Hello,
Are there any plans for the creation of a First Schleswig-Holstein War, 1848 in 28mm?
Thank you
-
Hey mate not sure if you have seen them.but eureka miniatures so a small range for ithttps://www.eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_126_875&sort=3a (https://www.eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_126_875&sort=3a)

If you want to consider other scales then Pendraken do a big range in 10mm (some 35 packs)

Yes, there was an announcement about that a while back in this forum. I will see if I can find a link

I just saw that you already have been there :)

Thank you

I'm currently working on a 28mm 1848 Schleswig range. I have currently 6 poses completed of advancing figures 2 in shako, kepi and field cap in production moulds. I'm currently having the designer completing a command group and 4 artillery crew figures.
I will cover the first few months of the war first by completing figures for both sides.
I plan to cover the full range this will be a slow process as I'm doing it for myself, I have had a couple of people interested in purchasing the figures, it is not a company producing the figures just me as an individual. As I get pictures/progress I will post on this website.

Interesting project Dave, look forward to where this goes. :)

More on the way, just finalising two figures for the firing line and planning the start of the livgarden. thanks for the quirky info
Dave

Are we looking to Northstar for the artillery piece for these artillerymen?
Thank you.

Thank you.
No I'm doing my own artillery and limbers to go with the figures.
Dave
-
Thank you Dave, sounds great.
-
Just recieved the masters for the Prussian field guns 6pdr, 12pdr and 7pdr howitzer
-
those great look .
-
Unfortunately no pictures, just recieved the firing line for the Danes - 1 in shako firing and 1 in field cap loading, if I may say myself beautiful figures. Master dollies completed for the Guard. Currently moulding the figures as I post in master mould. :)
Dave
-
can;t wait. Also hoping you will do Mtd. officers.
-
Picture of the firing line, quickly taken with phone. Info and dollies sent to designer for the Jagers and Life guard.
Dave
-
can;t wait. Also hoping you will do Mtd. officers.
Once the foot, cavalry and artillery are done.
Dave
-
thanx Dave everything looks great.
-
Nice work Dave on the Danish firing and loading from you sculptor.
-
Looking good, you're cracking on with these!
-
Cheers all
At the moment getting 1/2 finished dollies for the Guard and jagers, it took time and alot of help to get the correct bearskin. Whilst thts being done I'm getting some figures completed for the SH troops in fatigue/shell jacket. For the Prussians a 3D/sculpted advancing figure.
Dave
-
This looks promising! Any chance we will see some separate heads for conversions? It would be great to be able to have some head variants on the troops ;)
-
At this moment unlikely as I'm funding this out of my own pocket, its a personal project for myself. Its very unlikely to be a commercial range.
Dave

I've changed the head on the drummer to shako, I'll do the same with the firing line.
Dave
-
Just recieved masters of the Jagers and Guard dolly's. Conversions and head swops on firing line and command for different head gear and coat tails cut off for SH troops and command. Pictures to follow later this comimg week.
Dave
-
Excellent, look forward to seeing those.
-
good job.
-
Pics attached
3 of the completed jagers and 2 Guard dollies.

Update
The figures have been master moulded and have gone back to the designer
I have nearly completed the Jagers officer and two advancing figures awaiting the firing and bugler figures, will receive also in the next batch the life guard 6 figures - command set and 3 foot figures.
I've done head swops on the Danish firing line shako's and field cap's, and converted the current figures to shell jackets for SH troops
preparation work will be also underway on the dragoons - this will be command officer and bugler, troopers with carbine and sword.
Dave
-
Ausgezeigtnet!..They look wonderful....
-
Well done. This project's fair cracking on. Figures look great.
-
Hi
Latest news are the Guard and the extra figures for the Jagers. It will slow down as I know start moulding the figures.
It will be two figures to help me fill a master mould jager carrying company flag and ? possibly a Danish volunteer.
Dave
-
Looking good..Danish volumteer or Schleswig Volunteer would be great.
-

