New Franco Prussian Wars. Footsore Miniatures.

Post by Spiraluk » Thu Feb 13, 2014 2:14 pm

I hope Barry doesn't mind some blatant pimping of my new project. You can get all the latest news on my blog. Early days yet but we will have new releases by May if all goes to plan :)

Very interesting!

What nations do you intend to built? France and Prussia of course!
Anything else? Bavarians or Wuerttemberger?

Cheers,
Günter

First up will be just Prussians and Imperial French. Once we are happy with that lot we'll look at Prussian Allies and Republican troops. It will be a long project as I plan to make it pretty comprehensive.

That's a lovely looking French officer Bill, it's just a pity he won't fit in with my Foundry figures, I've got hundreds of them already so I won't be replacing them but I wish you every success with your range and it's always good to see more manufacturers promoting the 19th century wars.

I don't blame you. Its too much to expect people with large collections to start over again, but hopefully we will get some new people collecting for the period.

At last! A brand new range for the Franco Prussian War, I've been waiting years to see French sculpts that are right up to date and in 28mm scale. They look really nice too, I can't wait to see the range develop. Best of luck with it Bill.

Well you get on painting them once they come out Paul, I've got one and half Corps of Prussians and a Corps of Bavarians, all in 25mm waiting to give them a beating :lol:
