The Greek war of Independence in the 1820ies

While searching for photos of a new post I came over this little diorama here. I found the photos on Benno's forum some years ago.

A forgotten conflict but you know I like the obscure things:-)

And here a few photos from a book for Children (!!) I found at the Island of Corfu 15 years ago.

The only part of Greek history that is covered with figures in 1/72 are ancients and if you like some Byzantines.

What about the wars of the 1820ies, Greek bataillons in Russian service, 1897 against the Turks and later in the Balkan wars, WW1 and the next Turkish war of the 1920ies? I think there are a lot of interesting sets to produce in the future.

It is going on - British staff Napoleonic wars

Massimo already sculpted a set of the British commanders at Waterloo which is sold through Waterloo 1815.

Now he made for my friend Thomas this new set of British staff officers which will be sold by Hagen.

You see british ADC's, a General of light cavalry and a trooper from the Staff corps.

The masters are already on the way to Germany

Portuguese Infantry 1812

We have a new set in our growing range of Peninsular war figures.

This time it is marching Portuguese infantry. Next in the list will be Cazadores and we also thought about Artillery.

Here the photos which I got this morning from Massimo. I think the Grenadier needs wings with Cords, but beside this a nice advancing group.

An ACW Fort in the west

I found this on Ebay last week. Very nice made, but I don't have the space to store it:-(

African and Indian Oxen in 1/72

For our Zulu-Project we already have a Kral. But what is a Zulu without his cows? So here we have a set of Oxen for the Ulundi diorama.

And for my range of Wellington in India I still need a British artillery team. I wanted more than just a gun, so I thought some Indian oxen for a complete train would be nice too:-)

The indians are my favourites. When completed the Wellington range there would be a lot of other interesting campaigns in India...

An American staff meeting in the AWI

Here another little gem from Thompsomfeld. I like his style of arranging a diorama. And I am in the happy position that I bought his complete range of dioramas:-) So if I do another AWI diorama in the future we will have a lot of this small groups on it.

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!
