New Westfalia releases

[Schrumpfkopf]

These miniatures were sitting on the shelf for quite a while but will now see day-light.

Cantiniere insipired by a flat from the 30's:

The flat:


We too have a mean huge Prussian Train-soldier that will not ride but walk beside our horses. We will add him to the barrel-cart and the ambulance.

Very nice work!

Great sculptes !

[fastolfrus]

Love the cantiniere - will she be available seperately or just as part of a set?

[Emir of Askaristan]

Wonderful...
I have a pair of your highlanders, now I need the cantiniere to take a pot shot at them!

[Schrumpfkopf]

Thank you for the kind feedback. I was pondering with adding more miniatures. It looks like we\re going to do a set with all female chars sich as Eleonore Prochaska, A blokeish little spanish nun with a little blokish gun andpossibly a few more.

Thanks again :--)

Hi Kawe,

as I already said on your blog: Some really nice new miniatures!
I'm looking forward to see them available. Especially for those Prussian train soldiers I've git some conversion ideas...

By the way:
I love this relaxed international forum. 
I remember the posts in another (German...) forum where the discussion displaced to the incorrect bearing of the loading cantiniere... 
For me the elegancy and speciality of the figure itself stands out and that's whay I like it. Correct handling of the musket or not...
 

Cheers
Stefan

  Wrong musket drill. Yeah I bet she got loads of training before she had to pick up the musket in a last ditch self defence.

Danke Stefan,

You know - if one of these ultra serious reenactment guys finds a musket-drill issue with our Cantiniere(!), then I smile and nod and try to think of sausages and beer.

All the more serious people I know found her agreeable and very much in the spirit of the old set of flats which was our design-aim.

In America they call them Farbies, as in "Far be it for me to tell you you've got it wrong, but ......." 

These are the hard-core who don't wear shoes, catch dysentry and have lice to get that authentic ACW feel....... 

I am impressed by your wares, I will be getting the Prussians to add to my Perrys.

Haha - We have them too. And they start talking where your quoted sentence ends.

That said - I neither mind people challenging our work nor do I mind some self-righteous Troll once
in a while.

Keeps me young so to say.
