A Command Stand? Already?

Well now, one regiment is completed for the nostalgia driven project, so what could be more natural than to pick up the figures for a Brigade Command stand? There is method in my madness if you will bear with me. After completing the figures for the Livgarde til Fods I had a small window of opportunity for wielding the Brush of Doom before our friends from Adelaide arrived for a visit. Not enough time though for even one base of the next unit queuing in the old Lead Pimple, but enough for these three figures which form the Command stand for the planned Danish infantry brigade. They are from the venerable Wargames Foundry range of course {though they have cast with more buttons than the Livgarde figures!} with the base from Warbases ~

With Pam and Chris with us now there will be an  inevitable hiatus in any hobby activity here in GHQ. Disruption will extend beyond their stay too as the decorators will be in the following week, meaning GHQ will be performing its storehouse role again! More hobby stuff as and when is all that I can say for now...

  4. A nicely configured stand, I like the foot officer, he seems a chatty soul - the Brush of Doom seems well suited to these sculpts.

  6. What a superb looking fellow he is, along with his mate on foot and drummer to beat out the orders. Complete with buttons too, hahaha!!
    They all have to be painted, so the order matters not. Needs must is as good a planner as any other :).
    Enjoy ya Aussie visitors. Hopefully the refurbishment goes smoothly and quickly.
    Best wishes, James

  7. A very fine command stand there David and nicely posed as always:). The drummer in a very different uniform gives a nice visual break too.
