Mg08 and crew plus two more staff officers

The two senior German officers are wonderful additions, as are the machine gun crew. Is the officer on the left a dragoon or a Bavarian ?

Judging by the helmet insignia I would go with Prussian dragoon.

Of course ! That's a Prussian eagle helmet plate - Bavaria was one of the German States allowed to display their own plate.

This has real "old school" charm. Congratulations.
Look forward to some pictures of the battles to come.

Might you be able to do a lengthy piece on the process - sources of figures; conversions; sources for spare arms and heads etc ?
All best

Curassier, most of the figures are original britains hollowcast figures, and were badly damaged and paintwork too bad to keep them as they were, there’s a few modern day recasts in there too

For recast figures I use ( they also do spare heads etc

https://www.replicametalsoldiers.co.uk

Heads and arms also from these

http://www.langley-models.co.uk

As for damaged figures, the usual, toy fairs, eBay, flea markets etc

You can get a vast selection of recast figures, heads and arms from

www.dorsetmodelsoldiers.com

And I do happen to have just bought the company from Andy Gibb at Dorset so will be supplying them from now on...

Mike, I will be buying some stuff from you as soon as your up and running! Nice to see Dorset in safe hands once again!

Thanks! Hope to start processing orders once the London Toy Soldier show is out of the way on December 7th ...

Only just stumbled upon this thread. Lovely stuff

Another unit of cavalry, these figures when I got them were wrecked! No legs or tails, holes in the sides, one had a Marlboro fag packet pushed inside as filler!!! These are prussian railway cavalry, I modelled them with carbines, they should also carry lances

Very inspiring.
I'm following this thread with interest and thinking about something similar using Tsuba's Russo-Japanese War range.

Thanks!

More cavalry added above

Very nice indeed. I like the Cuirassiers!
