I think COVID19 as shocking as it is, has given me pause to reflect on what matters in life but also in our hobby that consumes our spare time. Up until lock down I spent a lot of evenings working late and either eating at restaurants or going in to town (40 kilometres one way) to grab things for the wife, shopping etc. Now I have weekends at home and invariably end up in the man cave painting basing or as my mate Matt and I call it "Noodling".......<br />
<br />
Well that all ceased and we have been at home in the first four months of the year more than we ever have. Weekends away from home are but a dream that I hope returns as restrictions lift for many of us. Travel even locally broadens the mind and makes for the opportunity to meet unique characters that make up this world. My wife keeps saying if we were all the same it would be boring........I always riposte with the fact that imagine having to go no further than next door to look at a lovely collection of figures and get in a sneaky game on a Saturday afternoon and the endless discussions that could be had with a planet full of painters, collectors and wargamers........oh bliss.........world peace sorted out over a table.......at that stage she walks away rolling her eyes.....Anyway I digress.....<br />
<br />
I haven't painted more figures in the past three to four months than I have painted in the last few years.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the latest pieces<br />

The 34 strong Perry Brunswick 2nd Hussars now completed. I think I got better with the black uniforms as I progressed, still a tricky thing to paint black. I opted for red fringes on the sheepskins as I saw a painting somewhere... it brightened them up I think.<br />

I have to admit a lot easier than doing a 30+ figure unit.<br />
<br />
I have had a lot of fun doing these and I think an hour or two at the most.<br />
<br />
I have completed a Dutch Carabinier and a French Curaissier as well as a sneek peek of the next set off the workshop.<br />

In the last year I think I have been working slowly on the Empress Dragoons of which I have completed 14 and only 27 to go as well as a number of the Generals and their command bases for I Corp under dÉrlon. I have also completed 18 of the 34 Brunswick Hussars......So I haven't been idle just not overly prolific in my painting accomplishments.<br />
<br />
The benefits of isolation and the Easter long weekend have worked together to get me motivated to finalise a number of projects that I was avoiding. <br />
Having bought all of the Perry Hanoverian's that I needed to finish the Hanoverian units at Waterloo. As in all things involving this hobby and me being a compulsive obsessive, I purchased all 500+ figures needed when they first came out..........SO I spent a large part of the weekend preparing all of the figures cleaning the flash off and sorting them into the right regiments.<br />
<br />
So I prepared 9 Battalions of Hanoverian Landwehr totaling 288 figures and 1 Field Battalion of 32 figures. I also realised that I probably ordered around 60 figures more than I needed........so may need to off load them to a worthy isolationist who needs them.<br />
<br />
On a brighter note I also finished the Elite Gendarmes from Perry a week or so ago so took a few photos for you.<br />

Finally I got these amazing bases with a dial on one end and numbered 0-10 that are large enough to hold a horse so I started on a casualty marker using the awesome Perry Dutch Cavalry casualty set. So this one I painted up as the Dutch 6th Hussars, pinned under his deceased horse.<br />

I also did a few ADC's from Front Rank in Hussar Style of the 4th and 6th Regiments...... I will be using these figures as General de Division Jacquinot of the 1st Cavalry Division attached to 1st Corp. I really enjoyed painting these as they are beautiful figures...now all I have to do is find a better way of doing leopard skin saddle cloths..and hope they perform well on the field of battle. Enjoy <br />

<br />
As we had an extended break between Easter and Anzac Day I spent some time behind the brush and finishing off a few other units that I had sitting awaiting their turn patiently. The good news is I only have 8 more of the Grenadiers a Cheval to complete that unit, having knocked over another 4 during the break. <br />

At this time of year CanCon (Canberra Convention) graces the area and it always manages to re-motivate me. I get to see some amazing people from this hobby and always manage to find like minded people from around the country and in some cases internationally.<br />
<br />
I have been progressing with painting and have in fact had a bit of a burst of progress in the last month having a week at home before returning to work. In between fighting Scottish thistle on the farm and intruding wombats that keep entering the house paddock and digging up what little lawn there is left after a few weeks of 35+ degree weather, I have managed to complete a number of pieces.<br />
<br />
Finished basing four more French Regiments in 3rd and 4th Divisions in D'Erlons 1st Corp below.<br />

Willow and I tried to recreate the 1st attack of that fateful day in 1:20 ratio of figures to actual men at the battle. So DÉrlons 1st Corp assembled across the field from the thinly stretched allied line with only a few regiments standing to oppose the massed french infantry supported by the grand battery and some cavalry. The Players for the allied side looked on in dismay. We used General de Brigade and they played out beautifully. Was great to see 250+ figures per column. Quite a sight mon ami....<br />

The dice gods then really abandoned the French and the remaining columns seeing their friends turn and run decided that survival was probably preferable to being charged by cavalry fled back across the table resulting in a complete rout. So history in this case definitely repeated. Greg and Boyd patiently awaited the French Arrival rolled some great dice and rolled up the french with just the Scots Greys as the rest of the Union Brigade wasn't so keen to charge which was almost the perfect outcome. The Duke of Wellington would have said "well played that man".<br />
A glorious victory to my Allied troops and a stern talking to of my French lads.<br />

