Red Tail down

  Red Tail Down 

An old 1/72 Frog P51 mustang has been sacrificed to have a crashed aircraft. Quite happy with it, perfect for a jumping off marker or objective or just table decoration.

6th Chevau-Leger Lancier regiment

 6th Chevau-Leger Lancier regiment 

Completed the First Sqaudron, 28mm warlord games Chevau leger lancers. 

The regiments elite figures had added plumes from the Victrix Bavarians added, epaulettes from the warlord frame. The elite company had red pantaloons, red epaulettes and fringes, red helmet comb and white plumes. The unit also had buff facings and belts. The lance pennant is unusual as it is reversed white over red, rather than red over white like the other French chevau-leger lancer regiments. I have been unable to drill down to find out an explanation yet for this. 

I plan to add the eagle and standard in a grand parade for Napoleons with band  in April, when I complete the third regiment of Lancers. I am quite happy with my results. In April I plan to focus on additional units for my 1813 campaign army and hopefully kick off the resin printer for some additional Piano wargames figures.

6th Chevau-Leger Lancer 1st Sqaudron

 6th Chevau-Leger Lancer 1st Sqaudron 

When Warlord recently had their Black Friday sale back a few months ago I could not resist and I purchased a 4 boxes of Lancers plus a few sprues from the sprue sale. I have organised these for General de Brigade/d’Armee and In the Grand Manner. I settled on three six figure Sqaudrons so per regiment. The 6th chevau-leger lancers uniform is quite striking, red pantaloons, and buff belts and gloves. I need to add an eagle and standard when flags are presented on Napoleons birthday.

Knights of the Air

 

 Knights of the air 

 I like to build ww1 aircraft for my Bloody April WW1 games every year. Both aircraft are hand painted one 1/72 Revell and one Roden kit, both with airfix pilots. 

First Aircraft completed for  Jasta 11 Lothar Richthofen, brother of the famous Baron! 






First aircraft for Jasta 36 Harold von Bülow-Bothkamp, a very colorful Fokker DR1, an ace fighter pilot of both world wars.
