A nice Scotish army for Culloden 1746

Last week I found this figures for sale on Ebay. The painting is too glossy for my taste, but I liked the ideas
of the conversions and wanted to share the photos with you.

Much more new figures from Hagen-Miniatures

I am glad to say that we were able to conclude some of the figure-projects last week.

Retreat from Russia 1812

Here a few photos of a little diorama Massimo made for another collector.

To be honest the retreat from Russia is not my most favourite subject of the Napoleonic wars, but it surely has its flair. When I see it, I simply remember all the snow I ususally have to push away in winter:-)

For those of you interested in the subject, the Schillings have a range of 1/72 figures in their shop

Just a few more exotic little dioramas

Today I thought what I should show on the blog. In my collection of old photos I found several small dioramas which I made in the last decades.

Here are two from the Kaiserjägermuseum in Innsbruck (Tirol). The first showing a scene from the occupation of Bosnia in 1878 after the Russo-Turkish war

 The second one showing a scene from the war in 1848 Italy (Novarra?)

Here a close-up of the battle painting beside it:

A Russian medieval army from Alex's own collection

A Viking raid I have seen on a model-fair near Munich

A Roman battlefield by Klaus Hinderks

And finally photos from Magenta 1859 - found on another forum, sadly can't remember where..

Some nice conversion ideas here, Napoleonic British as Austrians, see in the last photo front the japanese infantryman as Zouave. While I am not so sure about a Strelitz in this photo.-)

I hope you enjoyed the photos!

Italian colonial Akaris

In Benno's Forum Roberto Casti gabe a link to his Flickr-Archive where he posted great photos of converted figures.

He labelled them Italian colonials WW2, but I think the idea of the conversion is also very useful for 1911 Lybia, the Sanussi-wars and the 1935 war against Ethiopea.

You can see the full series of photos here.

I think I should try it too as you know I like the lesser known colonial wars:-)))

The next step into the Samurai-Range

With all these figures around and the armour often the same Thomas thought about Head-Variatons. So we wanted to try this too.

Here are the first helmets. These fit with Zvezda figures and of course our metals too. I think this gives a lot of possibilities .

Beside this the figure of a Daiymo as command figure with variations too.

And here with the pins how we cast them.

Some nice ladies from Massimo

Our hobbyfriend Richard who already sells some figures in our Hagen-Shop asked Massimo
to sculpt him some new stuff.

Looks like a great party:-)
