More KV-85 and the Photo Setup

Worked with the Canon Rebel to see if I could get decent shots of 15mm infantry.  Nothing worth posting so far.  Going back to my Olympus 3MPixel camera, I got some better shots of recently painted armor.  Again 15mm Battle Honors/Quality Casting models.  Need more focal depth (treads out of focus) and need to straighten that barrel!

WWII Soviets and a Better Photography Setup

Been busy this past week painting Soviet vehicles. Also setup a light box to improve photography but I still need to work at it some more. Light is uneven because of two different wattage bulbs (I'll correct that tomorrow), and still working on the camera settings. Camera is an old 3 megapixel Olympus. Once I get that camera squared away, I'll try the Canon Rebel SLR. Ooo-yeah. Anyway, here's some pics. Minis are all Battle Honors/Quality Casting 15mm.

The Score on The Border

We are currently in our "January 1525" Campaign Turn.

Here's the score from Raids and Hot Trods along the most murderous border . . .

Raid #1: The Bournes sent two Heidman agin The Armstrangs. The Armstrangs were plundered, lauched a Hot Trod and were kicked to the dirt, lost a heidman that was ransomed back. Score: Bournes +95, Armstrangs -91

Raid #2 The Armstrangs sent Sim Armstrang to raid the Bournes. The Bournes rode down the hapless Armstrangs in a very Hot Trod. Score Armstrangs -84, Bournes +95.

Raid #3 The Scotts sent 3 heidman a-raidin upon the Bournes. Score Scotts +97, Bournes -37

The other riding families stayed home near their warm hearths.

So after one month of Border Mayhem, the cumulative scores are:
Bourne: 153
Scott: 97
Patton: 0
Charlton: 0
Hapless Armstrang: -175

Players need to give me their heidman assignments for February 1525

Bloody Borders

So far we have one Sunday of raiding in. The Bourne's and Armstrang's have traded raids with the Armstrang's coming off the worse. We still need to carry out the raids by the Scott's. The Patton's and Charlton's are staying home and guarding their borders. So far the Bourne's lead among the plunderers.

British Napoleonic Infantry


I'm painting up more British Napoleonic Infantry, but this pic is of some very nice AB Minis I ordered from Dragon Painting Service in Hong Kong. I based them.

Soviet WWII Infantry Regiment for CD-TOB



This past weekend I felt the need to build up my Soviet WWII force in 15mm. Cranked out a two battalions of infantry along with their regimental HQ and companies. Based for Command Decision Test of Battle. These are pictures of the Regimental HQ Troop.
