@@nordicmaelstrom4714 thank you very much for your messaging me I never know of people like when I put up. But you’re right the brigade was pretty tough. The figure is just unavailable. I had to do a lot of conversions, especially the hussars and Uhland. But I did it I guess. I am onto the Turks now and they’re proving to be just as challenging. But thanks for watching

​@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 You are welcome! I am not familiar enough with the uniforms to comment but the painting was nice. Good luck!

@@nordicmaelstrom4714 I apologize my writing was so riddled with mistakes. I was needing a cup of coffee or multiple 😂😂

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 That is okay because I typo and spell like garbage lol.

@@Corvinuswargaming1444 when’s your next video my friend.

@@FelixstoweFoamForge thank you so very much. I was a little bit afraid of what it would look like having older figures that really nobody wants anymore. You can hardly give them away. But I think that the army organized this way looks nice. I finished the Russians now the Brits, and the French, so the only thing left are the Turks. I really did like the black powder air and the turmoil between 1840 and 1900. But thank you for your comments. Makes me feel great.

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 Mate, you're welcome.

@@wgeffoxdo9719 I agree with you the guard units all kind of stand out and pop. I really like them as well. You’ve got a good eye. But they’re really older figures and painting them most difficult like faces and stuff. I think back in the 70s, they didn’t have a lot of definition, like a lot of figures do today. A good flag and some nice highlights and Presto. They look good.

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 well, aslong as they look good from afar!

@@glenbrooks2269 well if you looked at some of my other tubes from my channel you’ll find I think in one of the playlists the army is that would fight this one. I have every army existing in history. I haven’t put them all up yet, but think most of them are. I’m glad that you liked it. I always love to see good comments and I made them for you guys to just have reference and inspiration.

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 well it worked , job very well done ,

@@koganinja100 thank you Louis. I always enjoy your emails there entertaining and wonderful. I have so many more armies to video and put up sometimes I don’t even know where to begin. I played a great American Civil War game today with My Friend John, the battle of Newmarket in the Shenandoah Valley using Black powder. We’ll finish it up next Saturday. In the meantime this week, I’ll try to put up maybe one more army on video.

Kevin Good luck in your current game. All the best Lewis

@@paulbenson9015 yes I think I’ll do that since I have all of the elements and armies. And maybe do a walk-through.

@@koganinja100 at first I thought you were talking about my new British army movie. I just put up but then I realized it was the Alexandrian. Now I know what you’re talking about this army is massive. I would urge you to watch the other one I made on the diodachi and or successors. that is really super super impressive but it cured me from ever wanting to paint pikes again

Ah Pikes A prickly subject … 😂 Will check out your other video. All the best Kevin Lewis 🙂

@@ZenMiniPainting thank you yes, I have a very large French army actually, it’s way too big and I’ll probably be selling the French part of the Crimean war. I don’t need two armies. I’m working on the Turks now. Should be done with those by next week. But thank you very much for your comments. I was certainly hoping that you saw it and that you liked it. Actually, when I was finished, I thought of dedicating to you just because I know that you’re working on one and I so enjoy your videos.

@@ZenMiniPainting you know if you are ever over on the east coast come see me!

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 I am always on the lookout for an opportunity to head down to Georgia and pay you a visit!

@@paulbrockhurst8397 thanks Paul. I was surprised at the end how nice it looked. I really struggle to get the look with limited resources and not being able to get the figures anymore. I had fun taking old retired collections and making the new again.

@@philRminiatures you always have nice things to say and I appreciate that this one was a tough one I have to say

@@99IronDuke thank you. I keep looking at it and it’s so nice

@@Forge_n_Brush thank you Fritz. I am now starting with the small Turkish contingent trying to find suitable figures for that. I am having to be extremely creative. I probably should do a RUclips on the creativity.😂😂😂

@@buckospiffle594 thank you very much for your comment. I think you grasp the situation 100%. It is exactly as you wrote both Russian Army and the British Army were real tasks in itself. The Turks will be less so and the French I already finished except for maybe a few units. But they turned out very nicely and I’m happy with how it looks. I appreciate your comments more than you know.

