Silesian Landwehr officer


A Regimental commander or ADC for my Silesian Regiment. Again an 28mm Elite miniature. I wanted to depict a young volunteer officer who has supplied his own horse, so his main difference is his epaulette with a red pin stripe. 

The cross is 3d Resin, the base is scratch built with plastic former than milliput, but I am planning on adding it to the cross model next time. Really happy with my result. 



 Cheers

Terrain Tuesday - medieval house

 Bourgeois House 

A project I started last year during the  analogue painting challenge in March 2023. I was in storage last week when I found the half finished, so I decided bring it down and comple it over the weekend. Quite happy with my results, I intend to base this also and make a gatehouse and outbuilding for it with the entry from the courtyard. It will join my other pieces and is suitable from 13th century to current. 






Panzer Lehr Normandy

 Panzer Lehr Normandy 

Another big project this year is to complete my Panzer Lehr for Normandy, I have commenced reaserch and will be using Simons soldiers and Elhiem miniatures. Half tracks and tanks will be PSC from the stash plus a few other 1/72 plastic and resin kits. 

I have completed the first battalion infantry this week and hopefully will be done by early August. Research has commenced on vehicle camouflage and markings. 

The miniatures are from Simons Soldiers range, as usual built for Rapid Fire. 










Cheers
