I think they're up to something
I used water based yacht varnish - which is nice but took two coats to get the required shine. I think I may have to stick the brain cell endangering oil based version.
I'm reading Mike Embree's "Too Little, Too Late" at present about the Austro Prussian War of 1866. Which would suggest these chaps are up to skullduggery.
Sadly I don't think there are any moulds available that would allow me to make additional Prussian infantry.
Absolutely splendid.

ReplyDeleteSo it would appear.
DeleteHow does one remove Prussians from one's garden? Can you use beer like with slugs? Nice figures though.
ReplyDeleteCheers, PD
I'm going to have to conduct more extensive tests.
Delete"brain cell endangering oil based version " sounds just the ticket for these chaps, good luck finding some rank and file.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Fingers crossed.
DeleteYup, keep telling yourself that.
ReplyDeletedutkins lil army 54mm WW1 moulds
Yes - I saw that fellow. I was wondering if I could find something a little simpler. The rucksack and other webbing are a bit busy.
DeleteNifty handful of toy soldiers, there, Conrad.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Embree book, a small stack of 1866 books await study on my desk. Perhaps Embree should added? will you be providing a book review?
A book review is in the works - but in brief, recommended. Mike is a wargamers historian and is top notch at operational stuff. If you've any interest in 1866, you should give it a look.
DeleteBeware the Teutons among the crotons...
ReplyDeleteBeware indeed!
DeleteToy soldiers al fresco ,what's more to want?
ReplyDeleteA good book and a glass of something convivial, perhaps?
DeleteCharming scene, I like the table with it's map.
ReplyDeleteThat was a bit of a poser to paint to be honest. Glad you liked it.
DeleteLovely!

Glad you liked it Stokes.
DeleteWhat a splendid vignette, well done sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteBeware the Hun in the sun! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteBeware the Hun sunning himself?
DeleteThey look capable of all sorts of frightfulness!
ReplyDeleteOh they are.
DeleteAlthough, honestly, when are Prussians not up to something?
