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.
Dave

Back packs 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 :)

Busy time just completed all the mecklenburg foot - line, Guard grenadiers and light infantry
-
Wrong picture completed 180mm gun boat and crew, correct pic for Mecklenburg
-
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!