<br />
They are Osterode Landwehr Btn, Bremenvorde Landwehr Btn, Osnabruck Landwehr Btn,Duke of Yorks 1st Field Battalion, Bremen Field Btn, Verden Field Btn, and Luneberg Light Field Btn.(not all shown as we ran out of time). I will try and get a shot of the whole when I can master depth of field shots and bracketing.<br />

I have moved things around and am starting to finish a lot of bench projects that have been calling me for years. I finally completed the Cavalry Commander for 2nd Corp being Piré as well as finally basing all of the artillery.<br />
<br />
The new home for II Corp is a new shiny display case. It only just fitted all of the lads as there are just under 1100 figures in it. For your delight a few shots.<br />

I have added another 4 french regiments and 6 Hanoverian Field and Landwehr units. Hougamont is still sitting unfinished waiting for some assistance from the Willow. I thought I would go down memory lane today as it is cold and grey and foggy at home and look at the army in 2003 as it was then.<br />
It is now three times as large and now has an entire French Corp and a Prussian Brigade in addition to the allied army. A few of my favorite shots.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The laying out of Hougoumont was done on the weekend and now some final drybrushing and weathering and it can be glued down ready for all of the basing materials and gardens and trees to be completed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All of the photos I have seen of Hougoumont showed a rise in the ground from both the north and south gates towards the chateau itself. We have used 3mm MDF cut with a jigsaw to step the ground up and when the filler and ground cover are put in place it should represent a gentle rise from the north gate and a sharper rise from the south gate toward the chateau.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The image in my head of what this will look like when completed is amazing and as I have seen quite a few representations of Hougoumont I think this one will be up there with the best.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>

The French II Corp rounded up the supply wagons and packed up and headed to Goulburn for the Bi Annual Australian Napoleonic Congress. The photos below are from the games I was involved in. Please enjoy. My command stand of General Husson won the award for Command Stand in 28mm in the painting competition as well which was a bonus. <br />

On the First Day the French routed the Spanish in detail in Game 1 using 'General de Brigade' rules and in Game 2 on Sunday they had a hard task attacking a hill using 'In the Grand Manner' rules. A great two days gaming and some lovely eye candy to stare at on the other tables. Richards Spanish Lancers were superb. <br />

<div>
After a number of months of inactivity and many thousands of dollars being spent the games room is almost complete. It has been a mammoth task and over the next month or so the fixtures should be finalised to enable full production of the terrain tables needed for the project.</div>
<div>
The view here is from the middle facing west and as you can see it has its own bar fridge, kitchenette and a toilet and handbasin within the enclosed area. The triple ranch sliders are in and the last piece of construction is placing the awnings up on the exterior to protect the doors from the weather. I also acquired a wood burner and flu kit which will be installed at the back RH side near the ladder so in winter the whole area can be heated.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEwu4um9W0kkJ29HQSP_-nY_Wl9V_ADmSyY-DFjXGv0V9cGS5qYpxDW5d4fXjTLzb6ny7d5nd0pwq2BjhhzZvKnuha1tMZZ8dZoARDGSuv3QhHbHicVSKs5s3YT1xMpRVUjZtB5MYPAd0/s1600/DSC_0068.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561538506181850674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEwu4um9W0kkJ29HQSP_-nY_Wl9V_ADmSyY-DFjXGv0V9cGS5qYpxDW5d4fXjTLzb6ny7d5nd0pwq2BjhhzZvKnuha1tMZZ8dZoARDGSuv3QhHbHicVSKs5s3YT1xMpRVUjZtB5MYPAd0/s320/DSC_0068.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 213px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /></a></div>

This last picture shows the middle area on the south facing wall which is where the workspace will be for the painting area and left of that the photography studio for the mammoth project of photographing each of the units done to date. Hopefully after January that task can start and the updates will become more regular.</div>

I finally completed undercoating the buildings and Matt has started with the base layer of colour as you can see from the pictures. We are now working on the mechanics of creating the rise of the ground within the walls of the farm, as the Chateau was on higher ground than the south gate, Three failed attempts and we have decided on mdf 6mm board cut to shape to give the centre of the farm the elevation needed.</div>

A trip to Auckland last week allowed me to stock up on a lot of nice terrain, thank you Wayne for your patience as we trapesed all over town from hobby shop to hobby shop to top up on Silfor and a whole lot of Noch bits and pieces that will make the formal gardens look the part as well as the forests to the front of the farm.</div>

I finished a basic light box for photographing the units as they are completed and have just purchased the lights and tripod so will have a day of photography to start getting the units up on the blog in the not too distant future.<br />

The first effort of photography without lights and the camera flash proved to be a bit disappointing but the next photo's will be much clearer with the new lights and tripod to keep the camera from shaking. If you cant tell what it is it is my first French Limber team being the Old Guard Foot Artillery carrying a 12pdr into action. </div>

Next step is to finish painting Hougoumont and to get it based onto the new board. </div>

