OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

A wonderful collection - a real inspiration.
I also followed the link on this thread to Steve Barber's website. Some fantastic scenic items here. It certainly feels as though the hobby has come a long way in the last few years in terms of availability of figures / terrain pieces and quality. A good time to be wargaming methinks.
Well done,
Phil

Gunter, just be careful of your back when you try to lift that lot plus the suspension on your car will be groaning with the strain.

Dear Friends,
As I did this with my Infantry I now do it with my Cavalry
.
So for all who cant be at Derby in October but like to know how they look like when finished I have here a number of pictures of the now finished 7 Regiments of Saxon Cuirssiers before packing them up for the departure on their great Raid
.
All seven Regiments
Leib Regiment
Königin
Kurprinz
Jordan - Somewhat a Fantasy Regiment because no references are in existence
Beust
Steinau
Eichstaedt

That's an impressive looking force Gunter and I wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of it.
Cheers

Thank You Barry and Dave!
I hope they don't only look impressive
I think I have the same feelings as the Saxons had in those days when hearing stories about the Swedes and were going to face them for the first time
Cheers,
Günter

Here are a few pictures of the WIP of the special EIGHT' Regiment
that will hopefully join the Army in Derby..coming down from Scotland
Most of the pictures are older than 2 to 4 weeks but I thought now would be a good time to show them here.
Cheers,
Günter

Günter,
It's an amazing collection and put together so quickly. Looking forward to seeing them up close next week, will there be room for anything else on the table?
Cheers,
Colin

What I'm worried about is those Saxons going a bit 'Biblical' on my Huguenots!