The SH volunteers will be later once the cavalry has been completed, horses are done, flintlock carbine and head in helmet dolly completed.
Dave
-
cool......
-
Latest masters :-
jager standard bearer and danish volunteer
-
I'm busy doing production moulds for the firing lines in field cap and shako, jagers and life guard.
Attached are examples of Prussian infantry advancing in helmet and field cap.
Dave
-
Nice. Good representation of the early helmet too.
-
Perfect I can finish my Schleswigers to fill out my old "Waterloo to Mons ": figures...who sadly the owner of the company,got injured then sold the moulds..to never be used again.. Yours are very nicely sculpted..
-
Thanks for the comments on the Prussians, I've decided for the Danes (and SH) to do a gun yawl (small gunboat) it will be 180mm long.
Working on cavalry at the moment
-
very nice.
-
Latest masters - SH artillery crew and extra foot poses to go with existing figures, Danish dragoon dollies.
Dave
-
Wonderful.
-
I don't know if this is any use to any of you but Eagles of empire miniatures have released Danish infantry for the First Schleswig war here;
https://www.eaglesofempire.com/product-page/early-danish-infantry
I don't know anything about their figures myself so would be interested in what other people think of them?
-
Hi All
Moulded the Prussian advancing figures, lovely figures. Planning the command next. This week will mould the SH advancing, firing line and artillery crews.
Back to the designer are the Danish dragoons for completing and the two remaining figures for the danish volunteers. It will be a toss up between the freikorp or the Hannoverians ( prep work done for starting - shako, musket and backpack).
Dave
-
ps just to clarify I've production moulded the danish line in shako and field cap in advancing and firing line, jagers, life guard and artillery crews. For the Prussians advancing. busy painting up units 3 line done and 1 jager.
Added painted pictures - average painter!!!!
Dave
-
Very nice, I like the uniforms of the jagers.

You're right by the looks of it. Must admit I know very little on the period, would there be a reason for that?
Lovely figures you've done btw :D

None no, all danish infantry carried percussion cap muskets or rifles, the only troops to carry a flintlock was the cavalry but that changed to percussion cap fairly quickly. Some of the SH friekorp foot will have carried flintlocks - personal weapons etc.
Dave
-
Just recieved masters for the Dragoons and officer and foot figure to complete the danish volunteers.
Dave
-
wonderful work.
-
Next will be the SH volunteers - Friekorp units, a larger batch this time approx 13 masters togive enough variety to mix and match, with xmas end of january. I've moulded the SH foot - advancing, firing line, command and jagers. I have the cavalry dolly for the SH.
Dave
-
Latest painted figures
Prussian unit and Danish dragoons
-
Love those Prussians and liking the Danes too.
-
Latest masters, friekorp troops for the SH side, there are lots covering different dress types.
Dave
-
very nicely done.would also work for William Walkers rifle brigade in 1855 Nicaraugua.
-
These will defenitely be on my "to do list"
Keep up the good work
-
I've done some conversions myself for the Hannoverians, approx 10 altogether. Just master moulded the Friekorp. Pictures of the conversions excuse the painting
Dave
-
I've moulded the friekorp troops and brocklow's jagers. I'm currently converting some danish uniformed dollies to SH troops in civilian hats and cut down equipment, will paint the red coats black.
Dave
-
This picture will open?
-
The picture opened for me Dave, looking good as well! :)
-
Awaiting the next batch of masters, SH cavalry in shell jacket and helmet and Baden troops in greatcoat (off time line but fancied a change). Then it will be back to Hannoverians infantry line and light, cavalry and artillery crews.
Dave
-
Latest masters
Baden troops in greatcoat, since picture I've added a peak to the rear of the shako, German dollies for the german states and Holstien dragoons in shell jacket.
-
This is going to be an extensive range!
-
This is going to be an extensive range!
It will take time, to finish 1848 I have Hanoverians, Oldenburg, Mecklenburg, Brunswickers and Prussians to do before hitting all the states and uniform changes for 1849.
Dave
-
The picture attached is conversions for a Holstein unit wearing mixed civilian and military equipment for when they ran out of clothing, some I'll paint with dyed black coats mixed with the red coats. I feel like Victor frankenstein the way I've built the figures with different heads, arm and torso!!!
Dave
-
I just ran across this thread - really amazing. I have been working on doing conversions in 28mm for the 1st Schleswig-Holstein War for about 3 years, and this coming Wednesday is my first actual game!
Dave Pen: do you have any interest in letting other people get ahold of these figures? I am very interested in both this conflict and in the Baden revolution, which you mentioned.
Beautiful work!
Cheers,
A. Gregory
-
Just a quick update, this week I've moulded the SH cavalry in shell jacket with a mix of helmet and field cap and the baden infantry in greatcoat.
At the end of the month will be the Hannoverians
Latest painted figures Baden at the back.
Dave
-
Latest figures for the line and light units of the hanoverians and backpacks ready for the German states.