Having acquired the hovels complete Hougouagged it out and commenced the cleanup of all of the buildings. Matt on the dremel and me with the soapy water to clean the release agent from the resin which is left by the moulds. </div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452522411001478802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnAUuN4HSwivA35n3_sqCOfdgU-x-BR3l3UhpDm3PHRpHPDdkkkmryaZLbngJDRSRQ_R8S_poe8iR5ag20jdzwXaZFdffoYyZxhfal5EBylLX4_NenEFEo254x9onKgY3Qwo4j_XIs884/s320/015.JPG" /><br /><div></div><div>The next step was to determine the scale and dimensions of the battlefield. Having a 18m x 10m shed helps but the maths of scaling the distance if in absolutely correct scale would make the length of the battlefield around 48m long and about 20m wide. This wasnt practical so we have settled on 14.4m long and 6m wide. so that equates to 8 tables long and 5 tables wide. Each table is 1.8m x 1.2m which in old terms is 6ft x 4ft. Each table will have three 4ft x 2ft terrain tiles two long ways next to each other and one long ways on the end to make a perfect rectangle. </div><div> </div><div>With that in mind the initial Hougoumont terrain tile needed to be two 4ft x 2ft tiles joined together to make a 1.2m x 1.2m square. We are using high density insulation foam as the basis for the terrain tiles backed by 6mm MDF. A note to the uninitiated in buying timber mdf boards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcioMzscTkj9eAV4w6mykV1rhIx9hzng_dN3y4kospUQW-u52CbboGNHR0tEdeVOFVYnG2bwYlO8AB-L3ESlaFit4fqCm6CE9Pw2w9f4H8poIXiK-85WGdiVNB2AKF7iWhqE-WM9lnRTE/s1600/016.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452519492701965922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcioMzscTkj9eAV4w6mykV1rhIx9hzng_dN3y4kospUQW-u52CbboGNHR0tEdeVOFVYnG2bwYlO8AB-L3ESlaFit4fqCm6CE9Pw2w9f4H8poIXiK-85WGdiVNB2AKF7iWhqE-WM9lnRTE/s320/016.JPG" /></a> precut to 1200mm x 600mm although they state that they are this size the normal is 650 x 1250 so the circular saw and straight edge come in handy. Measure twice cut once has worked to date. So with that in mind we are on our journey which will continue on the weekend.</div><div> </div><div>Colin</div><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Colinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17593300997973475653noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703672138454346895.post-83176013344690171532010-03-18T13:01:00.000+11:002010-03-19T11:57:33.976+11:00A Dream Becomes RealityThis blog has been set up for the purpose of following the progress of the recreation in 28mm of the battlefield of Waterloo for the 200th Anniversary in 2015. This blog will follow the construction of the tables and the painting progress of many of the 28mm miniatures that will be gracing the tabletop.<br /><br />Although both Matt and Colin live in Australia and the Battle of Waterloo occurred 200 years ago in another continent, we were both as children enamored as we read about arguably the most famous battle in history. We are still captivated by the imagery of the art, uniforms and actual accounts in books. Our goal is to deliver a worthy monument to this battle in the coming few years or so.<br /><br />Colin has always had a fascination for the period and battle and has been collecting and painting the entire orbats for the Allied army and the French for the last 15 years, a very large part has been purchased and added to the lead mountain. The Figure ranges include Front Rank, Calpe and Perry miniatures. Colin's book collection on Waterloo and to a lesser degree the Napoleonic wars is something to behold and he has bought nearly every available book on his favourite battle "La Belle Alliance" , "Mt St Jean" or "Waterloo" depending on your viewpoint. <br /><br />For Matt, he has had a fascination for the Napoleonic period since he was ten years old, he personally prefers the Glory years of the French army 1805 – 09 and all of his 28mm armies reflect this. Matt has been wargaming for 30 odd years now and he still hasn't finished collecting what he needs (or wants) for many periods.<br /><br />When Colin asked me to help, I was excited by the concept and honored when he asked me to help his dream become a reality. So with a spare day on the weekends now and again, some good port and lots of hard work we should have a piece of art worthy of a monument to Napoleon's last Hurrah!<br /><br />The question of scale has been raised a number of times in the preparation and planning, as we both use 1 to 20 figure scales we needed a large table, quick calculations in exact scale put it at about 40m long and as this wouldnt work we have scaled down the area to around 14m long and 6m wide which will fit into the shed Colin is modifying to become the the games room.<br />The goal is to have from the staging area behind Wellingtons position to La Belle Alliance on Napoleons ridge and past Hougoumont on the flank and to the woods from which Bluchers' Prussians emerged.<br /><br />The table is intended to reflect the battlefield down to the elevation, buildings, hedges, trees, roads, paths and the problematic crop fields; Matt has punched all this into a AutoCAD program which will help us build as close as we can a scale plan that will then be transferred onto the tiles that make up each table.<br /><br />For those who are on the various wargaming forums around you will possibly know us from our handles "Brushmonkey" (Colin) and "Bluewillow" (Matt). We will be moderating the Blog and adding details, pictures and thoughts as we go.<br /><br /><br />Cheers<br />Matt and ColinColinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17593300997973475653noreply@blogger.com1
