Oh, hell. I've been tempted by this period for a long time. The only thing that has saved me has been lack of figs. Yes, Foundry has them, but you get like one sculpt per faction. I am doomed....

Not another period.......... ::)
The green looks very promising for upcoming releases.

From a painting point of view, I'd buy this figure just by itself. :)
(Pity it isn't available now. Been painting a figure with an elaborate uniform so I'm just in the mood. :) )

That's a blindingly good curtain raiser Ged-boy 8)
The 40s are very nice but this is God's chosen scale. :-*

a 40mm alamo period as well. this range will be done at the same time...after the
Egyptians , the FFL and possibly Imperial Mexicans........all suggestions welcome

Fantastic!

Holy Smokes that's a lovely miniature, well done Ged. I think I'll be needing a priest after the curses at Ged for starting this range.
Well done to Ian on a fab miniature creation.
Cheers,
Helen

Perry Sudan mahdist
Carlist wars BAL
Mutineer Indian mutiny
Crimean Highlanders and Guards
Empress Maori War Brits
ACW Zouaves
GW LotR Haradrim
1866 Prussians
and lots of others.Try it, it's fun!

Is it to much to ask for some of this figure to be cast up for colours ;D
-
Elysium
good morning to you, the figure is en route today to me special delivery
and wont arrive till tommorow!! if i had the time i would have cast it for Colours
sorry about that! if you e-mail me yr address at gjmfigurines4@btinternet.com
you can be my first customer.........i will get the Major cast up next week....so
it wont be long!! appears i may need to get a few done.!!
regards Ged www.gringo40s.com :) ;) :) ;)
-
as far as suggestions, I think you should start with the Imperials. The other forces are pretty easy to find for the most part.

-
good idea Baron Von, theres the least uniform information on them with
Hefter being the best source but i have enough for Imperial lancers and some
of the exotic units!....................

Ged
www.gringo40s.com
anyone with additional uniform info would be appreciated so all angles are covered!!
especially for the imperials , the company of Military Historians is a great source :)
-
I always quite liked the Austrians, but more especially Maxl's Belgians :D
Love the face on this first chap.

Absolutely! Fantastic miniature, brilliant facial expression!

Any news as to when this figure will be available, sorry but cant wait to paint this figure and add it to my collection.

This is a really nice miniature, and surely something that needs to be purchased, not that I know what to use it for, but for its sheer fantasticness.

Safe to say I love that chap!