Hi
Attached word doc showing latest masters of Prussian firing and loading in picklehaube, I'm also doing the same figure in feldmutz.
Dave
-
Nice, have these been designed for printing ?
-
Yep, I'm printing them this weekend.
-
Here's a picture(s) of the latest masters ready for moulding next week - Hanoverian artillery crew, dragoon dolly and head, Baden revolt line and command in tunic (a bit of divergence there) and head dollies for future use - Saxe Gotha and Bavarian.
Dave
-
Very nice.
-
Thanks for the comment, moulded the latest batch and I've sent back to the designer dollies for doing the Holstein troops in Prussian style uniform in feldmutz and completing the Hanoverian dragoons. I've also sent back the masters of the Baden line in tunic to convert the heads to field cap (looks like a tall kepi without the peak) I low temp moulded the figures to ensure they survived the moulding process. As well I've sent back the heads of the Saxe Coburg Gotha to do the greatcoat unit. After that it will be on to the Mecklenburgers.
ps asked designer to do the espignol, the small version used in 1848 with separate single and 3 barrel variants detachable barrels for the barricades and house windows.
Dave
-
Just received the Danish guns today
-
The guns assembled, should have the espignol early next week.
Dave
-
Espignol divisions has now been moulded.
Dave
-
Latest masters
Saxe Coburg Gotha foot and command in greatcoat
Hanoverian dragoons including command
Baden troops in tailed coat and field cap (kepi style)
Schleswig Holstein troops in Prussian style uniform
Dave
-
So impressive.
-
Latest is a head swop to give the Baden troops in greatcoat the kepi.
Dave
-
Latest info, the following will be with me shortly expanding the Prussians
-
Those are VERY nice.
-
Crew for the espignol and separate figure firing from defensive position. Working next on the mecklenburg troops.
Dave
-
very nice.
-
I've been moulding like mad to get the latest figures into production mould and I've been slightly side tracked with a gunboat 3d printed this is Mk2 version, mark 3 is similar with a little tidying up.
Dave
-
For extra info the boat is 180mm long and 50mm wide, currently working on masts furled, already done a bundle of oars. Sending masters back to designer to do the first of the Mecklenburg line.
Dave
-
Might have missed this, but where will these excellent figures be available? ???
-
Hi
Some of the Danes that I've painted so far, expecting Mecklenburg line figures next these will be followed by a diversion to do a naval crew for the gun yawls (I've had a couple 3D printed), and then back to the grenadier figures, light troops etc.
Dave
-
look great
-
Dave,
Will these figures be commercially available?
-
look great
Cheers makes me want to get more and more done, I'm building a 12' by 4' wargames table to get as much figures on as possible!!!!!
Dave
-
Dave,
Will these figures be commercially available?
Hi
I've sent message.
Dave
-
Just a quick up date
The line infantry for Mecklenburg are finished, designer is currently working on the Guard grenadiers and a naval crew for the gun yawl (boat). I've converted the Baden line in greatcoat and shako to field cap. Planned for this year is the Light troops, artillery crew (German guns are ready - 6pdr, 12pdr and 7pdr howitzer) and cavalry in shako 1st. Then onto Brunswicker's and Oldenburg.
Dave
-
Busy week
I have now got the standard bearer and officer completed to finish the Prussian command, no currently working on Prussian jagers
Dave
-
Latest info, the following will be with me shortly expanding the Prussians
These have know all been moulded - yesss :)

those are so nice,might also work for1866 Nassauers.
-
Prussian jagers and Brunswickers are now underway.
Dave

