Uniforms for Landstorme

Here are some photos of Tradgardland militia of Landstorme. They are depicted in the variety of uniforms they wear - which range across a wide spectrum from almost civilian to almost complete uniform. I hope to start work on some models very soon...

Tankettes of wood...

In the Duchy of Tradgardland agricultural experiments were carried out in the 1930's ...

It was a "win,win" situation - the tankette drivers got practice at driving and the farmers gained help with the work around the farm ,especially ploughing in particular.

I am resolved to try and build/carve some tankettes out of wood for durability. I have little or no skill in this area apart from woodwork at school!! However it will be a challenge and we shall see what can be produced. Any suggestions more than welcome!

Easter

A Happy Easter from all at The Duchy of Tradgardland!

Further uniform inspiration

These Swedish uniform items from 1910 caught my eye

Possible uniform for the Duchy...

Plume and trims in Rose perhaps- once more let me know what you think!

1930's Tradgardland

Another couple of images which have inspired my thoughts today...
1940 Danes and
modern ceremonial Swedes. I do find the Danish Guard uniforms very inspirational too...
More planning to do. Does anyone know of suitable figures for these and those in the previous post?

The Duchy of Tradgardland - a 20th century survival...

Jean Louis has persuaded me to investigate The Duchy of Tradgardland in the 1930's... As part of this process I have collected these images of 1930 Swedish and Danish uniforms. I am rather drawn to the coloured image of the Swede marching in blue- homeguard ww2.
As Tradgardland has always operated as a militia based force it seems very suitable . I will pipe the uniform /depict the collar in Rose -the Ducal colour.Off now to do some more researching. As ever let me know what you think...

I seem to be having problems posting images at present but will persevere. In the meantime enjoy these 1930's amy Red/White cyclists...
