Battle of Leuthen


 Manufacturer:  JohnJenkinsDesign

Scale:  1:30


Hi again,


Last Friday I got some more figures from the JJD-range of the “Battle of Leuthen“.

There are only five different figures left to complete the collection. But these three items are sold out and I‘ll have to search a little bit longer for them.



Cheers

Blood&Plunder - A little figure extension


Scale:  28mm

Manufacturer:  WizKids


Hi,

today´s short post is about a extension for Blood&Plunder. 

A figure that probably never will find a place on the gaming table. But as I had seen this figure it was a must have and it had been great fun to paint it up.

Ladies and gentlemen - here it is - my great white shark.


Cheers 

Mike












SevenYearsWar - The Bavarian Regiment Minucci - WIP

 Scale:  28mm

Manufacturer:  Dreispitz Miniatures


Hi,

This is just a WIP concerning the Bavarian Regiment of Minucci.

The figures are from the range of DreispitzMiniatures, a range that I had in mind about 8 years ago.

I gave a regiment of figures to a good friend of mine as he was interested to paint up some historical miniatures. Many thanks to Dominik Erven for this great paint job.

And here is the result of the first figures. There are some figures left for I decided to give some standard bearers to the regiment. I know that grenadiers had no flags on the battlefield but I will give some flags to my own unit.

So more pictures to come...


Cheers

Mike

JohnJenkinsDesign - Leuthen 1757

Hi,

this is a short post about my other hobby-interest concerning model soldiers - collecting the figures of JohnJenkinsDesign.

http://www.johnjenkinsdesigns.com/

I love these figures very much and would be proud to posses all of them.

If you have a look at the website of  JohnJenkins you very soon will recognize that this is a dream that will never come true for you have to be a kind of millionaire. This has two reasons. The first one is the money you will need and the second one is the storage place.

I started to collect these kind of figures several years ago. I also own some figures from the ranges of "King&Country", but within the first years the collection grew to round about 10 figures in total from almost the same number of different ranges.

It started with buying one or two single figures at Kulmbach (Internationale Zinnfigurenbörse) many years ago and every time I visited this fair I bought another one or two. The fair is held only every two years and I wasn´t able to get there every time it took place.

Last year I decided to get some structure into this small and until when slow growing collection. 

There are many interesting ranges and as I am a great fan of the SevenYearsWar and the FrenchIndianWar you could imagine which range is wanted to be the first on my shelves - yes, "The Battle of Leuthen".

Meanwhile the collection has grown quite well, though it is not easy to get all figures of a range as some figures are already sold out.

There are only a few items of this range missing, but it will take me some time to get the "sold out" ones.

So here are some pictures of the collection so far.

Hope you like it :)


Cheers

Mike
