Funny Little Houses

One of the problems with 54mm wargaming is the amount of space that scenery takes up, especially buildings. I was quite taken with the range of Funny Little Houses from TVAG which are made for Funny Little Wars but really don't have space to store them.

The solution is to make them in sections which can be dismantled and stored flat.

The buildings are made by printing but the PDF files onto A4 full-sheet labels on a colour printer. The labels are then stuck onto black 5mm Foamboard and then cut round. I ignore all the tabs used when making them from card and just cut out each wall, etc separately.

The edges and sides of the foamboard are then lined with 5mm magnetic strip, which enables them to "click" together.





This is the completed Large Stone cottage assembled:



and this is it dismantled for storage:



The same with the church:

Up and running again

I've had a few problems with Wordpress recently which have stopped me updating the site but that is now fixed, so hopefully I can catch up on the excitement over the last month or so of my first games of Funny Little Wars and the FLW Centennial Weekend.




This is a taster of Army Red laid out ready for a game.

New Artillery Piece

I have a new artillery piece for the Little Wars Revisited Range:

The intention is to use this as the basis of a firing gun.

First cavalry unit completed

I have finally found the time to cast, construct and paint the first Army Red Cavalry unit.

This is a unit of 12 lancers - they still need their lance pennons adding but otherwise are done.

More Painted Samples

A couple more samples from the new master castings.

German Light infantryman

Turkish infantryman

More examples to follow...

Painted Samples

I have had a chance to quickly paint up a couple of samples from the new master castings.

German infantryman

French infantryman

I am planning on working on the 54mm moulds next week so hope to have the cavalry and the new infantry figures on general release in a week or so.

New Bodies and Heads

I have been having some problems updating this blog so there are some catchups on new releases.

Firstly, some new bodies and heads:

From left to right: Indian, Jager, Bavarian, French, Turkish and German

Lancer and Dragoon

There are also two new infantry bodies:

German and French.

There is also a new Lancer body and arm to hold a lance.
