On the workbench - November 2025

I have definately lost my way, I've too many conflcting priorities and painting is getting to the back of the list. This is partly because I may become a Grandfather, but also because of my work on the pub I'm expected to get on with work on the house now that I've finished with that.

So for now I hope I will be working on
  • Painting the Panzer 38t I assembled while away - still awaiting paint
  • 28mm Mexican Gunfighters - primed and based - still awaiting paint
  • WSS Dutch Gardes Te Voet - have been started
  • Some French Revolutionary generals - have been started
  • Get started on my replacement US units for Nam 68 - I've sorted and primed a US infantry platoon
  • Seven Years War Hanoverian Limbers
  • Start up the FDM printer - still not started, although Steve Pickstock gave me some usful ideas on how to use AI to generate terrain
  • 2 unts of Napoleonic Duchy of Warsaw Lancers
My next show will be Recon on 6th December with the Lance & Longbow Society

WSS Dutch Infantry

Just finished by the end of the month my first three Dutch Infantry regiments for the War of Spanish Succession, all quite sombre in their grey coats.
Regiment Welderen
Regiment Pallandt
Regiment Deelen
Based on information from Kronscaf Project WSS. Next up is the Gardes te Voet.

and ... I forgot to mention that a couple of the drummers are 3D printed to make up the numbers, not great prints but they did the job.

Other Partisan 2025

A weekend away for Other Partisan starting on a Saturday drive to a Premier Inn then an afternoon and evening spent gaming then off to Other Partisan in the morning. As usual lots of interesting games to see and people to meet. Here is a dump of the pictures I took.

Breeds Hill (or Bunker Hill if you prefer) - seems rather compressed north/south with Charlestown taking up more space, but looked pretty
Eastern Front 1944 in 20mm
Assault on Hillman 6th June 1944 - interesting as I had visited it just two weeks ago and had managed to visit a couple of the bunkers that wer inaccessible due to crops earlier in the year according to the organiser.
Vietnam
Marlboroughian
League of Augsburg - Barry Hilton in action again
The usual figures crossing the river
First Corps - Russian 1941
