Militia in civil cloths and tricornes are a good idea. I will write it down on my list.
Next out is mortars, medium machine guns and a few important missing pieces for the first release (sitting poses and another light machine gun). I have just asked the sculptor if he want to do a few more figures.
After that (if money permits mind you): dismounted cavalry.

Here is a picture of the early Landstorm (Home guard) soldiers. This is the look of the ww1. But most Landstorm geezers would perhaps have had an older ammunition bag.

Very interesting look.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

The dainty little tricorne is a romantic throwback uniform detail harking back to the army Carolus Rex. Even more impractical in 1910.

Landstorm figures would be great.What a splendid photograph!
Any plans for Life Guard in ceremonial uniforms? I have some Holger Erikson ones but I don't think they would be compatible with the chaps you have comissioned.
Also I wondered about some high ranking officer / staff figures?

Yes, Life Guards in cermonial uniforms are on the list. My plan was to make some from the Life guards on horse (K1). They would fit the bill both as dismounted cavalry and life guards in cermonial uniform (but not the big parad uniform, just the minor one). And a blog friend (Dalauppror, have you seen his blog?) was actually in that regiment when he was young. That's why I call him hästplågare (nice swedish word what can be translated as cavalryman).

By the way: Ådalen Miniatures webshop has just opened for business! http://adalen.historifigs.com/
