@Helionbooks just released this beauty. The best army of its time. I hope we can find a fraction of their determination on Saturday! #greatnorthernwar
Final push on the mat, some varnish on the river, some Grass on the road and building inspection done. Just need to add a lot of trees and Soldiers at Joy of Six. #jos2018 #greatnorthernwar just need to do some bridges and we are good to battle!
Next step is to try the built-up areas. Some tufts I had for ages became useful to add some colour. #horka1708 #greatnorthernwar
That is the Horka 1708 field of battle more or less complete, dark green parts to be full of trees and Brown parts with buildings but that is for another day. Some detailing on the river (in wargamer blue) and the roads. Good enough for a game! 12 by 5 feet. #greatnorthernwar
Getting another section to stage 4! Feels like a small victory! The lawnmover is waiting so I am going slow! #greatnorthernwar #help
Mat is getting better, but doing small stints so slow progress! Summer and so many alternative things to do! #greatnorthernwar #hemeansbeer
Next layers of drybrushing - need some beer and a break before detailing rivers and roads! Final stage is the (ec)static Grass and some varnish on the river sections! Hard but enjoyable, but I rather paint figures! #greatnorthernwar
Step one of the mat completed, looks literary like I have spread out some shit at this stage! Luckily it isn’t! Perhaps nutella is a better example? #greatnorthernwar #notalwaysglamour
Pulling the finger out as it is time to crack on with the field of battle for Horka 1708, to be presented at Joy of Six in July. Some detailed planning and checking some materials. 12 x 5 feet mat with "built-in" features is the idea - at least for now. hey ho.. #greatnorthernwar
Link to the latest blog here rollaone.com/2018/05/12/the-russian-a... Showing the completed huge Russian army for this years GNW project in a fair few pictures and some 1/600 aircraft too. Hope you enjoy it! #Baccus6mm #greatnorthernwar
Swedish Infantry (GNW) done for Joy of Six 2018. Half of the force are new ones the others recycled from earlier projects #baccus6mm #greatnorthernwar #recycling
Trying out some very narrow battalion Gun bases (15mm frontage Instead of the normal 30mm) to eventuelly show the Russian line at Poltava. That looks more in line with the narrative #tellastory #baccus6mm #greatnorthernwar
Another blogpost regarding the Horka 1708 project and this time the completion of the Russian Infantry. And some more Mutant 1984 thoughts! #baccus6mm #6mm #Mutant1994 #greatnorthernwar More here rollaone.com/2018/04/03/horka-1708-up...
Updated the blog with another batch of Great Northern War Swedish Horse for Horka 1708 and my Mutant 1984 project is slowly getting there too. More here rollaone.com/2018/03/04/pushing-forwa... #mutant1984 #greatnorthernwar
