My Great Northern War figures by Mini-fig.

Here is what I did a several years ago One regiment from Denmark, one from Sweden and one from Russia. I dug them out today as I think I will get back to doing more of these in the upcoming year. Enjoy!

Denmark



Sweden



Russia

[Peter]

That are some great painted minis, you have there And very colorfull

[musketier]

Thank you Peter, I'll admit I can do better flags now as opposed to then

[Benno]

Very nice! I like any painted GNW fig, no matter what scale.

[Paul]

Nice little armies ...the one thing is the flags...why didn´t you print some out?

[Fenton]

Nice stuff mate..I'd forgotten how nice the old minifugs stuff is

[musketier]

Thanks Benno
Paul, I didn't and still don't have a color printer/scanner
Thanks Fenton these where a newline that Mini-fig came out with about 5-6 years ago I think. I bought them while talking to the president of the US distributer back then. I really got into this period after reading Robrt K Massie's biography of Peter the Great, a good read btw

Hi Musketier,

Bright color is always my favorite! Espcially on such small scale you made all the detail standout! Beautiful! The officer looks perticularly great! I think it is very rewarding when a mass army is finished!

[Bourbaki]

Nice figs as usual from you! You paint very fast!

[musketier]

actually it took me longer to paint the Russians ( about a month of sessions, my sessions=1 hour) than the Swedes. I'd be even faster if I painted every single day as well. Ah I can only dream yes?

Nice figures!, I was very tempted to get some GNW figures, some time back but my pal twisted my arm and we both ended up with NYW armies, which are still in production and will be for some conciderable time.

Thanks, I think personally everyone should have some GNW figures, They are quite easy to do for 18th century figures and the armies really were not that large plus the cavalry to infantry ratio was still quite high. ( and no I didnt forget about the War of the Spanish Succession which are just as easy, well ok the French are a bit tedious but then that usually is the case with French uniforms now isnt it? )

[Bramble15]

Very nice.

[Rowland]

Nice work

[musketier]

Thank you all, I also wanted too add a note about these that I just remembered, these are the first figures I did with the Folk-Art/Palmer low price art store paints. I see I am not the only one who likes how they turned out.

[MABO]

Not my scale, but they are looking very good.

[musketier]

Thanks MABO I have lots more 15mm GNW to do all other periods I had in 15mm are gone now (well ok I still have a ton of WWI but that's for someone else)

[T. Dürrschmidt]

I purchased some of minifigs early renaissance and late medieval figs some years ago. Great stuff. Your´s look very good. For the diorama maker they lack a bit in the number of available poses.

[musketier]

Yes they do lack variety in poses, but for simple bases for war gaming they are very good, though I think Peter Pig's line has better poses and animation but then again they are newer sculpts as opposed to most of the Mini-fig line which are decades old. Well except for this line of GNW they are recent molds,(7-8 years old which is 'new' for Mini-fig) I am happy with all your positive comments Thank you

Nice little army.
