Austrian Flags

I posted these photos of Austrian flags recently on the AMG Forum.

I thought readers of this blog may like to see the variety of flags we have within the Austrian 18th century army. There are a lot more but are the norm.

Another ADC

Over two sittings I made this ADC. Should look quite nice when painted. 
I will spend 5 minutes or so tomorrow with scalpel to tidy the figure up a little.

New Spain/Caribbean Campaign

The other year I started a New Spain/Caribbean campaign. 

I will not bore you with the backstory/research/paperwork but it was quite fun. Like all my campaigns it remains unfinished.

Here are a few photos.

Saxons

One of the most interesting threads on the AMG Forum is the Saxon Army during the 18th century. Yesterday some great artwork/photos were posted. Such posts can reignite my interest and have me thinking of additional units.

AMG Vignette

Based on the wonderful artwork of Adolph Menzel I made the miniatures for the AMG game at Partizan in 2015. My miniatures do not do justice to the artwork but ......

Thirty sets were cast and most were given to the game players. What a great event and I thank all the attendees for their time in making this a great memory.

Over the years most of the remaining sets have been painted.

I have converted another set just recently.

With the exception of the headless masters I have now just a single set left. A vignette of Saxon Leib-Grenadier- Garde might make a fine addition for the last set.
