A Vignette from AMG

Hidden away on the top shelf of one my hobby room cabinets was this Austrian vignette. It is always a nice surprise to find something you had forgotten about. I have now moved the piece to another shelf more visible. 

My cabinets go to the ceiling so figures at the back of the top shelves can be hidden from view..... as this piece was.

Other new additions in the PWH box

Whilst finishing/milliputing the last of the PWH I twiddled with other creations.

Firstly, an Austrian dispatch rider. And a few extras for the Austrian infantry.

Secondly, some Prussian musicians from various regiments.

Lastly, a Russian General.

All painted by David. I based them yesterday.

Freikorps von Kleist

Never had much interest in adding Freikorps von Kleist to my collection of Prussians.

It was the artwork of Knotel that got me thinking!

I made a two piece and have had it painted. Also I have sculpted a Croat infantryman which will be included in the next mould. 

I do not plan to have all elements of the Freikorps.

Polish Winged Hussar.....Teaser

The PWH arrived this morning..... they are absolutely magnificent.

David has done a marvellous paintjob, coupled with the hand painted flags by Mark.

This project spanned many years and one that looked like it would never be completed. The amount of milliputing and soldering was beyond the call of duty.

There are 30+ completely unique PWH, all are different.

I attach a couple of photographs of just three figures.

Not sure when they will be based. Hopefully, before Spring.

Thanks to All who have made this project come to life.

Update

The painted Polish Winged Hussars are due to arrive on Wednesday. I have seen photographs and they truly look amazing. In addition there are a number of painted SYW 'specials'.

I have completed all the sculpts for the next mould. Some quite unique miniatures.

My Schloss has been made and is in the process of being painted. 

The game ' Hold the Two bridges' is still in progress. Like all my table settings they can take sometime to complete as they are often a sideshow to other hobby related projects. I attach a few photos....

More photos from the Game

The game is still in the balance. 

On the workbench I have made a von Kleist Croat marching and a head for the von Kleist horse grenadiers.

DJ has made good progress painting the Polish Winged Hussars. Plenty of photos on the AMG Forum.

Hoping to receive the PWH and numerous other vignette pieces in a couple of weeks.
