Figure museum Schmalkalden

 Last week I had a businesstour to Erfurt in Thuringia. Usually when being on tour, I search for museums in the area. This time, I have recognized, I am close to Schmalkalden. 

In 1546-1547 there was the Schmalkaldic War in Germany. I hoped for a opportuniy to find something interesting - and I did:-) 

There is a big museum with a collection of 54mm figures, covering the whole military history of mankind. It somehow reminded me on the house of my friend Alfred - thousands of figures in vitrines:-):-).

See here some of the photos I made

21th door - a Spanish figure museum

Many thanks to Timo, who sent me the stuff for the door today.

Spain is a country, I've never been before. So this is one option for a future hobbytrip with friends.

Timo sent me 289 photos from this museum. I try to put the best here on the blog. Many figures are from Alymer, true 20mm figures. Many other scales are shown too. This museum is for sure a must for me. There are so many photos left, it is good for another post:-)

See here a crossover, mostly ancients.

Another Waterloo-Diorama - from Castelo de Jaca, Spain

Alfred sent me these photos which Yves Martin made in the museum mentioned above.
Of course I want to share them with you all.

Thanks to Yves for them!

I took the big files so that you can zoom the photos to see better details.
