I struggled mightily with some of the details, particularly the wooden parts in the redoubts etc. Although I've painted many wooden terrain features to satisfaction over the years, this time around I became rather flummoxed by the attempt. So much so that at one point I re-primed the wood and started over. My first attempts were frustrated by stubbornness. As I continued to make mistakes, I tried to push forward and correct them... leading merely to a worse situation. Thus, the starting over. Even after the second attempt was much better, they still aren't to my full satisfaction but will do (in other words, I'm not gonna start again for the third time). </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I chose not to purchase the entire Sarissa Alamo (cuz that would be just silly, no?) and landed on what I call my pseudo-Alamo. It's big enough to play out some mission siege games and flexible enough to create a number of smaller, more discrete built up areas for different scenarios. Next up for this project are some scatter terrain bits and portable firing steps for the higher walls.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJUFCneGpEDrLQTOhD9iIm-ndsbS5UiTSwld1f3s6CfsMc7eoOrIbjldmR8aZOAHwd6wdtqdJYtB09kjChRwer5fmh4jw1HWKPnDDxtDXBLik3-gWyt69JXmQ37Bf0Ats_wYBrMz4F48MNB7ZZqOk1fx2R0bkH5DuR-2baN4rh8eaKmb84I1XQHtI0_Q=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1816" data-original-width="4032" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJUFCneGpEDrLQTOhD9iIm-ndsbS5UiTSwld1f3s6CfsMc7eoOrIbjldmR8aZOAHwd6wdtqdJYtB09kjChRwer5fmh4jw1HWKPnDDxtDXBLik3-gWyt69JXmQ37Bf0Ats_wYBrMz4F48MNB7ZZqOk1fx2R0bkH5DuR-2baN4rh8eaKmb84I1XQHtI0_Q=w400-h180" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">The full mission compound from Sarissa.

My two favourite figure ranges for this project are North Star and Galloping Major. Unfortunately, neither include British grenadiers. The only other manufacturer that I like and somewhat closely matches my current collection in size and sculpting style is Front Rank but no raised detail on the mitres. This would be my fall back position if I found nothing else. Continued searching and found a vague reference on a forum or blog (can't remember where) to the Wargames Foundry SYW British range. My first thought was that Foundry figures would be too small (as is the case with most of their ranges compared to more recent sculpts... despite the fact a lot of their figures are quite lovely). But the online reference also mentioned the bulkier size figures. So an order went off to Foundry!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzFDMFpNuxOBSbK9XkjCqFiiD-cA1bMyXQbKm2WfdFrQLpKVjty3VOnCu5yXVj_b6Nigy9W1JxPgRg8uSE2HKnxDyGkWSQxEOC6-a1PVjIW-5MhJMng5-CARDk2n5okAa0uhWhJ9fOYozZ/s2793/IMG_1187.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1126" data-original-width="2793" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzFDMFpNuxOBSbK9XkjCqFiiD-cA1bMyXQbKm2WfdFrQLpKVjty3VOnCu5yXVj_b6Nigy9W1JxPgRg8uSE2HKnxDyGkWSQxEOC6-a1PVjIW-5MhJMng5-CARDk2n5okAa0uhWhJ9fOYozZ/w400-h161/IMG_1187.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>45th Foot grenadiers on the left (green facings); 40th Foot grenadiers on the right (buff facings).

My first thought was to do a little research as the model has no stonework etched into the mdf walls. My (admittedly) uneducated impression of thousand year old churches is that they should be open stonework as we see all over the British Isles. But apparently, it was not unusual (but by no means ubiquitous) practice to coat or plaster stone walls with lime mortar that would take the colour of the earth with which it was mixed (vibrant reddish to yellow to white colours). This would provide an extra level of insulation, protection for the stone against the elements, and repelled vermin. I've also seen a reference to lime plastering helping in fire prevention. So, having availed myself of the interweb knowledge-base (everything on the web must be true!), I was content not having my church with open stonework and instead plastered. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9YEXXMW8lyN2q1aacsCxxEoL25azHyfer_PMQseuWL5sXScpui08zrdSlL8cJmZ54DcdXdO-Ok5mhitIp6TH_mDXHLctXgijw321zYKKMGEo7iHW0VJ1h7fah-VDQ14_pZLo4odhPUxmr/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img data-original-height="270" data-original-width="480" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9YEXXMW8lyN2q1aacsCxxEoL25azHyfer_PMQseuWL5sXScpui08zrdSlL8cJmZ54DcdXdO-Ok5mhitIp6TH_mDXHLctXgijw321zYKKMGEo7iHW0VJ1h7fah-VDQ14_pZLo4odhPUxmr/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn0Cezp_1gnlP9gA1rBo05sgRG9SPcYaoRQKUdB2g4PeYWC2X2YOvrovz56wp3B673GeeAXhY4Oo6T30DdpxGNLfyYf5hT1laXk1TRhplOu7fan4mPGkL_RgtxUZKYpNn0OcPPq2TP4Avn/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img data-original-height="270" data-original-width="480" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn0Cezp_1gnlP9gA1rBo05sgRG9SPcYaoRQKUdB2g4PeYWC2X2YOvrovz56wp3B673GeeAXhY4Oo6T30DdpxGNLfyYf5hT1laXk1TRhplOu7fan4mPGkL_RgtxUZKYpNn0OcPPq2TP4Avn/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">The basic Sarissa church assembled.

