When Andy put this little gem at our stand for display in Kulmbach I was speechless. Such I think I have never seen before in 1:72. The next was, that I put the whole set of Rüdigers figures in my own bag:-))
See here what I mean. Maybe not only useful for the SYW but with a little conversion for other 18th and 19th century sieges.
Sorry for the very bad photos, I hope to have better ones soon.
For those of you who want to add some more technical aspects in their SYW collection these figures are available at Hagen-miniatures
I have seen another interesting manufactor, Matthias Manske who had them also new at Kulmbach. But these figures here are some 45-50 mm figures from a manufactor who started to make figures in the size of the old Nürnberger Meisterzinn moulds I had in my childhhood. If you are interested in these figures here is his homepage. A nice range, but too big for me. It shows another possibility for using the sappers
Fine looking fellows.
AntwortenLöschenAgreed! I might just need to order some to see how they might fit in with my own armies.
