Instead enjoy these pictures of the Grenadiers de Franlysse. They featured here and they are a unit ready for battle know. I haven't got around to painting the wargames table yet, I'll explain later why this is...
But I wanted to see if everything would come together and look right to me.
-Note linen flags, NCO with soldered spontoons, and balsa house in the background.
-ooh, and the hedges and fences...and trees...
-How about some 9 by 15 feet of goblin greenish surface...?
-Just a pity it's vertical...but then, who else can say they tricked their spouse in having a goblin green feature wall in the sitting room.-

Everything looks very good to me (including the feature wall...and a brilliant good idea as well!).

Good to have you on-line again, and the Grenadiers de Franlysse are eye-candy now: cheers!

The miniatures, flags and building all look great!

Great looking regiment and terrain

The troops and scenery look great.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me that you didn't line the wall with a thin sheet of steel before painting and that you are not busy attaching magnets to your troops.
Glad to be back, gentlemen, glad to be back.

Nicely painted troops and the wall does not look half bad either.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought of a gloss finish for the wall?

Great idea: a green feature wall - great for backgounds. The buildings go very well with the soldiery - straightforward, simple, and eye-catching. great!

Those buildings look even better in real life! Now can we have a tutorial on how to make 'em or is that a marital secret LOL???
ReplyDeleteNice work

Hello Pjotr,
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and think it's terrific. I especially enjoy all the pictures of your glossy, old-school, toy soldiers. They're inspiring!
Thanks very much. Best regards,
