Mule train is finished!

The base is four 40x40mm square plastic Renedra bases glued together with sculpting putty to add extra strength. I also used the putty to affix the models to the bases. Here with sand/gravel and some grey stuff rocks:

Here primed with Vallejo Parched Grass primer and painted with a mix of Tamiya paints:

... and based using a range of products (Army Painter highland tufts, various Gamers Grass tufts, Woodland Scenics static grass and clump foliage):

More WIP stuff...

The drover for the mule train is finished he just needs his animals done.

Not a particularly nice sculpt- I didn't really enjoy painting him; some of the sculpting seemed a bit "messy". A bit of an after though compared to the mules which, I think are quite nice:

Earlier this year I made a command stand using Warlord Games' Cromwell model, my intention being to use

him as Prince Rupert. As soon as I started painting him I knew it wasn't the model for the job but I carried

on with the command stand anyway:

I have since bought a blister of Mounted Commanders from the Perry's as there is a model that I think will do the job of Rupert (I wanted a more static pose for the command stand instead of Warlord's charging model). Two more models to paint and they should be done. The first with unpainted "Rupert" and metal Warlord foot command models:

The second with the newly painted mounted Commander, the old "Rupert" and an unpainted ensign from the Warlord plastic foot:

Not a big update. First a WIP of a generic ECW Royalist commander  from the Perry Miniatures range:

I also have Warlord's Mule Train prepped, primed and ready for paint:

Earlier I finished some scrub bases. I made these in mind for Jeff's Afristan colonial campaign using the Sword and The Flame rules. The last pic shows some rough ground markers I made a few months ago for the same campaign.

Hello and welcome to my Blog,

About 5 or 6 years ago I started a Historical Projects plog on Warseer with my 11th century Andalusian force based largely around kit bashes and conversions from existing plastic kits (mostly Conquest Games Normans). The plog evolved to include a wide variety of small side projects as well as another major project, a Royalist English Civil War army formed from two Warlord Games Starter Battalias.  Sadly, Warseer seems to have been laid low by internet villains and may not recover. So, I have decided to start recording my projects in a proper blog, here.

To begin with I will show a recently completed unit; a "generic" unit in redcoats:

I am halfway through a the 10 plastic Firelocks that come in a Starter Battalia:

A couple of years  ago I bought a number of Gripping Beast (I think they are Gripping Beast...) Muslim/Andalusian models second hand. Having recently made another purchase- this time Artizan Designs Andalusians- on The Lead Adventure Forum I decided I better get a start on the GB models:

So.. hopefully updates will be regular if not frequent.