@@TheArmchairHistorian oh my gosh, each one is different entirely of how long it takes me if I am by myself with no distractions I can bang out 1000 men army in four weeks if I have to work deal with things and people company, etc., and then it could take me six weeks sometimes longer

@@oldschoolfrp2326 well I’m glad that you like it. I think a good British army on the table always looks very impressive.

@@michaelwedding9077 thanks Michael. The origins from you are in there somewhere 😂😂 it turned out nice huh

@@koganinja100 these are two really massive beautiful armies I have and I really enjoyed the monk portion of the armies. Each one is different with a different play focus I have a very large Korean army that I have not yet finished restoring and remounting for the engine war I was waiting to finish reading the book that I just bought on the conflict. Once I’m done reading then I have a better idea of what I’d like to do. But thank you for your comments as always.

Kevin I was looking at the Redbox brand Korean/Ming troops for that conflict. Box art handy for uniform- shown on Plastic Soldier Review site - site specialising in 1/72 plastic soldiers. Wikipedia has a site for Imjiin war - shows samurai mon of clans in Japanese force including ex eastern and western armies from Sekigahara. Not sure if there are any decent books in English describing Imjin war troops opposing the Japanese forces. I found it amusing that Koreans had a decent general who beat the Japanese in one land battle then someone at court got jealous of him and he lost he’s head they even at one point sacked Admiral Su then had to bring him back. Anyway given they got a few successes on battlefield a Wargame sounds like it could be fun and maybe history could be re written in some equal encounters on the Wargame table and adding Ming troops could add a little colour too. Fascinating conflict. Can’t wait to see your Korean lads when done. All the best from down under Lewis Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

@@koganinja100 OK that was a really funny pun. I do have steaks and all that stuff that I built, but I didn’t put it out because I didn’t think about it because it’s just to rain and not the army but I loved your pun made me laugh.

@@koganinja100 but really if you could see this army in reality, it is absolutely freaking stunning. It took forever to paint it.

@@koganinja100 I have changed my tactics a little. I have started to paint them on the stands they reto be mounted on. Saves me several steps. I’ll keep you posted.

@@koganinja100 I agree. They were more difficult. Won’t do them again for sure.

@@koganinja100 that’s a great question. Sometimes I use black and sometimes I use white. It depends on the army and how colorful they actually were. As you were looking at the Italian wars, I used a black undercoat for these. Because many of them are wearing armor. A black undercoat with a white dry brush and then applied my colors. That is my preferred method. But with my age of rifle army I have started with a white undercoat. Get the right colors of red and blue, etc.. If I think about it everything after 1700 I started with white coats and everything beforeblack undercoat. Geez, I didn’t think I was that exact, but it seems to be the case.

Thanks Kevin I used to use white then I changed to black. Interesting I use black on my moderns and ww2 as well. Must admit colours are brighter on my earlier paint jobs but find black gives a bit of a shading affect and hides any misses in crevices. All the best Lewis

@@ZenMiniPainting after watching your video I knew you were gonna come ask me😂😂

I’ll pull out the colors exactly give me a few minutes when I get back home. I’ll take a picture. But my coats. Some are in the dark gray with light highlights and summer and more of a dirty khaki. I liked the dirty khaki best. Give me a few minutes

@@sirkaapo2178 this is very interesting. I do use my brandenburg and Saxon armies interchangeably into this army. Your right. For later engagements I go more for light mobility. I will look into your comments deeper. But I hope you liked the army nonetheless

Yes, I like how even in the big units every model is detailed, like the animal furs on the backs of the hussars. If you want to learn almost everything I recommend these videos: Polish-Lithuanian army organization (XVI century) / Schwerpunkt ruclips.net/video/tnGSWk6mUig/видео.html Polish-Lithuanian army organization (XVII century) / Schwerpunkt ruclips.net/video/xKQrusKE-P8/видео.html They are mega long, but if you are interested you can listen to them in the background while doing something else.

