Can anyone point me to some companies that sell finished/fully painted and flocked earthworks that would be suitable for Denmark in 1864?

There are a number of photos in my collection from museums in Denmark. I have bought a lot of great postcards and booklets from them.
Some do show scenes at the earthworks in 1864 and 1847.

I assume you want 28mm? Anyway I have not seen any suitable scenery. You could buy a starfort and modify it but it would be much better to buy some styrofoam and just build a redoubt like this diorama from Dybböl:

Travellera,

Thanks for the link, I have not seen that page before.

And yes, I am looking for 28mm, I should have mentioned that in my original post.

I also have a 1864 project on the shelf so guess I know the challenges you are facing :) Have you seen the1864 TV series? Some great inspiration there:

I have not seen the full series. I caught some previews. Definitely something I would like to watch. I have the a good chunk of figures painted at this point, I would just like to add some terrain that would be suitable.

I think the mora static fighting at Dybböl is less interesting than the battle of Sankelmark or the Danish counterattacks around Dybböl. You will then not have any need for earthworks:)

I agree. I will definitely set up games not involving earthworks, but thought it might be fun once in a while to use them
