Nicely done! What manufacturer are the figures? They look like old school Minifigs. |

A very interesting subject matter.
Keep up the good work. |

This blog is turning me into a (even more of) a scandophile…. |

OG@W: Yes, they are indeed Minifigs from the mid to late 1970's – one of the few manufacturers to have done Danes in 25mm. Disposalman: Thanks; there are are least six more posts coming in this series. Optional: Excellent! It is certainly an interesting army; if you want a Napoleonic Army in red that isn't British, then Denmark is the ticket (and we haven't touched on Norway). |

Disposalman, Interesting avatar. I used to wear one of those on my uniform when I commanded 49. Rod |

Peter,
Are these 1st gen 25mm Minifigs? If so were these also produced as 2nd gens? Interesting army though. John |

John, They are definitely of the 2nd generation Minifigs released in the mid 1970's; I don't recall if there were Danes in the first generation ones from the late 60's/early 1970's; I only ever had a handful of 1st generation Minifigs…. but lots of 2nd generation ones! Peter |

Tom I use my real name on all forums (apart from the army ARRSE), because it was compulsory on the first one I joined, the Napoleon Series. Completely off-topic, but I went to 49's disbandment parade a few weeks ago. We had 10 former OCs and 6 former SSMs at the dinner. There is now total integration between Royal Engineer and Royal Logistic Corps Bomb Disposal units, a good thing in my view. I presume 546 Specialist Team was a pre-runner to 590 Squadron. Rod |

Completing off-topic I keep up to date via REBDOC and REA.
Do not disagree on RE / RLC integration. REgards |

I like Minifigs very much. Pity they don't seem to fit with others. |
gets started with Flintloque.
