A long time ago I decided to put every 18th Century building that I owned onto my game table so that I could see what they looked like en masse, thereby creating the town of Altefritzenburg. Most of the buildings were made by either Herb Gundt or Ian Weekley (remember Ian?). The civilians were a potpourri of figures that I acquired from hither and yon over the years, but included a number of Minden Miniatures civilians.

It is a cold and rainy day today, the last day in January 2025, and we are another month closer to Spring. It warms one's soul to escape into some nice pictures on Der Alte Fritz's war game table. At least this tonic works for me.

Great photos, so many lovely little vignettes going on, a real inspiration.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful collection of buildings and scenes, but I wouldn't tangle with the Bucket Woman!
