Hi Guys,

I was hoping to pick you brains…

I'm looking to collate some info on uniforms for this period, Looking at 1859.

I'm particularly interested in Sardinian forces. I need pictures of the equipment each soldier carried. Also does any company out there actually make figures in 28mm for this period.

Its probably staring me in the face but I'm a bit stuck at the moment.

Cheers

Adam

Adam,
Mirliton has a good looking range for 28mm although I haven'e seen any of the 28mm figures personally. I do have a large collection of their 15mm figures for the 1859 campaign and they are very nice.

For Sardinian uniforms, there are a number of uniform pictures on the web. Photos from the murals at San Martino are on my blog depicting Sardinians in action.

If you have a specific request, leave a comment on my blog and I try to assist.

If I am not mistaken, Mirliton may be closer to 25mm rather than 28mm. Their figures are very, very nice though….

At the risk of sounding like a broken record – Irregular do a small range.

Adam,

You may wish to try the book: "L'Esercito Piemontese alla Vigilia Seconda Guerra per l'independenza dell'Italia 1849-1859'' by Melani/Riccardi. It is in Italian, but has lots of illustrations.

Mirliton 28 MM figures are nice, but some of the poses are a bit stiff – not unlike Minifigs poses.

Those Mirliton figures that I've seen (I have a few of their 15th century range) are very good.
