The German "Figuren Symposium" is an annual meet-up of more seasoned and mostly German Hobbyists. Last year they did run a comparison between the commercially available french ammo-carts in 28mm. Soon it became clear that there was room for improvement. After careful research of M. Bartling and N. Rullkoetter I'm happy to present you with Westfalias next "bigger" project. This model ist still "Beta" and will hopefully see a round of quality assurance at the next Symposium to come. link link link link I tried marking then copy and pasting those pictures in this window, it really didn't work. maybe because I'm on a Mac? |

Will these be available for retail and if so possibly when and for how much? I quite like it and I am looking to purchase some of these in the very near future. The best I could find are Old Glory's cost-wise… |

Will they come with some Calpe French and limber horses and riders like your Prussian ambulance? These look promising. |

Thank you for the kind feedback. Our aim is to produce a very realistic caisson that can be used during the entire war. Research needs time, and the model still needs several loops of feedback even if looks "ready". The caisson will be most likely released under the Westfalia label. Suitable and good-looking French train-horses are available from the big companies, so we're pondering with just buying a few sets from the nicer brands in case somebody needs the Caisson and the horses in one go.
(It also daves us from a lot of costs and hassle that comes with licensing horses and looking into the right harnessing.)
Additionally we intend to make a unique set of Train-soldiers available at the time of the release. I'll make sure to post an update in this thread once the release is imminent, we also try and update the news and work-bench sections of Westfalia on a bi-weekly base, feel free to stop by. :@) |

The caisson looks superb. Well done and good luck with the project. |

The tin bonnet is especially convincing and well done! Great work! |

Thank you for your kind words – the IronDuke and Dye4Minis. We really try hard! |

The German stuff is always the best. Long live 1/72 scale! |

Just it's now 28mm scale :-) Still the same people behind it. |
