flats and fun

Love the French Artillery train pics, Ray. I especially like the drivers sitting side-saddle on their hores - with legs crossed over each other. Wouldn't mind having that set to paint for myself. Any idea on who/what/where??? jb

Ok Jb, As Usual the boys over on the International flat figure society have come thru: I thought these might be Mignot figures which it seems are always difficult to find but they are actually an Ochel which is an active firm in Germany.
Additional info:
the tross is designed as artillery and tross Louis XIV. ; in the Ochel list they are in the part 7-years-war (1756-1763);
french artillery. I think you can use the tross with the new figures of french artllery Louis XIV. edited by Glorious Empires.
The soldiers are 7-years-war uniforms.
The Artist is Douchkine

Cheers Ray - thanks for the info on those.

All fine with me at the mo...........as I'm currently on a visit to one of my daughters - in Cape Town SA. When I get out of the pool - I'll have a quick look online - to see whether they might be available as unpainted castings.

Recently had some success in finding a Napoleonic Artillery piece ( six horses, three riders plus cannon) from B&S Zinnfiguren, Leipzig - which looks good and is reasonably priced - but the usual snag has arisen..............they don't do Paypal - and suggested that I pay by IBAN - which as we both know is enormously expensive - and when added to shipping costs - is MORE than the actuall cost of the products being ordered!!

I'll wait 'til I get back to the UK - and try to work it out with them.

Nice! Particularly like the "Crecy" knights form Berliner Zinnfiguren. I remember we discussed these a while back - and tried to buy some from the manufacturer - without success.

Berliner Z has quite a few of these for sale in small lots - so might go down that route IF I can't get 'em any other way. Some great looking sets in the last couple of pics too. thanks for posting - I'll save some of the pics for use later as painting guides.

P.S. - Off to NZ in June - to see the Grand-kids - gotta keep the air-miles coming! jb
