Shipment of Dreispitz-Miniatures worldwide

Hi folks,

I recognized that a lot of followers of my blog do come from outside Europe.

On my website I mentioned not to send figures to other countries than to the members of the EU.

This has been changed.

But the costs of shipment differ because they also depend on the weight of the parcel.

For parcels weighing up to 500gr. the costs will be 5,50 € (including insurance), for parcels weighing up to 1kg the costs will be 9,05 €.

I don´t think that there will be heavier parcels at the moment.

Costs for toll have to be paid by the customer.

So if you like to order figures please send a mail to 

dreispitz-miniatures@t-online.de

Thank you very much.

Cheers

Mike

A trip to the CRISIS in Antwerp

Hi all,

the weekend has gone and we (Franz, Walter and I) had three days of real wellness for men including gaming, buying a lot of things for our hobby we (might) need some times, drinking beer, having fun, visiting the ArmyMuseum of Brussels and telling a few dirty jokes :)

On friday we started our tour to Antwerp there we got late in the evening.

The show on saturday showed us that the long trip was worth it. 

A lot of traders and a lot of gaming tables. 

Wow!

I would like to show you why the convention was "Wow!" but I forgot to check my camera. 

So as I wanted to take the first photos the energy had been down. 

Sh... Sorry for that. 

I promise for better performance next time. ;)

But if you like to see some photos here is a link:

Today I took some photos of my treasures from CRISIS (after recharging that damned camera).

The first three pictures show the lots of terrain I got there.

In the centre you can see some streets that are very flexible.

As you can see I´ve bought a lot of palm trees, too. 

These are just for my planned Japanese Army for OperationSquad.

The next picture shows the figures and paints I bought for that.

The book is from the museum´s store of the ArmyMuseum in Brussels.

And here the figures I bought for my favourite period, the SevenYearsWar, especially for the French&Indian War.

I couldn´t resist to buy some magazines, too.

And here is a picture of the figure every visitor got at the entrance.

A very nice miniature sculpted by Paul Hicks.

This had been a great weekend and we will be at CRISIS in 2013 for sure.

Cheers

SYW - Bavarian Soldier of Regiment Minucci

Figure:  Dreispitz Miniatures

Scale:  28mm

Today I´m posting a test figure for the Bavarian Regiment Minucci of the SevenYearsWar.

I want to paint this regiment as one of the next units for Maurice.

The figure is one of my own range "Dreispitz-Miniatures" and so this was a double test

 - painting my first Bavarian soldier and also painting my first own miniature.

The Bavarians fought on the side of the Austrians against Prussia and took part in the battle of Leuthen. But they also saw a lot of action on other battlefields of this war, too.

Further information about this Regiment and also about the whole Bavarian Army can be found here:

I would like to apologize for the bad quality of the pics.

And here are some more photos setting the figure in scene.

Cheers.

Mike
