Regiment Lorraine in 10mm
I finished Louis XIV’s Regiment Lorraine in 10mm scale. I used 32 figures from the excellent Pendraken League of Augsburg range, my first choice for the army of the Sun King.

This is a video of a small diorama set up with the terrain and figures we use for our 10 mm Longstreet games. Please enjoy and leave your comments below.
This is a list of the uniform colours of Spanish Militia and Provincial Grenadier battalions in May 1808. It is based on a scan of a primary document I found on the website of the Ciudad Real tourist board, and I have translated (imperfectly, I’m sure) the main table here. Most of the battalions are dressed (at least temporarily) in brown …
The church of Oravainen was build in 1795-1797. It is a wooden cross-church with an octagon center tower ending on a cupola. The main entrance has Doric (Greek) style columns. The column effect has been modelled in the upper part of the tower with wood paneling. Simpler paneling has been used for decoration on the walls and corners. There is …
As the selected battles of the Russo-Swedish War were reconstructed on custom boards, it was only natural to also have some local landmark standing on the board – even if it wasn’t actually involved in the battle. Churches are often good such landmarks, them being unique and big. Therefore for the Battle of Lapua, the church of Lapua was to …
These bigger bases are used to line out a build-up area on the gaming table, so they may, depending on the scale, represent more buildings than there are models on that base. Here we have four yard-bases. Each base has a slot for a house, large utility building and a small utility building. This makes the buildings interchangeable between bases. …
Painting old Finnish buildings is quite straightforward; red or grey in most cases. Practically all utility building were left unpainted, the wood would turn grey in a few years and over the years it would gather some brown hues on it. This building might as well be yellow, but as it presents a real world building, which is red, then …
I’ve seen some excellent pictures online of the models people have created for IED and objective markers for Force on Force. This is my first attempt. We play Force on Force with 20 mm figures, so I used some 1/72 diorama accessories I had lying around (perhaps from Fujimi) and HO scale crates, bags and wheelbarrows from a Preiser model …
Old pictures of extremely embarassing quality that Aksu uploaded here…
For the gentleman gamer who does not want to use spray varnish, I can heartily recommend Winsor & Newton acrylic matt varnish. I’ve never had any “white residue” problems with it, even if I have used it quite liberally on the figures that have been painted with Vallejo acrylics. I’ve recently started to use Army painter dips (brushing it on), …
