Viking Priest with Runes

but I am sure they can be used as Germans too...

This is a new set Andy himself asked Massimo to make and which is available in the shop

30YW artillery

My hobbyfriend Rainer sent these photos over. He is working on several 30YW dioramas for his local museum. He was the one who ordered the 30YW Civilians we now have in the shop too.

Here one of his vignettes - The good old Artillery set from Revell which I used in bigger numbers for our Rocroy diorama too.

The Ming Emperors bodyguard

Thomas with his never ending range of the Samurai invasion of Korea sent photos of the latest master Phersu sculpted for him.

This time we have the bodyguard of the Emperor. Thomas told me they also fought in the campaign against the Japanese invaders.

When Thomas started with the subject I thought to get 10-20 masters and nobody would be interested in the range. Now we have far more than 100 different figures and this made it popular with collectors. Japanese to fight something different than other Japanese.

And as I know Thomas it will go on this way...

Seeing these guys I remember some old Garrison Chinese in my collection which have nearly the same headgear.

2nd Afghan war

Two years ago our hobbyfriend Jaques from South America showed some of his great conversions for the 2nd Afghan war on Bennos Forum.

As Colonial wars are my favorite subjects I safed all his photos in my collection. A diorama of this war would really be something colorful in the future.

Three days gone and the next master - British rifles

But as we already have a complete set of Rifles in the shop this time just one figure - the famos "Plunket shot".

The back or supine position (sometimes referred to as the Creedmoor position) was known at the end of the 18th century

Every three days a new set at the moment:-) And again more Russians

It is really impressing to see how fast Massimo works at the moment. I still have a pipeline of nearly 50 sets for him to make and every month a few more collectors join our group with their wishes.

For me it is surprising that over 90% of the wishlist is about the Napoleonic period. Because of this I will go myself into other subjects after finishing the Turkish army.

But for the Napoleonic collectors this is of course good news. At the moment we are working on three ranges:

French Revolution
Peninsular war
Campaign in Russian 1812

Beside this Pieter told me he wants to complete his Dutch/Belgian army for Waterloo.

Here is the next set for 1812 - A Russian infantry command in "Action-Poses".

Russian infantry reservists 1812

After the battle of Maloyaroslavets French reports mentioned a lot of Russian casualties in grey uniforms.

These were soldiers from the Reserve units which have not been able to get the regular green Russian uniform in time.

We thought these are units still missing in a Russian army of this period.

Take a look at their uniforms

And here our set for a marching attack

The second from the left was changed to the single figure in the second row of photos. Looks much better now.
