Thanks all. The Eagles of Empires minis are a joy to paint.

I suspect the way this is going you'll be wanting a bridging train as well as some siege artillery at some point. Everyone loves a beeg gun and a pontoon bridge.

 lol Quite probably, though at the mo I don’t have any rivers wide enough to justify a pontoon bridge.  :D

A slightly different update, simply to flag that I have started a blog for this Before & After Dorking project.

https://badorking.blogspot.com/

While this thread is my somewhat haphazardly accumulating plog, the blog will be my repository for finished - rather than WIP - content.

Ooh bicycles,  those lazer cut mdf whotsits don't look half bad Steve.

They could easily see double use for a bike race mini game ;)

Thanks Nick. Next up will be adding the completed British units, then I’ll be up to date and can get back to painting.

Re: SI’s Dorking 1875: UD 30/12 Bavarian Felde MG Progress

A belated thank you :)

Not much physical progress in the last few weeks but I have made advances on the digital front, including more material added to the blog and drafting up of the Bavarian Feldle machine gun.

It’s not all my own work, as I started with a paid-for STL of a Nordenfeldt. It’s quite a simple drawing, so I might embellish it some what in due course.









It’s not going to be 100% as I was working off a few photos rather than plans, but with a seated soldier I’m hoping it will look the part.

Looks the business, but let’s see how it performs on the table… when will it jam?  lol