Just received the Brunswick line infantry masters, following will be the artillery.
-
Very nice sculpting!
-
incredible work.
-
Update of latest
Hussar dollies in dolman with Mirleton and busby
Brunswick artillery crew
Austrian rocket battery crew
Artillery weapons already done for both, next stop Oldenburg and that completes 1848 (pioneers to do). Next is 1849
More Prussian foot ready shortly.
-
The Prussians are something else, and those Austrians and Brunswickers too
What a great range.
So, come on....will it be available commercially - several people have asked. If this is a private project fair enough, but it would be nice to know :D
-
Cracking project!
I too would be interested in the commercial availability or otherwise; as these look spot on for some early VSF thoughts I have been having
-
Hi
Limited availability for the figures for those interested.
I spent Sunday at the York show buying terrain, a few hills and lots of hedges, with getting the terrain ready I've just got distracted and decided to add a early steam train to the mix, I've found one on thingiverse a laser cut model of the 'Adler'. I've had to rescale it to 28mm and the kind staff at foreground have given me the internal dimensions of their railway track so I'm scaling the model to that so should give me a good feature and target for a what if game of the Danes stopping the supplies by land reaching SH, I'll do the tender and carriages which means I'll get a couple of figures done for the foot plate and a seated SH soldier.
A railway line ran from Hamburg to Kiel in 1850 and the scenario is possible with the Danes blockading the ports.
Hopefully 4 weeks should have something built.
Dave
-
New Prussians have arrived from Clib - officer and standard bearer, jager advancing.
Dave
-
oooh ..so nice.....
-
The 28mm train is finished, with help from the end of a brush shank for the boiler and a fountain pen for funnel, tender and carriages next. Thanks for the comments on the Prussians.
Dave
-
Train and tender completed scaled down to 28mm, carriages and flat bed next.
Dave
-
Just received the steam engine crew and extra Danish foot waving troops forward
-
I had the first game with approx 11/12 units per side approx 24 figures with cavalry and artillery, attached pictures.
1. Shows Mecklenburg troops with Hanoverians in the background
2. Shows Holstein troops in Prussian style unifroms with Mecklenburg cavalry in the background.
3 and 4. Show Danish infantry and jagers.
Dave
-
also
scratch built tugboat paddlesteamer with gun (need something to fight the Danish gunboats) and the train appeared on the battlefield.
Dave
-
Goodness me you are a bit of a Brunel in model form - the locomotive and paddle-boat are stunning.
-
Love the train and especially the paddle steamer.
Good to see your figures on the table!
-
Good looking troops you've done up there. Well done on the trains and the steamer. Hope that gun is bolted to its deck! :o
-
WOW!!
-
Thanks for the responses really appreciate it still to paint the brunswickers and mecklenburg troops to finish 1848 (a few extra Danish units as well), onwards and upwards, starting 1849 with the Danish army in there new uniform followed by the Bavarians - looking forward to these and finish the train with carriage and flatbed.
Cheers Dave
-
AArgh ,yjey are so beautiful hard to resist.
-
Carriage and flatbed completed, I now have to do seated infantry and pioneers in feldmutz for unloading supplies and possibly a crane!!!!
-
Ja. Ser gut, Mein Herr! Ser gut!
-
Delay in latest post, but have new dollies for the 1849 Danes in the new style uniform, 4 conversions of the Dragoons for 1849 and I've had done two seated figures with seperate backpacks and webbing to go on the train carriage.
Also Saxon artillery for use with the Oldenburg artillery and of cause the Saxons later this year? Once the Danish foot and artillery crews are done I'll be starting the Bavarians.
In the pipeline are Danish hussars.
Dave
-
PS flat bed with crates and sacks, currently planning a stores dump with cranes, handcarts etc, just bought approx 500 different sized barrels, crates and sacks - it has to look the part and it will be a good objective on the table.
Dave
-
WOW.
-
Decided to paint the Danish troops to go with the carriage, in the background are Brunswickers stripped up ready to paint.
-
That is excellent!
-
Boats and trains I can imagine this being loads of fun to play...
-

I've attached a picture of the stock yard to build, also I'm getting a 350mm bigger gunboat made and looking at a Danish Frigate - it will be a metre long. To go with the nautical theme I'll be putting the seated Danes in rowing boats to create a interesting game.
Thanks for the all the feedback.
-
Latest masters have arrived the Danish hussars.
-
Lovely and with faces looking suitably hussarish.
-
What a wild labour of love this project is. Can't believe all the detail and options you've put in - for a relatively smaller conflict, you will nevertheless have no shortage of scenarios to fight!
-

Yes I'll also be doing engineers, medical orderlies and transport staff, this time I got too many dollies done 8 instead of 5, I'll just have to get more poses done, I just have Hanoverian hussars to do to complete 1848 and paint up the Danish volunteers. Next is 49 with all the extra states, this will take a couple of years (looking forward to the Bavarians). I will also do the Swedish/Norwegian peace keepers.
Then onto the Baden revolt, I'm slotting them in as I go along and all the militias (the uniforms and helmets are to die for design wise).
Dave
-
Lovely and with faces looking suitably hussarish.
Cheers, I'm looking forward to painting them
-
Another game Battle of Bov, using the Danes and SH troops

What a great project, I really like your troop sculpts, but the vehicles also!
-
Motorised train?
Now that would really be something :D
This is a truly excellent project. Can't wait to see it all
-
This whole project is really something else.
You have completed so much in a relatively short space of time.
What a fine example of what commitment, hard work and talent can achieve.
Bravo!

