Peter Schuchhardt's 3D-Models

 My mate Peter who already "sculpted" some vehicles and guns for Hagen and Blackwatch.

Now Peter started his official shop. So if you want to have your own special product, simply write him and he can fulfill your wishes if he has enough information on it.

And if you don't want a 3d-printed model, but in metal we could cast it.

Peter's shop

Just to show you Peters last work for Blackwatch - French artillery ammunition and equipment wagons.

New figures from Darek

 Darek is very good in sculpting Pancernis. we already casted some for sell in the Hagen Shop. I like these guys, together with the winged hussars I plan a charge on Russian infantry in 1612. 

I would say another obscure diorma idea:-) 

Beside the Pancernis he also made some conversions of Thracian warriors. Very useful too, as in my collection I have a lot of HAT figures. Some more poses would bring more life into the units.

The project after Fröschwiler will be The "Düppeler Schanzen" 1864

 The first war of Bismarck's wars of German Unifictation was against Danmark in 1864. Here the Austrians fought on the Prussian side (while in 1866 it was their part to stood in the way).

The most famos battle of this war was the Prussian charge on the Danish redoubt at Düppel.

Read Wikipedia to learn something more about it. 

Or simple enjoy the TV-Series and the music:-)



In 1864 the Prussian infantry wore no helmets, so we have made head-conversions of the Blackwatch 1866-1871 infantry, which is only available on request.

Massimo already sculpted the first set of Danish infantry. Also the Prussian artillery is available now, I just wait for Patricks photos to put them in the shop:-)

Charging Prussians 1870/71

 Our Hobbyfriend Michael Remmers sent me photos of our Set of Prussian infantry.  A nice little vignette. But who is the enemy the are charging? :-) 







In 2016 I visited the 150th Aniversay celebrations of the battle of Königgrätz. We wandered the complete battlefield.  Interesting is the "battery of the death". The advance of the Austrian infantry opened the flank of their artillery and the Prussians took the advantage and charged in the gap.

The result was

Some new figures at Blackwatch miniatures

 After some month at which we had to organize the shop, starting an Ebay-account, paying our Spanish caster etc. etc. we are finally able to offer some new sets.


WSS Bavarian mounted Grenadiers for my Schellenberg project





Portuguese Cazzadores 1810-1814 - for my Vittoria project. After I was able to buy the complete collection of a late hobbyfriend there are now thousands of British and French units in my collection. Now I have to paint Portuguese and Josephinos. at least something different:-) 





And finally a great set for our Franco-Prussian war range.  First now the artillerytrain, the crews with the guns are already on the way from our caster.





  Of course all available in our shop .-)
