A little comparison

Hi again!

Pascal raised the question what scale my Prince August Native Americans are. The answer is 40mm, which means they doesn't fit anything modern. I made a little comparison photo. I took Beorn from the Mithril-range, quite big for Mithril, an orc from Prince August's fantasy armies (28mm I think), my strange hobbit from the boardgame The Hobbit, and a celtic wizard from Hat (1/72).

A Great Disorder or Deep In The Heart of Texas

Finished my little chaotic dio from Texas! Pascal suggested it was a great disorder and that's a very good description! :-D I know that Davy shouldn't be there, but what the heck (bottleneck)!

And this guy? He will probably move to Suso-Frick Junction! :-D

Finished! Well, almost ...

Finished the cavalry at last! Now it's just small parts to do, remove bases, paint hoves (?), boots, etc, etc. And the base of course. :-D

Pics:

And the Texans on the base! It looks small, but I want it crowded! :-D

Going along quite nicely, but ...

First, Welcome 1/72 Miniatures (or Benno I presume ;-) ). When I first collected information I read that all Mexican cavalry had blue shabraques with golden lining. So I painted them like that. Now I read in another book that the regular cavalry had GREEN shabraques with WHITE lining! Sigh! Repaint (but I left the light cavalry horses as they were). But other than that it's actually going well. Soon must find a base. I want it to be crowded so it will be a pretty small base. And I haven't decided yet if I shall put some Mexican infantry there as well. Don't have it, but I can use some ESCI or Italeri French Nappie infantry. :-D

Still in Texas

Right now the barbecue-smoke is heavy over Sweden. Everyone is at the barbecue (yup, me too) so if you can smell some barbecue when you read this you know why. What I have at the barbecue? Pork, chicken, beef, mushrooms, onions, vegetables, etc, etc. But I still managed to get some painting done. Almost finished my Texans! Why I didn't paint the shoes/boots on the casualties is anyone's guess, I have no idea except that I didn't think of it. The rest still got their bases because I want to see how it all looks with the cavalry (and maybe some Mexican infantry). I know Davy shouldn't be there, but I couldn't resist.

Got some more paint on the Mexicans and their horses and found a Texas casualty I had forgotten.

The local toystore have closed and I bought two houses that I don't know what to do with right now. I don't like that they are ruined, but that's how it is. Airfix so they are a bit on the small side. First their café with some figures for scale, one Airfix Prussian, one IMEX Texan and one Strelets Boer (+ two Airfix WWI casualties).

And then their country-house (I think it was called). With same figures (almost).

Well, that's it for now.

Stop the cavalry

Back to the minis! Working on a little Texas-something. Almost finished my Texans, but you will have to wait until they are finished. I have started on the Mexican cavalry using Hat's Napoleonic French Dragoons and French Lancers. I think they look much better than IMEX' cavalry. And I already have them! :-D

Already finished one of them. He lost a duel at Benno's some time ago.

A long time ago I made a dio called "Party in the woods" and I've finally started with the bases for the prequel and the sequel. The prequel is almost finished, I have the figures, I have a good title, all I need is a base. The sequel is bit more to do. Only one figure and horse finished (three more horses and one more figure to finish), but a good idea about how the base will look when finished. No title though.
