The Loose Association of Wargamers

I have completed 2 more units for my Zinnfiguren project. First up is an Austrian combined Grenadier unit. These are made up of the old Kieler figures I recently got from ebay. This unit is made up of the Grenadier companies from the Salm and Roth Wurzburg regiments. https://blogger.googleuserconten...

My latest unit. These are the Pálffy Austrian Cuirassiers. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvara2ceUYU40MLm5OFm-WWKEUQ4X7nxShiPUzl-NIBkODwGbs39kUc-annsaaMByN8UmxM5paODXgO5E95PStDvY5N8nMR4AUED7PMl8EqZ02xa2mt3Aa4T26mwHLfnuU-A5OFJqkwOtU14KMD3IEzsZb-OB2iCZcraORB2riVPiDbVfwToOR...

I have added another unit to the Zinnfiguren armies. These chaps are the Mainz Lamberg. I have used Scholtz Austrian figures from Berliner Zinnfiguren. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2asg34pvUXEXxeiI6dGW78Je2yo_-djYdnzsvqztoL3gdBUY2BuwbjDe5rYt4kvXkGfcFhtswlTxq-DFMc0Ca465...

I used to have a few hundred of these hard plastic ones back in the day.

I bought mine from a house in Frimley. I got the address from Charge.

After a consultation, or should that be a therapy session, with the Basemeister, aka EB, I have now confirmed my basing. Infantry on 90 by 40mm with 10 figures, or 8 and a mounted officer and cavalry on 90 by 50 with 5 figures. Bases will have rounded corners and be painted a nice shade of green. On...

My latest ebay recruits. They are 87 old years figures in original packaging. Once I have stripped the paint and painted them they will be as good as new. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVxRtBd9kWV8zPtzt0CqTvyAoBWwAvriFZObOaOfm5V2GBgxxyMsVbJ1Zjp6YsK1vOW_4MvU_nztB3xKp7Zzqy...

I am perhaps fortunate in that I get to game at James Roach house every Wednesday and even better he only lives a mile away. I have not been a member of a club since the 1980s. Clubs are not for me and as Groucho Marx once said 'I dont want to belong to any club that will accept me as member' For ca...

I have completed my latest unit of Zinners - they are the 4th Puttkamer Hussars. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCLVsczhMF8_6_ye01r8AxSq1yJING5JS_rGGyDSS3LoVwxKLrmH371IWfwyL6ngnFF9mNgGYw5imOdJowEMpJEoisvDTN7MZz0LVIVAs06badMT5I4BQ2caNUTuKsj7vYIOIAPapLiy21MmgCrGAI8WQ41A3y9U...
