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.

Nassau 2nd Infantry Regiment

And ready for action is the 2nd Nassau Infantry Regiment.  These troops were part of the German Division fighting for France in Spain.

Working on 1st Uhlan Regiment of Vistula Legion.  Below are the troopers all ready for basing . . . oh, I need to do the horse harness.

Next up are Officer and bugler types. 18mm AB Miniatures.

Easy ACW Fences . . .Which is more better?

I need more wood fences for 10mm ACW battlefields.  I don't want to buy, I want to make.  And I want simple . . . not fiddly and fragile fences made from individual sticks.

So I have crafted three alternatives from popsicle sticks and other bits.  

#1 Easy to make

#2 Easier to make

#3 Easiest to make

I'm thinking I'll go with #1 and if that gets to fiddly I can always drop to #2.
