Dear readers,

The ambulance:
Peter Fitzgerald of Calpe will not only mould and cast that piece, but will add some Train-soldiers and suitable horses too. Everybody who knows the quality of Peters work will understand that I'm really happy that he's aboard. A rough estimate for the release is still several weeks from here, but I'm sure that's for the best.

Westfalia Miniaturen:
This will be the name the ambulance and hopefully many more assets will be published under.
Peter will host it on his web-site much like he does with the "Brigade plates" of Peter Bunde.
That should make it easy for the hobbyists out there to get their hands on what we have to offer.

Division von Saher

I finally got around to proceed with the project and I'm happy to present you with the definite start of the "zweite koeniglich saechsische Division" , the 27nd of the Grande Armee.

The Division fought well and it was only possible to evict the Grenadiers from Beeren by attacking them from 3 sides with several Battalions.

First there's the new very visual Ordre de bataille for the Division, then there's a first Battalion of Calpe-Saxons that was painted by the very affordable talented and experienced Mr. Murrow over at the very nice RTB at Large blog. I strongly reccomend the services of this man.

Medics - finished

I'm very happy to present you with Niels Rullkoetters and Michael Bartlings latest Creation - the prussian ambulance!

There were only 14 build after the plans were purchased from England in 179something.
Sources state that there were only 3 left after Leipzig, so there's even a small possibility that 1 of them was still around at Ligny/Placenoit.
The sides and roof were build of oilskin canvas that was wrapped around a metal frame.
The roof could be removed in the summer. Painting and words on the side come from Knoetels plate that initially sparked that "preussische Chirurgie" project of mine.

On a side-note: I'll attend Salute this year, and I still have 3 packs from the 2nd and definitley last issue of the doctor-miniatures left. Please drop me a mail to kawe.weissi-zadeh@hotmail(dot)com if you're there and interested!





Some detail of the lovely calpe artillery on the march:

Division Durutte

I took part in the painting competition over at la Bricole as an opportunity to get painting on the french started. I tried different colors and techniques which lead to some inconsistencies. But I'm happy with the overall look.

The Calpe miniatures really are a joy to paint, almost no flash and well defined and extruded details.

Here they are, the first 16 out of about 200 miniatures that I need for the division.

Brigade Krafft

After serious work and the help from friends around the world I'd like to present you with Krafft's Brigade at Grossbeeren in 1/20. A total of about 400 28mm miniatures.
