I sculpted these miniatures about 10 to 15 years ago – then still – alas in 1 / 72 scale. There I am not a professional sculptor the progress was very painful – heaps of rejects. NCOs include sergents, sergent-najors, fourriers, caporaux url=https://postimg.cc/image/hnyhlzn3d/] ‌ officers and drummers url=https://postimages.org/] ‌ the soldiers loading their muskets, I tried to produce realistic loading poses url=https://postimg.cc/image/detrju6zd/] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/image/akqm6dx3d/] ‌ fring in ranks, third rank cannot fire because first ranks stays standing url=https://postimages.org/] ‌ the whole unit in a fire fight url=https://postimg.cc/image/7dw2mqpi1/] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/image/snjoxll89/] ‌

These are gorgeous! I have been trying to email you for ages concerning pictures of another range you sculpted. Nigel

Very nicely done!

@de Ligne Let me know your e – mail address and I get in touch with you. Those above sculpts are available by Schilling miniatures – who did the mold making and casting in superb quality, there I did sculpt with complete disregard of castability.

Nice!

Outstanding!

Excellent work Von W! I don't recall ever seeing your paintwork before. Nice work on the striped trousers, I can't paint a straight line! Great looking figures.

Beautiful figures and paint job. 1/72nd isn't the size I use but these are very nice.
Sho Boki	13 Sep 2018 11:18 a.m. PST
At last your beautiful figures are casted. Congrats! Prussians will follow?
von Winterfeldt	13 Sep 2018 1:12 p.m. PST
thanks for the kind comments, the miniatures were cast quite a while ago – as for the Prussians, who knows?

Wrgmr1, you should see his early Cuirassier conversions in The One true Scale (TOTS). I have pics saved, but must find the link tomorrow….far too good a long dinner with Mrs F, three sons and extended family tonight…….must drink some water before bed. von W does have a certain talent for sculpting, but then for painting too, plus he does seem to be a reasonably authoritative opinion also!

Fully agree with the statement above.

absolutely fantastic and realistic proportions, cant be sculpted or painted any better

Outstanding!

Excellent stuff!!!!
von Winterfeldt	21 Sep 2018 11:11 p.m. PST
thanks for all the nice comments, at least I realize it doesn't pay off to sculpt ear rings in this scale – hardly anybody will notice.

Beautiful work, I love those sculpts. The painting is really nice too, they go so well together.

Very nice work.
