Great for a change!
I knew he was building an Austrian Army… but the result is magnificent!… now if those pesky Prussians come against them I fear they will lose order, life and limb!
Very good effort!
Enjoy!

It was one of those crazy things… I have never played a game by the rules A GENTLEMAN’S WAR by Howard Whitehouse… not I intent to… but I finally fall for the units organization (one never knows).
So, here they are… finally 24 Infantry models + Brigade Commander or whatecer is my fancy…
Enjoy!

Remember those bikes with policemen I painted in January?… well at last the General and his chauffeur are here… and now are finally displayed together… LOL
Great “ancient look” model… the only car in my modest collection!
Enjoy!

I added those casts as an afterthought to my order and have been painting them on and off while doing other things.
They look more Military Modeling than I thought… my intention was to use them as Toy Soldiers… but I do not know… the casts are truly excellent… practically they painted themselves!… such detail for a 54MM… what you find at default is probably my painting job…
Now… to gloss varnish or not… that is the question! (Finally did varnish them)
Enjoy!

You know I am not a real fan of Artillery… but what Trooping of the Colour Ceremonial is without them… so once again I dutifully collected.
They do those salvoes in Hyde Park etc.
Really nice models if you ask me.
Enjoy!

Now that was risky (the Colours Native Officer and RSM) were added three years later.
Not exactly exactly exactly the same tones on the faces and the kakhi uniform but absolutely satisfied by the result (now I have two units of 12 figures) Incidentally I misplaced the order of the Colours on the pic… Regimental Colour should be on the left!… forgive me.
Enjoy!

In another Post I showed “MY” Royal West Kent Regiment… in fact the Post was not complete because it did not showed the more “action” minis of the Regiment… so… here you have them (painted by me).
They are TRADITION OF LONDON Rifles painted as RWK, and some original to help the composition. The Wagon is from RPWORLD MODELS.
On the lower shelf some medical corps minis including nurses and police officers and “bobbies”… the only “civilians” in my collection… Holmes&Watson + Lestrade + Hansom cab (Some Tradition of London… some RPWORLD MODELS).
At the end of the Post see some minis and river boat pics I found on Facebook!… great pics of other collectors passions.
Enjoy!

It is funny how I replicated my sold collection of 25MM MINIFIGS in 54MM with time.
As you know I went 6MM wargaming after a deep crisis about numbers&table space concerning 25/28MM… old news for the old reader of this posts.
Then Nostalgia struck and I bought (slowly but firmly) the minis I used to had because I missed them!… not even a childhood nostalgia… just the silly fact that I should not have had to sell them at all and simply kept them in cabinets… LOL
For those who need to know they are mainly RPWORLD MODELS; TRADITION OF LONDON; and General Wolseley is a damn fine REPLICA mini made to order by Andrew Stevenson.
Enjoy!

In my collection ERII will remain at the head of the Trooping of the Colour display… not that I do not have the Charles III mini too… but there you are I was born in 1952 and habits and frame die hard.
Surely Charles will do a lot of ceremonial but not so many as his mother I fear.
We collectors are like that. I think that I already did a Post about them but not going to check… today is my wife’s anniversary so… a good homage to the Queen of my heart.
Incidentally, Jack Duke from DUCAL did for me a lot of “specials” that are in this pic try to find them…
Enjoy!
PS: On second thoughts maybe… just maybe… I will paint a King Charles III… he is from my generation after all…
YES! I did it see other Posts…

Those musicians are badly needed in any Trooping the Colour ceremonial.
Incidentally as spectators you have the Duke of Wellington, the Emperor of the French N.B. and Admiral Nelson… the only Napoleonic 54MM in my collection.
Enjoy!