This step, I think, really makes a difference as it takes a fairly monochrome surface and adds depth and variance. The roof, after all, is one of the first things the eye catches on the table (since we're usually looking down from above). I've also added some flower and grass tufts to the base to add some colour and break up the straight lines a bit (again, helping to make the model feel a little more organic).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This time around I decided to bulk out the British forces with the addition of two skirmish groups of British infantry, a Royal Artillery gun & crew (from Front Rank), and some various command figures. I also included some leader figures for the French in the GM order. I had always thought that Front Rank figures were larger and bulkier than most other 28mm figures but the GM figures are even more so.

There is nothing wrong with the BG figures (sculpted by Paul Hicks); in fact, they're quite lovely but their sculpting style and lesser size don't match well with my current Galloping Major and Northstar figures.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">(Galloping Major)</span></i></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8r5R6dQyV05_cz1u0HN8txd6ZNhkVkglY_d7IjFK4z_rahTu9lRZZlhQN-87ltnqVJk6sHuY-aoRFzGnHJFlQLfve1OAQyyjzLr876r-4WyRq4nFClbSGDc0fuSSs6CANIjfHAb4BDfGS/s2048/IMG_1158.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1423" data-original-width="2048" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8r5R6dQyV05_cz1u0HN8txd6ZNhkVkglY_d7IjFK4z_rahTu9lRZZlhQN-87ltnqVJk6sHuY-aoRFzGnHJFlQLfve1OAQyyjzLr876r-4WyRq4nFClbSGDc0fuSSs6CANIjfHAb4BDfGS/w400-h278/IMG_1158.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Two Deployment Points.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Left: These Front Rank figures were completed previously but rebased onto a larger round base.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Right: Galloping Major figures with GMB flags... 60th Foot.</span></i></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /> </span><p></p>spqrdavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15898505471329951428noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768118531076266759.post-20963276442104297912021-02-23T16:03:00.006-05:002021-02-23T16:03:59.952-05:00FIW: Galloping Major Mohawks<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">My recent order from Galloping Major included some freebies, specifically native Mohawk warriors.

That may indeed be the fastest turnaround time from order to completion ever for me. The GM figures are quite lovely (in a "fighting natives on the frontier" kind of lovely) and are chunky like the North Star miniatures.

Brigade complete!<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">After my most productive hobby year ever in 2020 (6071 AHPC points, 781 28mm figures and various terrain pieces), I've spent the last month or so humming and hawing about what to do in 2021. I could start a new project... the anticipation, window-shopping and research are always an inspiration boost. A Dark Ages/Early Medieval project is calling to me... Saxons, Normans and Vikings for 1066ish? Or maybe a new force for Sharp Practice... Spaniards for the Peninsular collection... or maybe Prussians (Front Rank has some lovely new sculpts)? But during the current apocalypse, I've already created and completed two entire projects from start to finish. My 28mm French & Indian Wars (220 figures) and the 28mm Wars of the Roses (330 figures) projects are, for all intents and purposes, complete and playable (figures and terrain). But that is the problem... "playable." The FIW has seen the table twice during pandemic breaks and the WotR only once for a trial of <i>Never Mind the Billhooks</i>. Do I need another project that I'll, frankly, have little time to put out on a table even when/if the apocalypse subsides?</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">While I've clearly been on the fence about a new project (and I've been close to pulling the trigger on figure orders many times in the last month), I have made the short-term decision to defer the decision... yes, waffling even in the decision. Rather than add a new project, I've opted to clean out some small additions to current projects I already have in the lead pile. Thus, I've completed the remainder of Michael's Nordstrum 2. Brigade for our ImagiNation collection. And up on the paint desk now are some War of 1812/Napoleonic additions (a whopping 20 figures total in the latter).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">But for now...

So far, my painting and ordering schedule has worked well. For this project at least, I have begun painting as soon as an order arrives and also immediately order another batch. This way, there are always figures on the way while I'm beavering away at the current stock. One may question why I don't just order it all up front and take advantage of Front Rank discounts but there are a few legitimate reasons: first, I have a monthly hobby budget to which I try to adhere (with varying levels of success); second, Front Rank has had a limit on sizes of orders during the current apocalypse; and third, a mountain of unpainted figures can be a daunting sight.
