GNW (Prince August)

[Argonor]

I actually found my Prince August stuff when sorting out stuff.

I have the marching musketeer mold, complete with the 'label'-drawing

I have been casting Prince August for a while and just melt down old any old wargaming figure I don't want and it seems to work . http://tinsoldieringon.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/40mm%20SYW

Cracking work. Despite running GNW in different scales, we can at least swap uniform details

@Argonor: I seem to have missed you at Horisont, but now I see your new avatar I know what you look like at least.

@Mosstrooper: Lovely blog. I've tried to cast using old miniatures, but I can't seem to get it to Work without the addition of Bismuth. Don't know if I'm doing it wrong.

@Janner. Indeed. It's always nice to get inspiration from Fellow gamers.

I've receivede a lot of old models from Sadomator (is that his LAF nick too?), so I'll be casting some more in the near future. A lot of them are very, very soft, so I guess they contain mostly lead. Maybe I'll mix a Little of them into the pot at a time. I also got an older commander model. My moulds are the new generation Prince August with more details and a bit thicker, but I guess they'll blend anyway.

So far I still haven't painted anything, but maybe I'll find time in the holydays.

First question, no doubt in many:

What colour sashes did Danish officers wear?

[Argonor]

Don't know if you can find anything useful in here:

The naval officers wore a sash in the colours of House Oldenburg (the royal family), red and gold, I would imagine that the same was true for the army officers..?

There's a pic of Peder Wessel (Tordenskjold) , seeming wearing such a sash, a bit down the page here: http://forsvaret.dk/ssg/sotraditioner/danskeuniformer/Pages/default.aspx.

Excellent, thanks Argonor  

Is skærf correct for sash?

[Argonor]

Excellent, thanks Argonor  

Is skærf correct for sash?

Yup, that's the word!

[Jaeger]

7 years later and I've only just begun painting. Now that's a long term project. 

What image host/server do you guys use? I used photobucket back in the days, but 6 dollars a month seems a bit over the top for me.

[Rogerc]

I use Flickr as an image host works well.

[Jaeger]

Thank you. It seems to work.

These look truly excellent! Gott mit uns - for sure.
I have a big spot in my heart for that certain Prince August style (also used in the Mithril line), but it is the paintjob that makes these truly shine!

Now you‘ll have to decide how to base them.

[Jaeger]

Thank you kind sir. 

They will be based on 50mm bases (4 men pr base) and Cavalry 60mm. A bit larger than "normal" Black Powder, but otherwise it will be impossible to change formation.

I'm still waiting for more moulds to finish the unit. An officer and command models for the Cavalry.

[Ockius]

I love the look of those! You've done a great job with the blacklining.

[Jaeger]

Thank you. It's actually "reverse black lining" Start with a black base and paint to the crevises of the miniature. It's a real pain with yellow and red, but somehow it works for me.

I have a drummer and standard finished too:
