Just out of interest, is the windmill home made and if so, do you have any other pics showing more of it? I fancy having a go at a 6mm version.

I think the windmill is one of the Escenografia Epsilon ones, available from Pendraken - I have one myself. It's quite small and might do for 6mm. Leven Miniatures have a couple of lovely windmills in their range too.

Yes, Escenografia Épsilon. I bought also a few French houses, very nice stuff.

I have two packs of the Escongrafia buildings; they're really good

Nah, I prefer to build my own buildings and terrain. just looking for some inspiration.

Would love to; barely have enough time to paint and game as it is. 

Great work and such nice dioramas for the command stands .

 

Love those. Finished my dragoons only to find I'd put them on the wrong sized stands. What a muffin! fortunately I now base up using PVA so redone, only to discover they were my last bases, so now I have to put another order in.

Ah yes, the base-drought. In the days when I just used artists' mounting board it didn't bother me, but now I'm addicted to laser-cut bases I have to do more re-stocks than Tesco.

By the way, I'm besotted (there's a word you'll probably have to look up!) with the command stands, Javier.  Converting 10mm figures needs a watchmaker's skill, in my opinion.

I've had a go at converting and have found the little double ended tool sold by GW to be very useful. Started painting my converted dismounted dragoons today so hope to post next week.

#Hertsblue. I still use shop display card 1/8"  thick which fortunately is the same thickness as the pre-cut ones. Although I buy some of the smaller square or oblong bases, I normally only buy the circular bases because I haven't mastered the knack of cutting them with a craft knife yet. 

#Leman. Liked the basic conversion pics and looking forward to seeing them painted. I am lucky in that I have a Japanese style modelling saw, several pin vices and a rechargeable Dremel so I've got most conversion projects covered. Unfortunately, not many of them have any use whatsoever for 6mm figures which is what I am currently working through.

For round bases I use either 1 pence / 5€ cent coins for divisional commanders (2 figures), wood oval bases for corps commanders (3 figures) and Renedra plastic 4 cm diameter for Army commanders and 5 cm diameter for Napoleon stand. For anything else I cut my own square bases from 1,5mm fine arts cardboard, I buy 1x1m sheets that is cheap and longs forever.

On conversions, used to do that on 28mm it results to me ridiculous easy on smaller scales. The problem is not do do it, but figure out what exactly do you want to do. The same than the command stands, to design the final composition may well take me more time than painting the figures!

Cheers

My new En Cobertura's terrain features are already home! 60x60cm latex sheets with roads and rivers, already painted. Roads have about 5cm wide (check the regiment marching) and rivers average wide about the same. Perfect size for 10mm, can't wait to use them in my next game!

I just hope to have some time to paint this weekend, I've plans to start the Prussian Guard
