A week today we travel to Germany for 10 days, part of which will be to visit some of the western theatre that Charles G has documented, including those in his latest book, Volume 7 of Refighting History.
Today is a glorious morning in the north of Scotland, (yes we do get them), so I decided to look out some of the maps which Charles has kindly loaned to me to plan our route.
We are spending 3 nights in Kassel, which is centrally located for the trip, and an ideal base for visiting the battles of Warburg, Corbach and Wilhelmsthal. To add to that will be a visit to the Hessian military museum, which is a short trip from Kassel.
A night at Hamelin will allow us to visit Hastenbeck, and possibly we can squeeze in Vellinghausen.
Before all of that, four days relaxation on the Rhine visiting castles and sampling local hospitality.
Ten days without painting soldiers, can I cope ?
Difficult to find, but well worth the effort and it greatly helps in understanding the battle.
That sounds like a great substitute for painting figures to me. Hope you have an enjoyable holiday and bring us back some great photos for modelling inspiration please
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris I will try. Charles visited in April, so hopefully the weather will be much better for some decent shots.
