Aaah, wouldn't be wrong to lay ones hands on this beauty :) for 28mm wargaming. The thing is massive with removable floors and roof and really detailed indoors.

WIP of Harald Stepotoesson from Warlord games. Lovely mini with good details. Shield and base left.

Also been working on my Perry Agincourt to Orlean figures. Riders are done and I've begun undercoating the horses(with brushes..sigh) The cursed winter won't let go of Sweden. No way to undercoat with cans outside right. Live in an apartment so not easy spraying inside either :P

Put my brush to my Agincourt to Orlean range I've worked on. The collection is growing quite steadily. Will add some characters now in the form of Jean, La hire, bastard of Orlean and two frenc commanders. Great minis.

Forgot to post my finished officers. Based, tufted and ready to lead!

Got myself together and finished some Pikemen and Men-at-arms. I've started on these several monhts ago but go tired and put them away. Didn't see how little work I had left on them.
Also started painting Jean d' arc, La hire, the bastard of Orlean' and two french commanders.

Not much happening here sadly. Been prepearing my Russians for basing and undercoating but sadly lack the energy to really get into them right now. Got another 24 swedes laying around too.
Ordered some Confederate mini's from Renegade Miniatures. So there's no lack of projects just energy and inspiration but I'll guess it will come back anyday :)

Dwarves!

 Almost there...tufting and some shieldpainting left :)
 Captain, banner carrier, Balin and gimli.
 Some of the proud dwarves. Ready to reclaim their former glory.
Even smiths and stoneworkers needs some ranged weapons.

Italy!


News metals from Perry Miniatures is coming up. Some italian heavy infantry with some nice poleaxes. Nom nom! Also coming up is apparently italian ww2 infantry to accompany their ww2 brits and germans for the war in Africa. Really nice as I feel like laying my brushes on some african axis forces including some small early-mid war tanks.

Memory lane

 My first german I painted with Citadel Colours and wash. Was really happy witht the result back then.
These are the latest germans I've painted using citadel. Think I've come a long way in a few years. No golden demons here but good enough for my cabinet.

A project I tried a while ago. Thought I'd share it here to all my blogreaders.

Been tempted to get these. Lovely poses and I have a weak spot for heavy armour. Strangely there are no swords in the set despite swords being shown several times in the movie. 
Curse Jackson for making the men o dale look like this. I longed for their release but now I'm not so keen to lay my hands on them. Really never liked the look of pointy hats. Was hoping for them to look more like medieval men at arms with Lotr theme :P Ah..well, can't have it all.

 Finished my Mounted senior officers today. These are WIP pictures.


Finished my first regiment. Now I will start on my russian opponents and perhaps my other swedish regiment. These were a joy to paint. I'm tempted to get some ACW confederates or late roman troops in metal right now. Both Renegade and Musketeers miniatures got some nice 28 mm metals.
