A wonderful, new set of
Manske Zinnfiguren contains Prussian officers, discussing the strategy and standing around the table with maps. I will use this as a CinC for our wargames, so the officers got a vignette, 2 guards and a cadet, holding additional material. The cadet is of
Irregular Miniatures (an artillery man of the Marlburian range), the hand cart of
S+D Miniatures.
The heads were changed to give the persons more individual characters. I used heads of Trident (left, center, right), Frontrank (2nd from right), Sash-and-Saber (2nd from left), Manske (guards). The maps are just printed and mounted wet.

| The officer on the left seems to be a little bit sceptic with the proposals of the Herr Offizier in the center... |
 |
| "Meene Herrn, ick schlaje vor, wir ziehn da lang und dann rüber mit de Batterien! " |
 |
| "So wird's jemacht und da will ick nüscht mehr hörn!..." |
Fantastiche!

Superb group and photography! This is the kind of images that got me started in the hobby.
ReplyDeleteFor me too! So few occasions to play a good game, so pictures have to replace it! Thank you, Dean!

ReplyDelete:-) So kind! Thanks!

Excellent work and imagination putting this battlefield vignette together.
ReplyDeleteIt gives the Prussians more effect on the tabletop having officers discussing a strategy - not only a CinC on the horse. That was the idea. Thank you, Ross!

Très belle ambiance ensoleillée et studieuse, encore un magnifique travail...mais il n'ont pas de jolie femme qui les accompagne dans un carrosse eux?
ReplyDeleteTrès réussi!
..non, les beautés sont réservées pour les Francais; eux, ils goutent l´odeur feminin... hélas...:-))
