Here's a short video of my friend Paul using his newly painted Spanish, aggresively trying to intercept a French Supply Train! This is a small scenario from Michael Hopper's 'Rise of Albion' book on the Peninsula War.

Eastern European Buildings
Week 18 of backlog. For games set in Eastern Europe (East Prussia, Poland, Russia) I wanted some simple buildings of wooden construction to match the typical villages found there during Napoleonic times. I collected this selection from Renedra and Pegasus as a start on this.
Renedra church and barn, theoretically Amercian I think, but pretty generic. Simple modest structures that could be used in many settings.
Possibly I may replace the steeple of the church with an Eastern Orthodox dome if I can find something suitable. E.g. see this conversion of this kit.

Western European Buildings
Week 17 of backlog. This is a selection of resin buildings that I picked up and painted (well 3 of them), mostly in an estate sale of a local wargaming buddy who sadly died over a year ago now.
These buildings will supplement my existing Tabletop Workshop (now Warlord), range of plastic buildings.
I'm not sure of the providence of these two thatched buildings, if someone let's me know I will add the details! (EDIT - thanks for comment from Mark Strachan below, he made the one on the right for Military Miniatures Range approx 1990, now out of production).
I believe this building is from Steve Barber Models German Renaissance range. An impressive structure that takes some patience in painting with all the panels!
Lastly some of this range that was popular in the 2000's but now out of production. They came pre-painted and were a good price. Made from some sort of hard, but relatively brittle resin.
