Reinforcements & a question of scale

The Counterpanian Army took delivery of some modern artillery this morning, shipped in through the port of Ebay on the coast-

The proud gunners in action

I also took a photo of some troops beside an Airfix cottage -

I know they are out of scale but I wonder if it might serve well in a "Toy soldier" type game.Tell me what you think.

Counterpania or On the painting desk...

Found these pictures of Swedish uniform designs circa 1902

I thought I would have a go at converting a Prince August chap to the above uniform in order to use against the Counterpanian Army in yesterday's blog-

Prototype with Milliput added,we will see how we go...

On maneuver with the Counterpanian Army...

In Guyleria,in the land of Counterpania,the Counterpanian Army is holding it's annual Maneuvers:

The Glen Campbell Light Infantry (nicknamed The Rhinestones) exercise with some Landwehr.

Sadly out of focus photograph- still getting used to my wife's new camera- not that familiarity gives me any better understanding. I just point focus and shoot!

Infantry train to attack troops with the bayonet whilst their Ensign and Oficer look on...

Artillery open fire with antiquated cannon in the outskirts of a village.

Others fire from a position within the forest.
Figures are 54mm semi-round ,probably Schneider homecasts,photographed in front of a model railway backdrop and a watercolour we have in the house.I have used  normal 25 mm guns ( Front Rank and Spencer Smith) to see how it looks but am interested in using  semi-round guns too. I am pleased with the look and feel of the figures.They don't take up a huge amount of space on the tabletop and have an  old charm about them.I am on the look out for more,possibly moulds too.I think they will give a good "toy soldier" game on the table top...

Update

Thanks for your supportive comments and thanks to Tom for his kind figure offer which I will be delighted to take up- must arrange a time for coffee/handover soon.
A door is opening for me-

I cannot say more at present but I am delighted...

Transitions

A big and important  week lies before me when I go back after the hols tomorrow. Prayers,positive thoughts etc would be appreciated...

Another Tradgardland- part the first.

The Duchy of Tradgardland is place of many conceits-

where good people like Mr & Mrs Norris may be shocked by tittle tattle imparted by a tomte and

 men of learning like the Duke himself may exchange wisdom with the folk of Faery.

Happy New Year etc

Happy New Year to you and yours from all of us in the Duchy of Tradgardland. Family cooking together in the kitchen as I type and a super meal looming soon.
I have a game set up today which I will play later this afternoon-
http://pavilionedinsplendour.blogspot.co.uk/
for pictures.Incidentally I will post all my ancient gaming on this blog this year.

As for the shape of things to come I am currently acquiring these semi round chaps-

to use in some gaming ( along with my semi round warrior braves- see Christmastide post) with either Ross McFarlane's Tin Brigadier rules or Little Wars. Current thoughts for this project is a  country named  Counterpania.
The Duchy of Tradgardland will not be neglected in gaming/painting terms this year I hope.Other than this we will see what happens- game more,have fun with the hobby is the plan.Finally a figure I got for Christmas and painted before breakfast today-

He is to be a hero/general who sells his sword to the highest bidder.I am looking for a name for him- any suggestions?
