These look great, very nice.

Love the Grenadiers on the flanks of the line, was exactly how I was thinking of doing it when I flirted with the idea of doing GNW at one point, though not to such a high standard of painting!

As to forum section, the lines between painting diaries and photo showcase are pretty blurry so I wouldn't worry too much!

Very nice work, the uniform is cracking, your project is taking shape really well.

Thank you! It's never too late to get this project going!

First artillery unit finished and based (although yet to paint the limber); a Swedish 3-pounder regimental gun.

I tend to put a small black dot in cannon muzzles

Lovely work there and I too put a small black dot at the end of the cannon.

Ah thanks for pointing out, I completely forgot, Looks much better now! Went back and tidied up some excess blue that didn't even see before taking the pictures.

Putting some more pictures in my blog I just started, will mostly be GNW 10mm but occasionally some 15mm wwII stuff.

Nice!

I decided to post this image of the units on the work bench for people to see how the swedish cavalry in tricon(GNS5) and the marlburian Mounted command (MAL13) blends together, and I havent't really seen GNS5 painted up while I researched the range. Maybe it could be useful for someone.

While the Marlburian figures are slightly chonkier than the GNS5 they blend well enough on the base for my standards. I must also say that even if the great nothern war range seems older I absolutely love the dynamic posing, they really catch the swedish cavalry wedge charging with cold steel.
If I could request a standard bearer with a clean flag pole I would be 100% happy with the swedish cavalry range.

You stole what I was about to say.

Crackign work once again .

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Good work there

[collegialhoagie]

Thanks for the kind words

Here's the unit based and finished! I've changed up the basing process a little bit, I was never happy with the stones, I overused them and should probably have bought a finer grain. No I just sprinkle a few of them on the wood glue before I dip the base in the flock. I think it's an improvement.

Östgöta kavalleriregemente
Was a cavalry regiment originally set up in 1636, becoming indelt in 1689 drawing croft soldiers from the province of Östergötland. As part of the royal army it took part in the battles of Kliszow 1702, Warsawa 1705, Holowczyn 1708 and lost to the last man at Poltava. It was reraised and positioned under Lieutenant general Burenskiöld on the swedish left flank in the battle of Helsingborg 1710.

Looking good

Is it just me or does the changed basing process let the figure bases show a bit more