Thanks for that, just starting 1849 campaign, this will take 2 years with the amount of figures needed, I'm just about ready to start painting the the last lot of 1848 troops the Danish volunteers and the rest of the Oldenburg artillery.
-
Motorised train?
Now that would really be something :D

Completed 2 squadrons of Danish hussars
-
Lovely looking Hussars! Well done.
-
Delay in work on the SH range working on the Prussian limber horses and mounted officer, NCO and trooper, completed the Danes with 3 advancing figures to go with the firing line in the Kepi and frock coat. Also pictured are Baden artillery ( I've gone off subject to do Baden troops in field cap/ picklehaube in great coat - 6 figures plus command and tunic with no backpack in field cap/ picklehaube plus command - 12 figures and finally 6 figures in helmet and backpack yet to convert to field cap - these are for the Baden revolt 1849).
Dave
-
Missed the most important part the 1842 Prussian limber, poor image of lovely limber unfortunately hidden by 2 limber riders - which is not quite correct, at the time they walked along side the limber, plus my photography is poor.
-
Cool looking figures and horses!
-
I love everything about this thread. A very cool project.
I have been toying with the idea of making a "what if" project for the first Schleswig war.
When the war broke out the was a rumor that the Holstein rebels had set the prisoners of Rendsburg free and that they were roaming up Jutland burning and pillaging. It caused a major uproar as the army was not present to protect them. So they formed local militias and made homemade weapons and meet up to do exercises. So they could be ready to repel the horde of prisoners from Rendsburg. In fact no prisoners were set free and also there were only around 30 not exactly an army. So it was all fake news.
It would however make for some cool wargaming scenarios. But I cannot really find any suitable minis for it. So for now it lays abandoned.
-
Pictures of Prussians by Clib masters 3D printed attacking Danes
-
That looks very nice ...waves of infantry!
-
Incredible collection.
-
That looks really cool!

Update for the New Year
Currently working on Prussian artillery crew and guard marching to go along side the limber and artillery supply train, extra storage for the top of the limbers. Command for the Danish line in 1848 uniform, extra Baden artillery crew.
On wagons getting Danish limber, British limber and Prussian supply wagon to go with planned ammunition limber and old style wagon.
Busy painting at the moment.
Dave
-
Those chaps look great! Well done!
-
Your project certainly continues to impress - cracking work...
-
I've painted and based the limber team, waiting for crew to march along side limber.
Dave
-
Nice.....how's the project coming along overall ?
-
Nice.....how's the project coming along overall ?
The project is probably behind schedule, due to me getting extra figures designed ie doing a train and carriages and troops to fit. Also extra poses, started 1849 troops, slowed with fitting in Baden revolt troops and going into greater detail with the Prussian artillery crew and support equipment, supply wagons ie ammunition limber and Napoleonic style limber. The 1849 troops will be Bavarians, Hessians, Saxons, Nassau, Wurttemburg and all the minor german states.
-
Certainly wide in scope too. Keep up the great work.
-
Incredible work, my man!
I'm doing the same project in 15mm and it's a blast! I can honestly say that I love converting the minis and the painting has gone a bit faster than my other projects.

Currently working on a Prussian deployed artillery crew and Danish campany NCO standard bearer, at the same time I'm building a SH paddle steamer using a Napoleonic frigate hull I picked up at Battle Ground wargames show for a tenner, it already had lost its masts and bowsprit. Its approx 300mm long it looks 15mm scale? I removed the ships wheel and tillerbar, the rest of the mountings for the bowsprit and deck hatches. On the outside I've removed the side windows at the back and filed the rear windows flat. I've now had made paddle wheels and the housings to fit on the side so next week I'll be grinding both to fit the side of the boat. Attached picture of paddle wheel
-
That's going to be be impressive.
-
Latest work on paddle steamer, I've just found out that the donor boat is a revell kit HMS Bounty. Paddle wheels attached, basic paint job anothe gun to add, air vents and boxes and crates, also crew.

Nice limber, how did you make the wheel?
The wheels been made by a vehicle designer for me out of plasticard square section heated up and formed into a circle - the most expensive part of the model but well worth it.

Thanks for the info. I am still thinking about how to design proper wheels of this kind, my best idea so far is MDF lasercut.

3D printing would be better, you can alter the wheek depth to hub whereas with 2D laser cutting the wheel will be flat.

Yes, the depth of the hub is my main concern. I was thinking about making a rim and the hub from MDF then adding the spokes from plastic rod. Then it can be cast in resin. Thing is, I can make laser cut (=I can design stuff and order cutting it), but 3d design is above me.

Latest painted figures, SH artillery crew Prussian style uniform and 1848 Danish company command group for expanding existing units 10 sets done so far. Sending to designer for 2 hanoverian draught horses Danish jagers in kepi and mounted artillery limber riders for the Hannoverians and Brunswickers. Planning started for the Bavarians, two months time I'll have finished the Danish foot including medical crew and wounded.

Latest images from moulded figures, the Prussian supply wagon and Baden civilian volunteers one group in town type clothes and the second group in student/revolunionary style smocks.
The supply wagon was used in the 1860's and 70's by the Prussians so I've asked Leon to sell it in the red vector range? as its so good.

