It has been a pleasant Weekend . I have read about Stollen on the Duchy Blog , helped the family make some Christmas decorations and watched some of Barry Lyndon amongst other things.I also finished off some of the Legione Tradgardland. They are jaeger. Notice the unique grey uniform which is worn by the regimental marksman - winner of the annual shooting contest. It is most highly competed for and sought after. I fear the photos are not the best I have taken but at least give a flavour of things painted. Next I will tackle some fusiliers and commanding officer. Back to work tomorrow and seven days to the start of Advent - I can hardly wait....
On Thursday I had a game of DBM - first for ages. My English of Henry v111 were soundly beaten by my regular opponents Swiss. He did not lose a single element whilst I lost too many to mention. Next time I think we shall go for my Early Imperial Romans against his Germans /renegade Romans under Civilis. Now I wonder what the Duchy of Tradgardland was doing in the centuries prior to the !8th Century.....
Thanks for the photos of Legione Tradgardland - the jägers part!

Cool idea of the special gray uniform (kind of like the yellow jersey in the Tour de France).
ReplyDeleteI think you need more light on the minis, maybe daylight or a good reading/hobby lamp or 2. Also, for better focus, you might try putting a little more distance between the camera and the minis if your camera doesn't have a close-up setting or close-up lenses. I set my camera on a book and use the camera's built-in timer to snap the shutter for sharper photos.
In any event, it's always good to see some pics of minis. Thanks!
