Chronicling my wargaming activities. It will deal mostly with my attempts at terrain making, model building, figure painting and AARs (after action reports). I collect World War 2 and Victorian Colonial (British, Zulu and Generic Arabs)in 1/72 Scale, several small 6mm Napoleonic armies (no pun intended) French, British, Portuguese and Austrian, Wild West in 28mm, and some science fiction in 28-30mm.

I use the officers as required, so they are nationality neutral (as much as possible)

I now know that that the gun carriages should not be brown.

WIP: Painting 6mm Austrian Infantry
For something different (for the last several years I have been running a lot of WW2 games). I plan on running a Napoleonic game in August for the HGA.
Instead of French vs. Anglo-Portuguese in the Peninsula, I am going to run an Austrian vs. French Battle, I am thinking of the 1809 Battle of Sacile, or something hypothetical.
To get my interest piqued I decide to paint up some more Austrian infantry and probably some cavalry.
All I have done in the following pictures; is prime the figures in white, painted the bases green and blue-tacked the figure strips to water bottle lids

Gallery 6mm Napoleonic Anglo-Portuguese Army
A blast from last century.
I painted these in the early Nineties or maybe even late Eighties.
All figures are Adler 6mm.
Uniforms are pretty basic, when I painted them I had minimal Internet (via compuserve), as I recall I had to photocopy pages from Library books.
They are based for Napoleons Battles (1st ed). All measurements were reduced to 80% of normal, due to the 6mm smaller size. The size reduction also let me play on a 6'x4' table instead of 9'x5'
