Russian Big Wigs of the GNW #3 - A middle wig
This final piece in the series of three is painted as a brigadier of infantry. He is a slight conversion from the cornet figure in WLOA48 with an officer's arm replacing his original open hand.
The sentinel beside him is painted as a Semenovski Guardsman.
The uniform and Russian sash in national colours contrast very well with the black horse. I chose a smaller round base for this fellow.
These three...
Russian Big Wigs of the GNW #2 The General
This vignette feature three figures. The hat waving general from WLOA48 a senior officer from WLOA54 and a Russian musketeer from R01.
I use some interesting pieces of dead wood to create the fallen tree effect. You may also notice the two cannon balls and ploughed up ground to the front of the tree.
This is buckshot supplied by a friend.
I was very pleased with this piece of work and will copy it...

On the road with Bazza... Vaasa, Northern Finland 20 April 2016.
So, here I am in Vaasa, Finland (pop 60,000) earning Mrs Hilton's lunch money. My client takes me out to dinner in an Italian restaurant and we are presented with a special looking drink.
I am informed that it is 'officially the best gin and tonic on the planet'. Interesting for a gin soaked...
Warfare GNW Swedish gunners - 3 different crew combinations
Well, the Swedes were famous for taking the initiative during the Great Northern War and Clibinarium followed their lead!
Out of the blue he told me he felt it important to support the existing infantry with gunners and he had unilaterally taken the decision to sculpt a few from scratch.
A few? Well yes, I perhaps got carried away a bit. How many? About 15....
The crews he has produced allow us to...

Russian General |
I decided to experiment a little with the Warfare range in order to produce some distinctive command vignettes for the Great Northern War Russian Army.

#3 The brigadier |
These pieces were actually to be a gift for a friend of mine. I wanted to make bases tell a bit of a story and use complementary combinations of models on each.

Battle of Lesnaya in 20mm - Tactica game

Swedish view of the attacking Russian Army |
I was very taken with this 20mm scale game using Zvezda plastics. The guys running the game were from Germany but I confess to forgetting exactly which town they were from.

fine view of the Swedes with their backs to the river |
They ran the game as a participation effort but again I am unsure which rule system was used.

Uppland Femanning battalion
I wanted to paint a battalion of Swedes who were not in the stereotypical blue faced yellow. I decided to imagine a later war look and a battalion formed from new drafts of recruits who had limited access to uniforms and equipment.
Thinking about Confederate troops in the later part of the American Civil War or German units in 1944/45 I decided that a degree of latitude in uniform shades and hat...
