Homework

 Today was the first morning coffee outdoors this year . Sun shining and so warm, hopefully heralding some outdoor games this year. Took the chance to brush up on the rules...

 

Cavalry option 1

 Found this Illustration today of 1895-1900 or so Swedish Hussars. Nice smart uniform but not too flashy. Something to think about...

A commission.

 Some time last year or so I commissioned Ian Kay of Irregular Miniatures to make a 54mm figure for me of a Swedish soldier in this experimental uniform. Ian was most helpful and I would thoroughly recommend the service he provides. Here are two  of the drawings and here are two of the completed figures. Dodgy paint job down to me.

Its been a long , long time or Army Blue Yellow

 It has been some time ( understatement of the year) since I posted here. I thought it might be worth kicking off with some Army Blue Yellow pictures. More very soon.
