League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Dear Friends and Follower of this Thread,

With the date for the release of the range getting closer I herewith like to show how those figures will look like. Figures have been painted by Artmaster.









Just keep in mind that the Heads are changeable for a plenty more variations of them.

The realease is planned to start with the end of January.

Thank you for following.
All comments are welcome.

These look very nice Gunter although it's a pity you didn't go for the 1866 war uniform.
Cheers

My dear Dave,

I am quite sure that you are joking and you are well aware that the CUT of the Uniforms stayed the same 1866 to 1870. But if enough requests are noted than we can make a Head Variant that suits the needs for 1866 too.

Best regards,

Günter

1866 is my wish too.

Dear Friends,

Today I have sent my first Order to Steve for the New Range of Franco-Prussian War Troops. It contains about 150 Miniatures for a three Battalion Regiment. They are go to Artmaster for painting because I believe they have a very good painting style to offer.
This First Order represents roughly 1/12th of the future Army Corps.

Next thing on the Sculpting Table of Steve Barber will be the FPW Saxon Grenadiers and additional Miniatures for the already existing range to provide more types of Figures.

Cheers,

Günter

Dear Friends,

The Franco Prussian War-Miniature Range is now available from Steve Barber Models. Currently only Saxons are available but Prussians are to follow soon.

All comments and enquiries are welcome.

These are very well done!

I especially like the Jaegers plus the lying down figures would make useful markers for games.

Dear Friends,

Here are a few new pictures of recently finished Miniatures of the new Franco-Prussian War Range Saxons, Figures painted by Artmaster Studios:











Sculpting works on 17 Miniatures of Grenadiers has been finished and will be moulded soon.

Cheers,

Günter

News from the FPW-Front:

First of All the Grenadiers have been sculpted and samples have been painted by Artmaster. Miniatures will be placed on Steves Website as soon as he has figured out how to make his Website "mobile friendly" THANK YOU GOOGLE!!!

Second, Rick the Flagdude has agreed on doing the future Saxon Flags for the Franco Prussian Range, eventually also those for the other German Countries too. I have a large book about ALL German flags from the 19th Century until the end of WWI. So much of info including pictures and extensive info.

More of it as soon as I get results.

Cheers,
Günter

First Glimps on the Saxon Grenadiers:


















A small details was missed by Artmaster - the Collars of the Grenadiers have two parallel stripes not only one. I believe they will change that soon.

Cheers,

Günter

The look most splendid

Here are the first pictures of the WIP on 3 Battalions of Saxon Infantry.





They represent roughly a Third of what to be done. Two Jaeger Battalions are now with them too.

Here is also an image of how those Flags from Flagdude will look like.



There is a lot to be done.
The Gun-Sculpting Process has now been finished and the mould will be done next week so *fingers crossed* that all goes well.

Gun crews are planned to be of 3 x 4 Gunners in different poses. Something like standing firing, loading and pushing forward like on the picture below.



Cheers,

Günter

Dear Friends,

A few days ago a package of 24 flags reached the Austrian Shore. The able hands of Rick O'Brien, better known as the Flagdude, has finally finished the Saxon Flags of the Franco Prussian War.







I believe he did a superb work .

Cheers,
Günter

Dear Friends,

Two final pictures have been received from Artmaster telling me that the first Infantry Regiment has been finished.





This ends the painting order with Artmaster.
All painted and not painted Figures will go to me to Austria.

Cheers,
Günter
