http://castlesoftin.blogspot.com/2015/03/war-of-spanish-imaginations-45mm-wooden.html
Welcome to my blog, wherein I indulge my fondness for wargaming miniatures. Thursday, March 19, 2015. War of the Spanish Imaginations - 45mm Wooden Flats. No doubt some of you are familiar with Wooden Wars toy soldiers made by the very talented Thomas Foss. as seen on his blog Skull and Crown. The bayonet scabbard is also something I painted on, if it's not good that's on the painter and not the designer. March 19, 2015 at 10:30 AM. They look lovely.Ill follow this with interest! Thanks very much, Hugh&#...

Welcome to my blog, wherein I indulge my fondness for wargaming miniatures. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. War of the Spanish Succession - 30mm Flats. The photo on top and the one below are figures from the WSS staff officers set from Golberg. They closed the shop several years back, not sure what has become of the molds. Here's a set Austrian infantry advancing, Kieler figures. Not every man was in accord with the plan to assault the enemy guns. Thursday, March 19, 2015. When Thomas unveiled a WSS era figure ...

Castles of Tin: November 2014
http://castlesoftin.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog, wherein I indulge my fondness for wargaming miniatures. Friday, November 21, 2014. Old Heinrichsen French - 28mm Flats. First of all they are small:. Nor have even the Germans been entirely consistent in scale over the years. From left to right, old Heinrichsen 28mm and 30mm, Keiler, Rieche Brothers. How do they look when stripped and repainted? And on the plus side, their simplicity and diminutive size makes them the fairly easy to paint. I'm painting them five at a time in assem...

http://castlesoftin.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Welcome to my blog, wherein I indulge my fondness for wargaming miniatures. Friday, February 21, 2014. PA Cavalry Conversion: 40mm Semi-Rounds. And I would have done so but for the lack of sufficient RTV compound. Rather than taking the sensible course of ordering more and waiting, I tried patching the 2nd half, would up cutting extra channels in the original half as a work-around and to sum up, botched the whole thing. So we're a week or two away from seeing this figure actually painted. I've often wish...

http://castlesoftin.blogspot.com/2015/04/french-napoleonic-artillery-40mm-flat.html
Welcome to my blog, wherein I indulge my fondness for wargaming miniatures. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. French Napoleonic Artillery - 40mm Flat. Here's an interesting Heinrichsen flat from set # 4052 -. Schlacht an der Katzbach. The set was initially offered in 1888, dating from what I think was the golden age for Heinrichsen, many great 40mm sets being issued in the 1880's. From the same set, here's another artillery group as yet unpainted, representing the Prussian side. April 28, 2015 at 11:20 AM. The No...

Welcome to my blog, wherein I indulge my fondness for wargaming miniatures. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. SCAD Prussian Cuirassier - 40mm Semi-Flat. Here's a nice mold, SCAD's Napoleonic Prussian cuirassier. Maybe the best deal I've gotten yet on eBay. French eBay in fact, the new mold going for 10 euros with free shipping to the US. Putting myself in the seller's shoes, the transaction can barely have been worth the trouble to pack the mold and drive to the post office. Here's the mold design. I'd rather the...
