will see.

Played a few small SYW games which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I attach a few random photographs.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all Blog readers and AMG Forum members.

Made this Cossack mounted officer a few days ago.

Figures Painted

The two Milliput figures shown in the last post are now painted. 

They have joined Prussian Frei-Battalion Mayr.

Update

Following the conclusion of Mollwitz, which was thoroughly enjoyable, I have been playing a mini-campaign. The first two games have been minor skirmishes and each fought on a 6 x 3 foot table.

In between throwing dice I have been using the soldering iron and milliput to make a Prussian foot officer and NCO. At some point in the weeks leading up to Xmas I will paint them....not sure which regiment as I believe all my units have a full compliment. So it might be they join a Frei-infantry battalion.

Mollwitz Finished

This morning the Mollwitz saga ended.

I still have to take the final move photos. 

Over 150 miniatures were removed as casualties and that did not include those than ran during the contest.

Very enjoyable.
