Here are a couple of pictures of the Minden SYW Croats that I posted on my blog today:

Very nice! They have a much leaner and meaner look that my Croats, who are from Crusader Now all they need is to "liberate" a few chickens and a bottle of wine – - |

How do these miniatures compare (in height) to Crusader miniatures? I don't intend to mix them in the same unit, but I already have many Crusader mins. |

Crusader will appear to be chunkier versus the Minden figures. Crusader remind me a bit of the Front Rank figures. I use the Crusader figures in my large 30mm Big Battalion regiments. |

Do I see the mustaches are assorted to the coats? very nice set. On the light side, I always wondered (I have them too in 15mm)how this hat without chinstrap would not fall when they run. |

They didn't – they would retire in a dignified manner while there was still time. |

These are excellent figures… |

Jim, Well done! Thanks for sharing. Need to take a look at the listing for SYW Prussian Cavalry. I think you skipped a line. The prices don't seem to match the description. Need to send another order soon! Great figs! v/r

Looking forward to seeing the inked Russian artillery…and the carts!!! |

If you are a member of the AMG ("A Military Gentleman ") forum, you can see the pictures there. Otherwise, I should have pix of the Russian equipment posted on the web site and blog later in the week. Or become a Facebook friend of Der Alte Fritz and see pictures now. |

I guess I will have to wait as I am not involved in that forum and I don't have a Facebook account… |

Ioannis: check out my blog today.  Russian artillery crew are now posted. |

Here are the Russian cannon:

I don't think we have seen better sculpted Russian barrels!!! The Unicorn is particularly well executed… |

DAF, You are doing a most fantastic job. Very nice looking Russian guns you have there. I also love the ammunition cart. Russians aren't on my this-year-to-do list. But I will need a couple of those pieces some time in the future.
I did buy some Russian 7YW guns from Foundry Miniatures, Nottingham at Crisis Antwerpen last November. 2 Shuvalov Secret howitzers with oval bore. The model looks rather similar to the one you have here. Is that another "Foundry" Miniatures that you are distributing?
I'm confused. Cheers,

I have nothing to do with Foundry.  The Foundry Russian cannon are quite nice, I must say. Robi Baker sculpts my artillery equipment and wagons now. Fritz |
