New lands aquired

Posted on 15 February 202115 February 2021 by GJG

The terrain mat has been finished. After the second layer, I have drybrushed all the details with a light fleshy color. Then put some variation with a dark brown wash. But used it more like a filter. Creating a very patchy color. Next step was the flocking. A mix different short grasses and some turf…

The airplanes are on hold. I have finished the color blocking and applied the first gloss layer. They are now ready for some decals, but haven’t had any time to continue.

Airforce is growing slowly

Posted on 19 January 202119 January 2021 by GJG

Yesterday and today I have spent some time painting aircraft. This is a slow progress. Every time referencing some photos and choosing what to paint. But it is progress and enjoyable. It will take still significant time to complete everything.

Update

Posted on 18 January 202118 January 2021 by GJG

A small update for last week. I have made some progress and played a game. My father and I have played our second game of chain of command. Knowing the rules better it went more smootly. But we have still some things to learn. The scenario was a village road crossing, trying to be captured…

Shooting Napoleon era Muskets

Posted on 9 January 20219 January 2021 by GJG

Next to wargaming, I also have another hobby. Target shooting. Just before the Covid-19 period I recorded some black powder shooting. It is one of the greatest disciplines to shoot.
