Progress on the Saxon-front is a bit slower than expected. Yet things fall into place with the guns and carts being almost ready.
Now I have the pleasure to present you with the upcoming Saxon Musketeers in campaign-dress. They have a rather realistic mixture of headress and are meant to add some variety to the existing formation.
I've seen this vehicle for the first time in a book that was released before Germany got reunited for the 10th time. There was a Patronenwagen (Ammunition carrier) for the Infantry and the Cavalry. The 'Hauptpark' of the army had more than 80 such vehicles, which must've made them a very common sight.
I personally love the Trittbretter as well as the nice texture of the side-parts.
The wheels are Bavarian from my knowledge since our own Saxon wheels will only turn up on tuesday! :--)
I'd say that's a perfect opportunity to celebrate!
Feel free to join into the fun by commenting below or by sending an email to info@westfaliaminiatures.com and tell us something you'd normally say on a funky party!
The first 25 to write either per email or leave a comment will receive one of our Cantinieres for free! (Obviously another miniature is fine too:-) You must be alright with being announced as a winner however!
Bloody damn obscure! At least if men of the caliber of our valued Costumer Alexander Baden come to make suggestions.
What we see below is a Coach used by the French imperial Post Services. Iit's still in the middle of development, but I really thought this should be shared.
The model is part of Napoleons HQ which is a most interesting topic but certainly something with limited Gaming-value.
