The Polish Pulks

The painted Pulks arrived some weeks ago. Wonderfully painted by DJ.

These will be the eyes of Poland during the early stages of the campaign.

Land Peasants

I realised I needed more civilians .... suitable for the eastern theatre. 

Since finishing the game in the last post I converted six figures and quickly painted. The plan is to make more over the months to come.

More Photos of the Troops on the Table

Whilst I work on a mini-project I thought I would share more photos of this weekends campaign game.

A good friend in Germany recently sent me 10 pen and inks to accompany my campaign papers. They are head/shoulder characters which will grace the battle reports.

Carts and Wagons painted

Painted the three mentioned in the last post plus I changed an existing wagon by adding a horse.

My method of painting carts and wagons is very simple. Oils and dry brushing, not the greatest technique but it does at least give a weathered look. Horses....Oils.

On the Paint Desk

It is well over a decade ago that I commissioned fourteen various handmade/converted carts and wagons.

I painted most of them as seen in the first photograph.

Anyway, this morning I have made a start on three more. However, one of them which is all wood, plastic and brass rod is such an incredible handmade model I cannot spoil with paint.

More Photos.

To save time I have placed the figures on the table for the campaign game to be played in 8 days time.
