Bonjour, Very nice indeed! I've just ordered this set from Calpe too. Interesting that you've painted the ADC white and could you let me know your source for that? Cheers, Paul |

Thanks for the comments!!;-) Paul is a cavalry ADC,the source is the Osprey book MAA 381"Prussian Staff&Specialist Troops". Saludos Rafa

Hi Rafa, Thanks for letting me know. I don't have that book but the white is such a great contrast to the uniforms of the others that I am going to paint mine the same! Thank again for sharing. Paul |

I am always amazed at what can be done in 28mm. It's the new 30mm, but with better sculpture. Especially the faces. They are a whole level of magnitude above any other wargame scale. It's no wonder there are so many advocates of this scale, and it's no surprise that it eclipsed true 25mm scale. |

Calpe do state that their figures are 30mm true scale. I got a small number of infantry and gunners for a diorama and was so impressed by the castings, I am replacing most of the existing figures with them and have more on order. My Westfalia surgeons stay in though! No flash, none of those pins that always project from the giberne, no mould lines
.and see the grain on the backpacks. Look at the sword knots. I've only just discovered Calpe as I never really had got "into" the Prussians before as they seemed a bit dull. Changed my mind now. Great painting. Makes for a good template to copy, but painting white to that standard I have never yet managed |

Thanks!!:-) Yes ,these figures are quite proportionate and no mold lines, in my opinion these figures have a pretty good quality.;-) Saludos Rafa
