Schleswig-Holstein masters!

I think those hussars may well be suitable for French in Italy 1859.

Like these figures very much, apart from the balls on top of the artillery crews spiked helmets...they look rather too large- as if someone had gone along and stuck an orange on each crewmans spike or something. I know they had balls on them to stop accidents when manning the guns but they do look just a tad too large IMHO. Of course painted up it may look different and I appreciate they will need to be sculpted in an exaggerated manner to show up but nevertheless these look a little excessive.

Looking forward to the rest and especially the Danes in their chocolate box, Pippin fort style uniforms.

They thin down quite a bit during moulding, so some things have to be exaggerated on the master to allow for that.  They should be fine after two lots of moulding.

Of course I never said I wouldn't buy any of them! Its a toss up between doing 1st SH War or Monmouth's rebellion first- it depends on which ranges is most advanced when I get to see 'em in the flesh.

We got this bit of kit from the designer today.  We weren't entirely sure what it was, but after a quick Google, we found out that's a rather interesting piece, certainly not something you'd want to get in the way of!

Caliver do a very good book on this period - full of uniform plates and descriptions. Some of the German states infantry look remarkably like Napoleonics as they are still wearing short tailed tunics and Shakos - some bell-topped and some stovepipe. A mixed German force up against Danes would look very impressive.

We've got another load through for these, with figures to cover some of the German States.  

First up though, is a couple of Danish in kepi, in a couple of different poses:



Then we've got the Hanoverians:



The Bavarians:



And the Saxons:



These should fill the German foot codes out nicely!

[Steve J]

Look good to me.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

All look great! However, the BAvarians... Just something about them.

[Leon]

the BAvarians... Just something about them.

Good or bad?  The photo isn't great, I must admit.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I have a hankering for Bavarians - just which war to go for, 1848, 66 or 70?

Or all three 

[GordonY]

Bah, Humbug!!!!

When are we gonna see some new Napoleonic Austrian cavalry?

[Leon]

We've just about finished this range now, aside from another artillery piece, there's nothing left on the list for this one.  This batch takes care of the rest of the German troops:

Brunswickers:



Volunteers:



Hanoverian Dragoons:



Bavarian Chevaulegers:



And also some handy Generals for both sides:

Ooooh  Myyyyy       Keep 'em pumping out there Leon
