With Brush In Hand...

 


   "I'm John and I paint miniatures or toy soldiers or whatever." To that, the room responds "Hi, John!" And we're off. (No insult is meant to those in any 12 step program. I just "feel" addicted at times.)

  Some of my latest painting attempts/successes/mess-ups.

15mm TundraWorks figures for the Seven Years War
Prussian garrison regiment figures painted as Swedes 

Same unit -- a close up of the command stand...
Officers, an NCO, and a drummer

 
30mm SYW female civilian from a company who's name
I've forgotten.

An older woman in 30mm from the same mis-remembered line

SYW woman with broom.
Still can't remember the company's name.
I purchased them at the Seven Years War Convention
this past Spring in South Bend, IN.

Royal Marine officer - Knuckleduster Miniatures
to be used for The Silver Bayonet naval/marine crew

From Trent Miniatures -- Little Turtle of the Miami
Another addition to our First Nations band for The Silver Bayonet

Again from Trent Miniatures...
Robert Emmet, 1803 Irish rebellion leader
He'll be some sort of specialist or commander for
a Silver Bayonet team
(I need to re-do his eyes, I think.)


Another Trent offering...
Madame Bulkeley, Vendee Rebel leader
A grand figure for a female Silver Bayonet group


A Catholic priest from Trent Miniatures
Some Roman Catholic Silver Bayonet outfit just gained
a new supernatural investigator!
I think he has a bottle of holy water on the back of his belt.

From ResinWarfare in Spain...
The crux of evil in any Canada scenario!
Canada Geese aka The Cobra Chicken!

These beasties came 7 figures to the order and are very nice. To be recommended!
They don't appear in The Silver Bayonet game or in the Canada supplement,
so I cobbled up some home-based rules for these ornery, nasty critters.
All residents of Canada know and are wary of them.

  1. Excited to see the tundra works minis in the wild. I bought a 15mm Russian army via the Kickstarter and it's somewhere in the painting queue. Nice job painting yours as Swedes.

    1. Thanks, Mike. I thought that the Russian uniform would be a better match for the Swedes, but the TundraWorks leader recommended Prussian garrison troops. I enjoyed painting them. They included plenty of drummers and NCOs.
