Wonderful sculpt.  The very epitome of the KundK.

Thank you! I can't wait to have them painted.
...but first, two more officers. (Made by Thebodi and CMK)

[Metternich]

The two officers are wonderful.

Thank you! They will need some troops though

[Metternich]

I look forward to seeing the new recruits.

[Freddy]

I still was not able to start the troops, I have to clean the pile of shame first This general is from KuK Miniatures, smoking might kill, but this warning is apparently not that strong in the middle of the biggest war known to mankind.

Wearing the "artificial brain!"

Wearing the "artificial brain!"

The "steife Offizierskappe" was a typical kuk uniform element for 200 years, in Hungary this cap was called "szilvamérő" (plum measure)

[Metternich]

Yes, but many troops in WW1 sarcastically called it the artificial brain (behind the backs of its wearers, of course), because it was typically worn by higher ranking officers !

Sure, it had many nicknames, the black version was called as "Ofenrohr" (oven cimney) too.

The last Emperor of Austria-Hungary, beautiful miniature from KuK Miniatures. As a Hungarian king he was called IV. Károly, as the Austrian Emperor I. Karl. Here depicted in officers uniform, makes the figure more universal. He was crowned in 1916, after the death of Franz Joseph, but as he became heir to the throne with the death of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, his frequent front visits are well documented from the beginning of the war.

Amazing work!

I don't suppose you have any need of a German Mauser Tankgewehr M1918 and a German MG08/15 in 1:35?

I have both of those weapons in resin (made by a company called SPARTA), but don't have any need for them myself.

Thank you for your offer, but I do not need to buy extra weapons to arm my guys anytime soon. The company ICM offers very good quality 1/35 weapons and equipment sets for all the main ww1 factions (Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, England, Russia, but also for USA, Italy and Turkey), I stockpiled a lot of these sets

Wonderful portrait figure of Kaiser Karl.

Thank you, a beautiful set indeed!


Austro-Hungarian Romfell armoured car from Copper State Models. Not exactly a game piece, but durable enough to see the field sometimes, so why not.
