A couple of boxes have arrived recently with 5 regiments of Great Northern War Swedes- from Warfare Miniatures and a packet of gun crew. These are the last of my GNW figures to finish off the Swedes.
And yes I still blame Barry Hilton- it's not enough that he sells me the figures but the relevant books as well. The man just keeps feeding my addiction. ( Thanks Barry!)
Russians are ready. Ottomans are ready.
Now I just have to finish off the Swedes. 5 Infantry Regiments to go: the first unit is undercoated and ready to go!

Undercoated- first regiment to get started on.

The other four packets and the gun crew.

| The gun crews. |
 |
| what's this? Damn it- the swords for the unit that I already undercoated- I forgot to glue them on.... |
too damned impatient to get started.
 |
| The rest of the Swedes waiting for the last five regiments... |
 |
| The Russians...also waiting. |

Russians and Swedes on the top shelf. Swedes on the middle shelf, Ottomans on the bottom.
There's a lot more Russians in a couple of boxes too. |
This is a beautiful army, John. GNW seems to be an up-and-coming period. Keith, over at http://1808534.blogspot.com/ is building up a Swedish army as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan- it's nearly done. I will have a look at Keith's blog!
DeleteWow that s a lovely collection John....and now I realise why you have suddenly visited my blog and commented on my own efforts in this area!
ReplyDeleteYes- I like your army- it gives me inspiration for working on mine!
DeleteNice work. Gotta agree, Barry's a bad bad man.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray- yes he is- feeds my addiction, keeps me broke and stuck at my painting desk.
DeleteJohn the Russians already looked great and now these are going to be wonderful all on the tabletop.
