Posted on 21 January 202121 January 2021 by GJG

I am making progress every evening. Most basic colors are blocked in. And all cockpits are painted on. Next step will be some detail painting. And some grey undersides. After thar I will give them a gloss varnish and prepare for decalling. Hopefully finishing the first planes next week.

Dutch airforce references

Posted on 20 January 202120 January 2021 by GJG

Most of the colorschemes I am using on the Dutch air force planes, are found on the following site: Jonkerweb The site has a collection with references for modeling, but also includes colorschemes used with the Dutch air forces. Most of the time showing the different variants and deliveries used. It has been very helpfull…

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…

A lot has changed, but still pressing on

Posted on 9 June 2020 by GJG

The last blog is a couple of months back. A few months where a lot has happened. Some things sort of planned, some un-expected. A short summery: being fired, Covid-19 and becomming a father. Luckely the last one is very positive and enjoyable. It only reduces modelling and wargame time 😉 But in between all…

campaign: War of the broken Wills

Posted on 16 January 202016 January 2020 by GJG

The only army which is in a reasonable state to play some games, is the 2mm Napoleonic armies. I want to play some more games this years, and play also some solo. Therefore I have ventured into the realms om Imagination. The basic idea is, to have a simple campaign system, without a lot of…

Assembly of planes

Posted on 13 January 2020 by GJG

This weekend I had planned another attack on the lead pile. Glue-ing the magnets under the planes. There is still a long way to go (probably around 150 planes to go) But the different air forces are slowly growing. The picture of the ww2 era planes did not turn out to be clear, so there…

The Battle of Scherpenzeel

Posted on 10 January 202010 January 2020 by GJG

Last year I have done a lot of reading and searching on the battle of Scherpenzeel and the days leading to this battle. For this moment, I will skip the political landscape, and focus on the scenario I think is most plausible at the moment. The battle of Scherpenzeel was part of the Sticht (Utrecht)…

Geography of a Battlefield – “The origin of the Dutch landscape”

Posted on 9 January 2020 by GJG

The origin of the Dutch landscape In this post I hope to provide a quick overview of the history of the Dutch landscape. The Netherlands before the Roman occupation was partly sand and partly a marchy, swampy peat landscape. The southeastern parts (in light yellow and ochre) is higher and mostly consist of sands. The…
