I am guilty of stove piping. I hardly ever venture outside the forum section created for coverage of my favorite Matt TS manufacturer ("FMTSM").

So for like minded forum members, I decided to post some of my recent photos in the more general section for your entertainment and consideration. Background being that most likely I will make an effort of taking photos of other manufacturer's products than those of the FMTSM as well - and where would I post them?

Stovepiping :salute:: - how appropriate and evocative a term. These are superb and the method is just great - how to get the absolute most bang for your buck. Less is more! Superb; well done.

(Invasion of Italy, 1525)

(*) "The standard is the 'Blutfahne' which was carried in the 'forlorn hope' to remind the Landsknechts of the deadly situation in which they found themselves."

Lovely work. Did you repaint those FL Russian Scouts in the ambush scenes?

 

[Andanna]

Thank you for your expression of confidence in my painting abilities. My TS painting results fall into the category "figure with paint on it".

These toy soldiers were sculpted in Russia and mass painted in China. On some of these figures the painting standard is quite high nevertheless.

Hi Andanna,

These are very nice dios congratulations. A special one on how nicely you applied the vegetation to the dios.
A quick question, who makes the barn and stone walls that you have used in the Enemy Already At The Gates?
Are they made of some sturdy material?
Cheers

Thank you for the compliments and Likes.

My photographic skills do not do the Normandy Barn or any of the figures and vehicles justice. The Normandy Barn as well as the corresponding walls were made by Hudson & Allen in 2010. I just recently found this barn for sale.

In addition to selling the Normandy Barn as a standard building, Ken Osen from Hudson & Allen also incorporated it into some of his outstanding and unique dioramas. Here is an example, but if you search under "Barn" on this site you will find more photos of the barn from Ken.

The barn is made of something like foam board and hence sensitive to dents and warping. It is very lightweight of course and can be easily shipped.

As a diorama piece, I can see a lot of good uses.

As Ken said at the time:

"Under the H&A section you will also see the "Normandy" barn and stone walls. These are really useful for everything from the Seven Years War to WWII in Europe."

PS: The barn is also featured in the previous photo of the Westphalians.

Again, than you for your interest in these photos. I enjoy taking them. As a matter of fact, I often buy my figures with their photogenic appeal in mind.

Jacques de Ventadour and Jean I, le Duc de Bourbon, duking it out with Edward of Langley, 2nd Duke of York.​

Jacques de Ventadour was born in 1390 and passed away in 1424 in Battle.

Jean de Bourbon (1381–1434) was captured at the Battle of Agincourt and died a prisoner in London, in spite of the payment of several ransoms, and promises to support the king of England as king of France.

Edward of Langley, 2nd Duke of York, KG (c.1373 – 25 October 1415), was the eldest son of Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York, by his first wife Isabella of Castile, and the grandson of Edward III. He held significant appointments during the reigns of three monarchs Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V, and was slain at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.