Amazing collection

Hey Dave,
Loving everything you make for this entire range. Although I don't mean to prod you, I'm curious how are those Hanoverian King's Hussars coming along ;)
I'm sure my forces will be anticipating when this illustrious unit can refight Oversø and finally bring a charge home against the Danish 2nd Jægerskorps! Seriously though, I can't thank you enough for getting me into this conflict and spurring me on to find some really great scenarios to wargame!
-
This project has everything - a lesser-known conflict;
some wonderful and unusual uniforms; ; fantastic research; and just a touch of technological whimsy ! Might you draft us just a paragraph on who exactly is fighting who and how the different castings line up on the opposing sides. The Danes and the Prussians I understand but am lost with Baden civilian volunteers, Hanoverians and so on. JM
-
It is a very complicated conflict with roots all the way back to medieval times. But basically it is a Danish civil war. Over whether the duchy's Schleswig and Holstein should remain a part of Denmark og join the German confederation. You can read a bit more about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Schleswig_War
-
@Cuirassier,
As Dr. Zombie has been so kind as to point out, the First Schleswig War was fought over the question of who should rule the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein (which were legally inseparable due to medieval legislature). The conflict began in 1848 when the two Duchies declared their severance from Denmark and created a revolutionary government in its place. While the Duchies suffered several early defeats, Holstein, which was actually already a nominal member of the German Confederation, was able to secure Confederal military aid. This is where the German troops from Prussia, Hanover, Saxony, and elsewhere come into play. They would continue to fight the Danes alongside the forces of Schleswig and Holstein until a peace deal in 1849 allowed them to return home. 1850 saw the eventual defeat of the now-isolated revolutionary forces of Schleswig and Holstein.
However, the revolution of 1848 was not unique to Schleswig and Holstein. The largest and most famous is of course the Hungarian revolution in the Habsburg lands, but the revolutionary fervor had in fact swept all throughout Europe, seen as far West as Spain and as far East as Poland. The reason Germany was so open to sending troops to fight Denmark was actually to unite the Confederation against an external "threat" in the face of liberal revolution across the German speaking states. The largest, longest, and bloodiest of these Confederal Revolutions was that of Baden, spanning from the spring of 1848 to the summer of 1849.
Hope this helps, and I love talking about this period so if you have any more questions feel free to ask!
Edit: to clarify the Baden Revolution saw the Badenese revolutionaries (the Baden volunteers Dave has made) fighting against a campaign by the local Badenese government forces as well as Confederal troops from Hesse and elsewhere.
-
Most helpful and interesting gentlemen.
-
Awesome work!
Be careful when you get to Saxons. If you're relying on Weaver's book, that has been superceded by Jan Schulermann's research that indicated that the Saxons of 1849 looked like 1850's Austrians.
Since my project is in 15mm, I'm using OG15s FPW Austrians in kittle to depict the Saxons.

The Baden volunteers are part of the Baden revolt, these have been done as a side to the SH revolt for a display game at Salute this year.
Currently back working on the SH range with 2 mounted Danish generals and Hess Cassel troops, for the Danes mounted limber horse riders so I can finally bring out the Danish limber teams.
The Hanoverians were part of the forces of the German confederation along with Mecklenburg, Oldenburg etc, I've started the states that entered the war in 1849.

I have Schulermann's research and there's a debate going on (my end) as to which is correct as line drawings from witnesses of the Saxon troops in action in SH show them in the tailed coatee and shako, the older style uniform. Jan gives the date of introduction, new equipment tended to be issued when the old equipment wore out - Hence the Prussians in the new virchow webbing alongside troops in the older cross belts( Napoleonic research suggests that leather belts were expected to last 14 years before replacement), same with the artillery limbers napoleonic style limbers mixed with the new 1842 limbers. You also have to remember most of these states were poor and relied on taxing the population.
Dave
-
Apologies for the delay in answering the questions been very busy at work and having to deal with a dog having a cruciate ligament operation and stopping him from behaving like a dog, a cocker spaniel very difficult!!!!!
Back with the masters and concentrating on the SH range(s) with Danish Generals in kepi - great coat and tunic.
The last figures for the Danish limbers, teams are the limber horse riders 1 x 1842 uniform and 1 x 1848 uniform, the limber I've converted for 2 horses in tandem or single horses in line (towing the espignols).
Hess Cassel line infantry 3 x foot, drummer and standard bearer, forgot to send officer in next batch with extra Bavarian foot for the Jagers (same unifrom different colour facings) and artillery crew, sent scale plans of Bavarian artillery to artillery designer along with the Danish 3pdr, limber etc
Soon as I get the masters I'll post pictures.
-
Hey Dave,
Yep! You're correct in that most armies used equipment and uniforms until they wore out and it's true that taxes on the populace supported the army. My only point was that Schulermann's research appeared to be comprehensive. It's a shame that the Yahoo groups S-H War group got nuked (along with the rest of the Yahoo groups). There was a quite heated debate on there about the Saxons and Schulermann was quite convincing.
However, I guess when it comes right down to it - who knows? The attached picture (contemporary picture of the Saxon attack at Dybbol). In 15mm, it was just easier to go with the Austrians in kittel.
Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Hi
The picture you've attached isn't contemporary the artist painted it in 1909, I've attached 3 line drawings and sketch of saxon troops in 1849, these are just an example.
Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Well - looks like I was wrong! :o
So, anyone got any ideas on tail-coated, small shako Saxons in 15mm? :D

