After an agreement with the Margrave of Trompenburg these 54mm or 1/32 scale regiments have come into my service.
Regiment Stoorkopf after their long march north. A few repairs to uniforms and bayonets is required. This will be accomplished with paint and varnish
Here they are parading in the shadow of the Alpine Planters. Service will be both alfresco and internal.
The regiment below , Peinwik, are in need of some repairs to their standard which broke on the march. This should be accomplished without much difficulty at all.
Further information about the history of these troops can be found at the blog of their creator-

The men arrived in splendid uniforms which are a credit to Springinsfeld, who raised them originally.
Meanwhile the track was cleared yesterday afternoon and newly purchased batteries got out.
Alas the wheels went round once and stopped for good, so far.
The back light was working and the front lights too. The wiring is fragile involving soldering and l am loath to muck around with it too much.
Hopefully normal service on the PLR will be stored very soon.
Are they Hat with AIP officer? A suggestion regarding repairs is to coat the paint denuded parts with either PVA or Modge Podge before painting and topcoat again with the same. You might put varnish as well after allowing three days for Modge Podge to set. If you do this don't overcoat too thickly or it might obscure detail and the overcoat may not be fully transparent but bubbled. James
ReplyDeleteLovely outdoor parade, the new recruits are very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteGlad the regiments have entered your service. Have fun with them.
ReplyDeleteVery nice figures Alan! I'm sure they'll bring enjoyment to the table top.
ReplyDeleteIf something stops, but it has power it's usually something mechanical. have you checked the chain and prockets? I'm sure you'll have it back in service again.
Your Grace has acquired a fine looking pair of regiments.
