Gordon Highlanders, Sudan 1884-85 from Massimo's own production

Puh, this will be a long post...


Again I got a mail from Massimo which I will simply copy into the blog. So far I bought all his own sets and was very happy with the figures (ok, the Camel Corps was to big to mix with other figures).

You can buy the sets from him directly, they are not in our shop.

So it seems my collection for the Sudan will grow fast:-)

So this was Massimo's mail:

We start with the new set of Gordons

Alabama (he promised me 14th Brooklin will come too soon)

Derwishes - I still have to paint two sets of them

The 42nd in the Sudan (these my friend Krisztian painted for me and I tried the other set myself)

Still lying around - but a great set!

At the moment I can't see Napoleonics, but they will be on the list for future painting. They are other poses than the one we have in the shop. So more variation with both sets together.

This set is a challenge to paint!

And this is one for a future project. But in the end it is just a skirmish...

These guys are great. But my other figures for this subject are Newline 20mm and converted Esci. They do not really fit together.

Now let's see what is comming up from Massimo in the future. I bed more ACW and Scottish in colonial wars:-)

French Chasseurs a Cheval

Massimo is not only sculpting for Hagen, but works for other manufactors too.

Marc Claus asked him for a set of French Chasseur a cheval which will be for sale soon. I thought you might be interested in seeing these masters too

Roman working men

Ingo sculpted a new set of Romans working. As far as I know these figures are for https://www.fredericus-rex.eu/

Nice stuff I think

War of 1812

Accidently I stubled over Zed's blog and saw his posting about the war of 1812.

you can imagine that I was happy to see my own range of India converted into US troops and Canadians. I thought that I also had before, but haven't realized so far.

Take a look here where you see photos like this

There is a great French speaking blog which offers a lot of unformplates for this period

In my collection I have the complete range from SHQ (former Kennington) who offers nice US Sharpshooters and also some infantry in Hat's like mine which they call militia. But I used these figures to create some defenders of the Rio de la Plata in 1807.

So these guys are really useful for a lot of armies.

More colonial Highlanders from Massimo

This time the Gordon Highlanders. These guys are the next set in Massimo's own production. You see his favourite periods are the ACW and British colonials in the 1880ies and 1890ies

Now I am waiting for some enemies. Some Afghans would be nice:-)
