I fulfilled my dream of a British Royal wagon train.

 My napolenic French armies have a huge collection of vehicles, thanks to HAT and manufacors like Fine-Scale factory in the old days.

The only British vehicles I had are the RHA limbers from Airfix and two other ones from Minifigs or Hinchcliffe. 

We still discuss, which kind of wagons did the British use in this period. If anybody has a tip, please leave a comment.

So far we found contemporary paintings of several kind of wagons.

My mate Peter and I have a neverending discussion, if this ammunition card was ever used.

Other manufactors made some great ones in 28mm

So in the end, I decided to take some money in my hand and asked "our" painter to produce me this wagon. Theoretically printable up to scale 1:24. But I don't know if there is a printer big enough for it:-)

Here the next 3D-Masters of our SYW/AWI project

When Patrick printed the charging Hessian Musketeers for me, I painted one as Freikorps Wunsch for my Korbitz project and sent him this very bad photo through WhattsApp. In the middle the printed figure, the other two Art-Miniaturen. 

His answer was, he is thinking about changing his own Kolin project, not using the Art-Miniaturen he has, but our own. 

So we decided to create a complete range of SYW figures. We already have the Austrian Hussars and now you may call it as you want, we have new poses for the SYW, AWI, even some armies of the French Revolution.

We start with simple head conversions into Grenadiers

Next is a firing line in proper regular loading poses, all steps to load a musket coveed. These as Musketeers and Grenadiers too. BTW, the Musketeers don't have a mustache. 

I am not sure, if we should produce them as Fusiliers too, but as for the poses, we will add NCO's, Casualties and a color group.

On the top of the pipeline is now the Artillery and SYW Prussian dragoons. Much more to follow.

The good thing with 3D-Files is, you can print them in any scale you want. 

28mm AWI from Ingo

28mm is not my cup of tea as for my diorama projects in my eyes 1/72 is the best scale. And the figures are cheaper...

My friend Ingo sculpted some nice 28mm figures in the past. Now he sent me these photos of a landing party in the AWI.

He will offer these figure for sale on the Dioramica in five weeks. I thought you might be interested in the subject.

Italian Risorgimento 1848 in 28mm figures

As you know Massimo is able to sculpt in al scales.

Mike asked for 28mm Austrians and Sardinians. Here we have now the latest work from Massimo

Austrian Jägers for Italy 1848 and Hungaria 1849.

And an Sardinian Infantry officer as well as  gun-crew

But these figures won't go into the production, they are just conversions for a collector!

New SYW figures from Hagen in 1/72 and also in 28mm

A lot of visitors on this blog come over from TMP. Usually the comments there are "great figures, but wrong scale". Well that is a point of view....

But the good thing is that several collectors who are interested in the system of the own production joint our group and asked for 28mm figures too.

So here are some photos of figures we got in the shop or will soon have there:


Michael sent figures made by Ingo for him years ago. We will expand this range of SYW Austrians in 28mm. These guys are already in the shop

Next will be Prussian infantry made by Massimo. Yes I know the poses are not regular ones, but this is what the hobbyfriend asked for!

But in 1/72 we have new figures made by Denis - and these guys are really great. French infantry for the SYW or FIW.

See the first photo of how they come out from the mould. You have two option of heads, musketeers or grenadiers. The second photo how I assebled them this morning. You see the regular positions from the drillbook.

Denis had done a lot of poses. These are the first to come. He wants to cover the complete French army from this period. Well I gave him a book about the light troops from this period:-)

Here are figures from his collection which he had on display at Mainz last year

You can get these figures here