We think that the officers and artillery crews were in the new uniform, as were the Danish in 1848, were the officers quickly reverted back to re coats as they stood out and were targetted on the battlefield.
-
Latest masters, limber horse riders in the 1842 and 1848 uniforms and two Danish generals in kepi, also not shown are conversions on the Prussian masters to Hess Cassel troops - different badge on helmet and handle on sword.

Actually, I decided on 15mm British Crimean War infantry from Miniature Figurines.
I also finished up the 2 Norwegian musketeer battalions this week and I'll be hopping on the Swedish hussars (2 regiments) and Swedish Lif Lancers this weekend. I've got most of the artillery finished (no caissons though) and, since we have the exam session for the next 2 weeks - I might be able to finish off a few more Danish 'shako' battalions. This is going to be a big project and I decided to give the Swedish/Norwegian 'peacekeeping force' more 'punch'. So, the Swedish/Norwegian contingent has 6 guns, 12 infantry batts. (4 jaeger and 8 musketeer) and 6 cavalry regiments. The Danes have 26 guns (6 'shako' and 20 kepi), 44 batts. (12 'shako', 6 jaeger, 2 guard in bearskin, 24 'kepi') and 7 regts. of cavalry (6 dragoons and 1 hussar). The Germans will have about the same number of guns, batts. and cavalry regiments. I've got 6 batts. of German infantry finished but wanted to get the Swedish/Norwegian contingent out of the way first.
Once I get some more battalions and cavalry regiments finished, I'll start a thread on LAF and maybe on TMP.
I've also got the 1848 Hungarian Rebellion project up and running (also in 15mm) and might post pics of those minis as well (in a different thread). I'm currently working on the Serbian militia, then, it's on to the last National Guard batts. and the grenzers. I've got 6 Hungarian batts. done and 12 more in the pipeline.
My 1788/92 Polish-Russo-Swedish War (along with the Norwegians) project is progressing along as well. The Norwegian and Swedish armies have been finished for a few years and the Russians are almost completed. The Lithuanian/Polish infantry has been completed; I just need to get to the cavalry. The Turks are a long way down the road.

You never cease to amaze Dave, the dedication it requires to research such an obscure conflict, even down to individual units that were involved in even a minor role in the conflict! Although the enthusiasts for this conflict are few, I'm sure we're also so gratious for you making a comprehensive range.

Great new additions, the ship looks fantastic even at the current stage :)

Latest masters and hopefully the first of many pictures of the game at Salute. Bavarian artillery crew and cavalry dolly for the Bavarian cavalry, plus 3 conversions for needle rifle - although only use is very limited as it was classed as a secret weapon and they didnt want it to fall into enemy hands - company level use skirmiskhing.

On these I've just put a burnt umber wash on the hands and faces, previously I've given the figures a full black wash - not too happy with the results so for the rest of the uniform body and trousers a black wash on to give depth to the white trousers. There are different view points regarding the use of needle rifles in 1848 war, from Danish sources yes from German sources no. It gives me the potential of doing a war with Austria in 1850 over the erfurt union (plus Russians supporting Austria).

I see, thats why I asked :) Some armies can be painted with washes, but the balck powder era uniforms are too colourful to be covered with just 1 wash.

With the new Prussians I've painted I've put a weak black wash for the trousers and high lighted the coat with a 50/50 mix of prussian blue and blue gray this has worked and given some depth to the coat.

In what sense break off the model? see picture I've drilled a 0.4 hole and pushed the bayonet over the end of the rifle.
-
I see, you added it together with the ring, that way it is stable. I could not figure it out first, thought you just glued the blade itself somehow.
-
Just moulded the Danish limbers for artillery and espignols. Finished the masters for the Bavarians (still awaiting the field gun) looking at Saxons or Nassau next.

