I have had these miniatures sitting on the painting desk looking impatiently at me for sometime...
So as a little change from WSS I decided to get them done...
First up...
General Rapp (Malchanceux).
This is one of the Giants in Miniature from Wargame illustrated...

I am going to use him as General Malchanceux for my Drums and Shakos games...
I painted this using Contrast colours in the same way as I painted The Duke if Marlborough.
Next up...
Jacob Wolff...

Jacob Wolff (1868 - December 4, 1926).
Wolff was the owner of the cigar factory L. Wolff in Hamburg. Before the First
World War, he was involved in the peace movement and supported them financially.
At the outbreak of World War Wolff volunteered for the Air Force, although he
was released as a major industrialist, from military service. Airplane and
aviation training paid out of pocket, so as not to be rejected because of his
age. In the course of his missions Jacob Wolff scored four confirmed and one
unconfirmed Kills. His superiors repeatedly told the Jewish industrialist to
convert to Christianity in order to increase his chances of promotion. Wolff
always refused, though he never described himself as pious. In 1917 he was
promoted to lieutenant of the Landwehr. Wolff survived the First World War and
died in 1926 as a result of a motorcycle accident.

I also found a link on the internet to a sale of some of Jacob Wolff's belongings.
