Stan's Armée 1/32 54mm Napoleonic plastic soldiers

  ACW marching set 1 and 2 prototypes  A small and fun commission for HaT Industries that I received mid-June last year.  After a long hiatus, I am back! But where to start? Lets go back to 2020 shortly after my graduation, life was coming at me. I also started using Instagram and felt it was much more accessible and easy to maintain. I was uncertain if anybody besides me and a handful of loyal supporters were reading and enjoying these posts! I hope you all will return!? And if you are reading this, welcome back and I am happy to find you here! When recently someone named Parsifal complimented me about my blog via Instagram,  I felt that spark again...I noticed that even after four years of NOT posting the blog gets views every day and I was surprised by the amount of total views!  In 2022 I got post covid (long COVID,  meaning long-term COVID, chronic fatigue) which not only made life severely more challenging, but it also made painting much more exh...

The other is a ''project'' I started in the spring of this year, mainly one of my first Italeri figures I required I think around 2012/2013. It was in my hometown where I bought a small collection of an army veteran who had various A call to Arms and Italeri ...

So, Where to start...I thought let's do a post a bit differently. I just had my first week back at school, Monday 2nd of Septembre was my first day back to Uni. This year I will finish my bachelor in photography, and after nine years of studying after high school, I am happy when it all will be done! Throughout the last years, I have always been looking for ways to combine my busy school life, relationship and the love for my toy soldiers. Often in the heat of the photography projects, I am okay with shifting the hobby more to the background but after summer and before the summer break I always find it more difficult to shift the hobby to the back. So the past week, the last days of August I started to become a bit nervous for the upcoming year to come, but also I felt like speeding up my paint projects. I have many ''projects'' on the shelve or in boxes that I need to catch up on. Earlier this year I decided that I would not start painting new figures or m...