Yes, the Danes had what was called the tap rifle, they were at the start of issueing them generally to the troops starting with the light/jager types first
In 1849 a speciel corps of marksmen was created of volunteers ("Det frivillige Riffelskyttekorps"). All members were tested for their marksmanship. You had to at least be able to hit a man sized target from "200 alen" with seven out of ten shots and all had to be "deadly" (head and body). 60 men were picked and put into two units, one for Dybbøl, one for Fredericia. The uniform was the standard "jæger"uniform but with a white cross on the left shoulder. Armament was a "tapriffel" model
1848.

Thanks Dr Zombie for the video on the tap rifle very interesting, The Schleswig Holstein army were similarly dressed, but I've done the sharpshooter in a feldmutz as against a kepi, I put the wrong picture up earlier (see attached word doc for uniforms). The SH army were basically a German dressed version of the Danish army. I've currently finished a Prussian unit with needle rifle and have been basing/flocking lots of trees and have assembled and painted a church (from warbases) lovely model.
My plan is in the new year to get out all the figures I've had designed and painted for a megagames (I've approx 18 Danish battalions painted). I do need to paint more limber teams for the Danes.

Looks cool (undercrewed machinery is always disillusioning) but you glued them there unpainted?
The figures are cast without a base, I first filed the bottoms of the feet flat (remove the marks from the metal feeds) and drilled holes through the bottom of the feet and the glued steel wire pins into each foot. I undercoated and painted the shoes trying to avoid painting the bottoms of the feet. I then marked and drilled the boat deck and super glued and pinned the figures into position, I then had the delicate job of painting the figures, I positioned them to ensure I didn't have a difficult job painting them.

Hi
Nice figures, and very interesting.
If you had a website i could order or st it personal messaging.
Those skarpskyttekorps were in 1848 only , and not in 1849.
If you need some information you need. Do not hesitate to contact.
-
Thank you for your kind message. I simply cant read the verification letters. Thanks for the offer of figures. My offer was to give you some information. If you have any pressing questions i would like to answer, of course there are probably people with better knowledge, who helps you.

-
Looking great, to cast or unique build?
They are in kit form to be cast I just put them together for the photograph, in the pipeline are Danish 3pdr and limber, Bavarian 6pdr field gun + extra breech loading barrel and a limber - breech loader, why not since they used the same gun trail in 1866, later ammunition limber to go with the Bavarian equipment. Of course more infantry etc to finish off the minor northern/southern German states.
-
More mundane stuff hedges
-
Love em,,where Im from in Loit NE of Schleswig ,you have lot of Knicks, low stone walls topped with moss or grass and hedges made up of Rosehips. I hated trimmimg those hedges,lots of thorns and very dense.Great job on your hedges and the little gates are spot on.
-
Game on Friday 16 foot by 6 foot table couldn't put all the figures out :'( I did put out the new windmill built and quickly painted from AQSgames impressed by the service, Danes had 19 battalions and two gun boats against a North German Confederation army made up of Prussians, Mecklenburgers and Hanoverians. Game ended in a draw one wing on each side getting beat, fun day.

Close up pictures of some of the figures from 1848, painting and designwork all mine, masters completed for me minor/ major changes to the figures by me ie Danish jagers converted to SH jagers. Part 1
-
Part 2 SH troops. A small part of my collection, with the different codes coming 12 A4 pages!

In the process of painting up the Bavarian battalions, still need to put a wash on the figures and base up
-
Just finish the last three Bavarian line infantry battalions, this makes in total 4 battalions. Next will be the Jagers, same figure but with blanket roll around body and plume on side of helmet, then the cavalry. Artillery will be delayed awaiting artillery gun master followed by limber to finish off.
-
Pictures of the Prussian troops, still to mould are the Prussian guard.
-
Next batch these are pictures Brunswick and Oldenburg infantry and artillery
-
They look cool, but what is the logic in the basing? 2s, 3s? 4s?

Been a while since I checked this thread. It all looks good!

I use units of 24 so use bases of 4, 3, 2 and 1, for my Schleswig Holstien range I'm currently at 12 pages of individual figures and have too many for a 16' by 6' wargames table, I have 20 battalions of Danes and haven't started painting the 1848 uniform change figures yet. I'm currently painting Bavarian Chevau legers to go with the foot and finishing off the figures for the 6/7th Prussian battalion. For field features I've done a wooden pole with a bushel of straw tied to the top to show troops gaps in the hedges and from John at take cover scenics 1200mm of Danish hedging (you cann't have enough). Still got some of the Southern Germans states to do, Swedes and I'll need lots of civilian's

Also moulded Prussian munitions wagon attaches to limber. To mould Saxon casson and will be doing the 24pdr mortar.
For my wargames table I've had lots of hedging made with wicker fencing, bushes etc, gate ways and poles with bushels of hay on marking entrances through hedges and for village houses vegetable gardens
