French all purpose cart is coming to us.

I'm happy to present you with Niels latest modell.

A french al purpose cart with baggage and a small deployable forge.

And then there's this painted sledge:

And a single Samurai for Don Curt

More Engineers

Soon a new cart will see day-light, and I took myself the freedom to get this set painted already.

Niels was toying with the Engineer masters and did a few remarkable things. The miniatures are not exactly of Pauls quality, but everything blurs away with a bit of paint! The new Mineurs will also only cost 75p per miniature.

Tactica ante portas

The Hamburger Tactica is by far Germanys biggest wargaming/TT convention.

The event is well known and respected for the consistent high quality and friendly atmosphere.

Westfalias limited product-palette will be available on a booth that we share with the 7yw-ranges from Dreispitz and BlackHussar. Yet the booth is organaized by the gents from Hamburg, so you may want to leave a note / send an email if you want to say hi to the faces behind Westfalia.

We also have some Tactica only limited free goodie for everybody who picks up a product of ours.

Looking forward to meet y'all there.

The Prussian barrel-cart

Niels was working on another obscure asset for our growing 1813 range. 

A prussian barrel-cart meant to transport nothing less but the ever so important h2o.

The barrel will be most likely made of resin.

 

Then there's this very common forge that was transported on a French Leiterwagen which is also part of the list.

I really dig this cart, and I hope to release it this month,

Meine Jaeger

I finally found the time to paint a small group of miniatures. Again I highly recommend the Andrea color-sets. I used the Green, White and Black-set with these miniatures and I'm happy with the result.

I also intend to enter them into Curts competition over at analogue hobbies.

New wave of carts

I promise that the next post will contain some painted miniatures again, but this time a few images rather unusual carts for Prussia and France reached me and I meant to share these.

the French Genie cart and crane. Perfect for lifting cannon-barrells and to work beside Pontoniers.

Water-cart from Prussia. Note that the image shows an old attempt from 2007 in 1/72

Prussian baggage Wagon.  Another great entry for our Kolonnentrain-collection.

More pictures over at the Westfalia Miniatures work-bench.

Thank you for having a look,

3rd annual analogue hobbies painting challenge is a pretty damn long title :-)

Curt kindly invited me and here I am!

I wouldn't expect to win as I rarely paint "en masse", but I enjoy the remote competition as it really helps me to get a few miniatures done! Huzzah!

With this in mind - witness the horrible disorder that is my ad-hoc painting environment!

Somewhere in there is a fresh Saxon battalion that I paint and intend to sell once it's done.

Have a close look, there's Curts Samurai in front of the bottle-rack.

Then I got sidetracked and started my own Jaegers. Mostly because a certain someone was sending me the new Andrea green-palette and I had to try it since Im a great fan of their black and white palettes.

I'll take myself the freedom to paint one of the Sleigh-masters with some modified miniatures. I hope this one will make it into the competition!
The model too on it's way to the Griffins. And believe it or not, the Ambulance too...

Work starts soon again, and I rather finish the current miniatures in the queue to a pleasant standart than rushing them to score some extra-points. Shame the number of layers of paint applied isn't part of that scoring system ;--)

Thanks Curt for hosting that comp!
