Very fine sculpting by Steve. Had a look online of uniform photos and it should make for quite a sight fielding a unit of those. Surprised but not the slightest less enthusiastic to hear they carried axes as well.

Thanks Gribb. I agree, lovely work from Steve. Nice and slender the axes.
Best wishes,
Helen

Pistol whipping would be interesting. :-)

Hunlion

Yes, would be good. I do like the battle scene with a Honved infantryman wearing a captured cavalry helmet.

Best regards,

Helen

Yes Geoff, an odd figure in the rank and file.

Perry Miniatures will be releasing their Austrian Cavalry in plastic soon which has at least one helmet without the woolly crest so this might be right for a conversion on the existing Honved infantryman.

Cheers,

Helen

Hello peeps,

Here is the latest green of a Catholic Priest for the Hungarian Up-Rising. Sculpted by Steve Barber who has done an excellent job based on the illustration provided.

Can be used by both sides and for that matter most other nations.





Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you all.

Thanks for looking.

Best regards,

Helen

Additional information on the Catholic Priest that was sculpted by Steve Barber:

I think Steve captured this particular imagine well based on the brief given to him by me.

Thanks.

Austrian Infantryman advancing is the next green. This miniature will hopefully be converted into a grenadier, nco  and another headdress option.





Cheers,

Helen

Well...its been a while! Release of new greens is predicated on the sculptor and his health, Covid and workload, however, I've good news with the latest green of German Legion Drummer. You will notice for the aficionados out there that he carries a Viennese short sword. He can double up as a Viennese Legion Drummer too.





I cannot tell you when he will be available, but suffice to say he will be at some point.

This is the last miniature for the German Legion to be sculpted. That is 11 miniatures all told.

I do have a Viennese Legion Officer playing a violin that is commissioned and I look forward to the miniature being sculpted.

Cheers!

Hot off the sculptor's desk is this Serenzaner for the Hungarian Up-Rising. Can be used for other conflicts too.



Steve has captured the pose and detail in sculpting this miniature figurine to a lovely standard, thanks Steve.

No date as yet when it will be release.

The Viennese/German Legion Drummer is also now available.

Thanks for looking.

For those folk who follow this thread you may not be aware that Shipka (aka Geoff Coe) has suddenly passed away. Geoff commissioned a number of miniatures through Steve Barber Models covering esoteric periods over the years. Greek Wars of Independence, SE Asia, Hungarian Revolution, 1st Italian Wars of Independence and the list goes on.

His departure has left a void which will be hard to fill. I will miss our conversations we always had covering these periods.

Rest In Peace Geoff.

God Bless you.

Helen
