Hi
I am new to TMP but can anyone point me in the direction of one company producing figures for the Danes, Prussians and Austrians at 25/28mm.
Many thanks |

Hello, Eureka Miniatures makes 28mm 1864 Danes and 1864-66 Austrians and they also have a Franco-Prussian War range for your Prussians. Battle Honors (carried by 19th Century Miniatures) also has 28mm Austrians for 1859-1866, though I do not believe they have Prussians.
Hope this helps and welcome aboard! Tom |

North Star has a nice looking 1866 range if that helps any. |

Irregular Miniatures have a mid 19th Cent range which has useful stuff -especially cavalry.

Does anyone have a link for the Waterloo to Mons stuff? |

Sorry for my delay in saying many thanks for your replies. I had to sign off yesterday and do the housework or end up in the dog house with she who must be obeyed! I thought early retirement would have meant more hobby time, anyway I shouldn't moan. I was hoping to stick to just one company's range so the figures would all be the same scale (sorry I can be a bit OCD about that). I think the best thing for me, given your advice, is to buy some samples from each of the producers and see how they fit scale-wise. Perhaps Stuart is coming over for SALUTE this year, I could ask him about figures for the 1st Schleswig War. Ta again. |

There is no way at all to cover the Danish from a single manufacturer. I do wish I had bought From Waterloo to Mons stuff while it was still available. But even that was inf and Artillery only – not that the cav were v active. (I did buy every mounted officer I could – for FPW etc) I suspect a lengthy limbo will continue. It must be a year since the range ceased production in the UK. |

I think FPW Wurtemburgers are fairly close for the infantry. |

The Continental Wars Society have just acquired the Waterloo to Mons moulds, if you are still interested |

Ian, Are there plans to release the miniatures again or sell the molds to a company to produce the figures? |
| Beaumap | 26 Aug 2016 10:46 a.m. PST |
I am certainly interested! any news? |