And also like you said the typical "ethnic" units like Cossacks and Tatars basically existed pretty much unchangingly, some until 1917 in the Russian empire.

@@MinisMyWay oh good I’m glad you like it. I liked it. I kind of forgot I had it to be honest and thought somebody asked me about this particular army if I had one and I thought I did the video before but obviously I didn’t so we have it.

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 My Good, you have so many armies that you can't remember if you've already made the video! 🤯

Btw I just subscribed to your channel. I’ll watch the videos today. Well some of them 😉

@@ncrvako thank you. They are from little big man studios. They are super nice. Thanks for your comments

@@oldschoolfrp2326 yes that’s how this arm is started. I had secondhand figures and then I bought some and then I acquired some and forgot would manufacture they were from, but decided I would do them anyway. I had some leftover party. All kinds of things went into this army.

@@OneofInfinity. thank you very, very much. I wasn’t sure that painting scheme looked all that great. It was a little bit of a artistic maneuver. Something that I learned from a friend of mine who is an oil painter. He painted a couple of them to show me different painting styles, and I went from there.

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 It paid off great.

@@nordicmaelstrom4714 as always I appreciate your comments keeps me motivated. Especially now since I’m painting a British army it’s so tedious.

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 What period British army are you working on? You are quite welcome. I like that you are showing off your miniatures in such a public way. Takes courage to do that. Seeing your miniatures is an inspiration.

@@philRminiatures thanks phil I always appreciate your comments. Yeah I learned how to paint the style which is a really different. It’s like somebody painting, an oil painting like a van Gogh art piece.😂😂

@@vonketteringham thank you very much. Coming from you that always means a lot to me. Do you know if you lived here I’d hire you. I had to clean some windows yesterday and I thought where a heck is Frazier.😂 how’s your new business going? Anyway I hope extremely well.

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 business is going well. Customer list is growing steadily, up to the 140ish mark now. Winter will be interesting but luckily I have always worked outside. Being my own boss is great, no more working for the man!🙂

@@nobody342 they were very difficult that’s why there’s not that many of them compared to my other armies

But thank you for your comment. I really appreciate it.

@@Corvinuswargaming1444 thank you very much

@@Corvinuswargaming1444 you did see my Ottoman army video. Did you not that and the Polish. That’s right up your game enthusiasm. I did 101 videos so far I noticed that number yesterday. I have a Hungarian Russian and medieval armies late medieval armies I haven’t put up yet either. I should do that for you.

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 yes I have seen your Ottoman and Polish army videos, they both look great

@@theplasticcommando7394 thank you I think it turned out beautiful. I haven’t looked at it in many years so was a little bit surprised that it’s beauty once again. I think we should all pull out our old toys and look at them sometimes.

@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 absolutely! I do the same.

@@Scott-Plays-o7 thank you I couldn’t remember where I got all these figures. It was like just a hodgepodge of stuff. I really couldn’t remember so thank you for giving me some historical reference.

@@sirkaapo2178 the French Army is done and on my Channel. That’s already completed. I might add a unit or two but in essence it is a big one.

ruclips.net/video/BBVHP8lmFik/видео.htmlsi=PXsM8B_QlJl_YfrM

@@sirkaapo2178 I sent the link below. Let me know if you got it!

@@MinisMyWay well half of them more the German World War II helmet. Pickelhelm, the other half the Forge cap all of their infantry predominantly were this huge overcoat. The cavalry as well very drab looking army to be honest. The uniforms are a bit different and the color is more of a greenish gray. But in reality, it was only 30 years later, the British army also was not too much just had different hats

@@philRminiatures hey Phil , how are you doing? It’s nice to see comments from you what you’re working on these days

@@michaelwedding9077 you are right it does look a little bit better. I should have mentioned you in my RUclips. I will circle back on the British one.
