The siege of Fort William Henry

After the Culloden diorama Stefan sent me photos of one of his earlier works. Thanks to James Fenimore Cooper one of the sieges/battles that nearly every child 30 years ago knew. With todays teenagers I am not so sure:-)

Ok, not always the right uniforms in the units, but it lookslike great fun and I like the wood with the stones.

Pancho Villa figures available soon

Here is Massimo's latest work which he made for my friend Markus Schenk. Another interesting subject for a diorama or wargame.

For this figures he got some photos of 54mm figures instead of paintings and he was able to work after them. In the meantime I am informed that the photos were from Steve Westons figures. So if you are intersted in 54mm figures, take a look here:  http://plasticsoldiers.co.uk/index.php/manufacturer/weston-toy-co/

More figures for the Mexican revolution are available from Spencer Smith and Raventhorpe in 1/72. For the US the old Airfix WW1 Americans could be used too.

Now we have to think about a train, breaking in the Federals fortress:-)))

Battle of Leuthen in flats

Here the photos from a flat figure diorama I made in the Plassenburg museum in Kulmbach this year in August.

Still great to see what units are available in other scales. Hopefully we have this in 1/72 in the future too.

 Well, this kind of carriage we already have in 1/72 :-))

See our shop for it

 Hopefully the HAT SYW Prussians will arrive soon to create such a advancing line.

 And what we are still missing are proper Austrian line. The old Revell are nice, but too less poses. No real good metals available and resin is simply not useful for such big dioramas.

Borderers painted by Rainer Stephan

This morning Rainer sent me over this photos from the group of Borderers which he got from our shop

See here his painted ones

And here are the finished Prussian lancers

I am always impressed to see how fast Massimo can work in this quality. Here are the finished
Prussian lancers for the campaign of 1807 as you have seen two postings ago.
