King's German Legion 2nd Light Battalion

 Finished up the 2nd Light Battalion KGL.  Pretty much the same as the 1st Light, though sources said they had darker uniforms so I did that.  Not sure how well that shows in the photos.  Sources also identified other minor uniform differences between the 1st and 2nd Light but as I'm using the same sculpts I didn't make those distinctions.

King's German Legion 1st Light Battalion

 Adding to the KGL, here's the 1st Light Battalion.

First pic is the "formed up" battalion and the second pic is the battalion on skirmish bases.

Napoleonic French ADC's

Just off the painting table, a set of French ADC's.  AB minis from Eureka.  

Russian Infantry

First start on Russian 1812 troops.  Mk 1 Mod 0 Infantry.  Figs are Eureka/AB.

More Vietnam Stuff for Jim

Cranked out some more USA Vietnam vehicles and infantry for Jim.  The NVA is in for some hard times I fear . . .

Armored Quad .50 gun trucks, truck with .50, plain old trucks, M113 ACAV, M60's and M551's along with some heavy weapons personnel.  Minis are Old Glory except the M551's which are FoW.

More Vietnam Stuff

So this is a sample of some painting I did to add to Jim's collection.  Minis are Flames of War.

Brown Water Navy Troop Carrier with Helo Pad

Couple of UH-1 Versions

OH-6 and AH-1

USA WWII Minis for Scott2

Just finished some WWII US figures for a friend

 M2 Halftracks

Jeeps

M4 Shermans

British 12th Light Dragoons

Portuguese 1st Cavalry Regiment

Ready for Albuera

I see a few places where I need some detail, but they're good to go.  Eureka just came out with Portuguese Cavalry figures last week and due to their speedy shipping I have some ready for battle.

British 13th Light Dragoons

Just in time for the Albuera battle this weekend . . .

Looks like I need to add brown wash to faces.

Austrian Grenadiers

Halfway through painting and basing Austrian Grenadiers.  Six "companies" of four stands completed, six more to go.  Scott B. should be able to make a lot of converged grenadier battalions from this effort.  Minis are Old Glory 15's.

A Few Items Completed . . .

First up is a sample of Artizan 28's of US WWII Infantry in greatcoats.  Two squads worth of infantry plus MG and Bazooka support are ready to go.

Next are a couple of units I finished for my growing 15mm Medieval Lithuanians.  Medium cavalry and the Commander-in-Chief stand.  Minis are Essex.

Finished Kevin's Japanese Infantry Regiment

These are 15mm Battle Honors/Quality Castings figures based for Command Decision rules.  Photos are a bit dark as boards were too big to fit completely under my bright lights.

Infantry Regiment and 1st Battalion

2nd and 3rd Battalions

Tank Group, Trucks, and Limbers

WWII Japanese Infantry Regiment

Still plugging away on Kevin's Japanese . . .

Several artillery limbers and pack mules

and some heavy infantry weapons, infantry and artillery crews.

Talavera 28 July 1809

What to do while the snow is coming down outside?  I know, I'll set up the Battle of Talavera!  Still have a few Spanish brigades to fill and I need to add the Tagus River to the map, but here it is so far.  Troops are poised before the big French attack at 1pm.

The photo below shows the Spanish (Allied right) troops anchored on Talavera and the breastworks in front of the Portina stream.  The blue ink show where I need to add the Tagus River and the yellow line shows where I need to add two Spanish brigades.

Photo below shows the Allied center composed of British troops.

And the Allied right held by British and Spanish (yellow lines) troops.

For the French right, Ruffin's troops backed by cavalry in the hill country

And the French center where three divisions are massed.

And the French left where Dragoons and the Leval's German Division are positioned.  All the troops lined up where the Tagus river should be the French reinforcements that arrive behind the German division.

Kevin's WWII Japanese

Next project on the table are the first of what will be a reinforced Japanese WWII regimental battlegroup for Kevin L. based for Command Decision rules.  Figures are 19th Century Miniatures/Old Glory 15/Battle Honors/Quality Castings or whatever you want to call them.  In this photo, the black primed figures are getting their uniform base coat, a gold brown and plague brown to provide some variation.

Not very exciting at the moment, but with some highlights and detail they'll soon start to look 'more better.'

Now with the uniform and kit detailed, here is what we have (changed to macro lens for better close-up) . . .

Brown-wash and highlights next, followed by varnish.  Stay tuned.

And the final product. . .

Now just 200+ figures to go and a dozen or so vehicles . . .

Spanish Artillery

And some Spanish foot artillery with crew in bicorne.  Figures are Old Glory 15's from 19th Century Miniatures/Battle Honors

Spanish Light Cavalry

Latest effort provides some Spanish Cazadore (Chasseurs) Light Cavalry.  The unit in red facings is the Olicanza Regiment and the unit in blue facings is the Espana Regiment.  Figs are Old Glory 15's (a.k.a. Battle Honors, a.k.a. 19th Century Miniatures).

Spanish Heavy Cavalry 1810-ish

Spanish Heavy Cavalry Regiments Rey (Red Facings) and Calatrava (Lt Blue Facings).  Minis are Old Glory 15's. 

Muddy, Snowy Tanks

Painted some 15mm Soviet armor I had sitting around.  Tanks are in winter whitewash with a liberal application of mud, rust, and grime.


First batch are T-70's, an interesting little tank . . . well armored and a good gun for its size.  Not much use by '44 though except as a recon tank.  These are all Plastic Soldier Company models.










Second batch are T34's.  Again these are Plastic Soldier Company models.  Also have a set of turrets to convert them to T34/85's, though the wheels and hull are not correct for T34/85 but close enough for gaming.











And third batch are Battlefront Models.  A KV-1, two factory types of T34, and a T-60.
