Hesse Darmstadt





Swiss Guard regiment in the service of the French King not sure of the era here, need to translate description...

 
These are really nice hand colored prints, French Pioneer Corps , the Franco Prussian war 1870-71





And Denmark 1870



 
Another set migrates into appropriate digs... Confederate command consultation



 
Added another of the hand colored and autographed Eugène Lelièpvre prints, French Dragoon

 
Nice collection and thanks for sharing. So where are you getting these? Are they new or old rarities? I hadn't looked at flats in a while and it seems like folks are making more orders these days. Although I have noticed a group that gets hold the legal rights to a mold from a century ago and markets a "re-issue" or something misleading like that. I forget the outfits name...anyway, nice stuff

Hello JK,
Thanks for your kind words, I get my castings from a combination of Manufacturers and Ebay worldwide, I have an artist is St. Petersburg, Russia that does most of my commission work as I haven't got the skills to paint to the level of artistry I collect, having said that there is still much room quality wise above what I collect if only money was not an issue. the vast majority of what I have are not the antique sets, though I have been doing my best to chronicle the wonderfully wide and diverse variety of sets available on the 30mm napoleonic thread I am running concurrently. The hobby is not nearly at the heights it once was if you've seen the older sets I've been displaying on the 30mm thread, there just amazing!
You mention other companies picking up rights and molds and this is true, though I don't see it as a negative. For the most part an artists work are kept together and are often available in limited runs, usually for economic reasons. If these centralized repositories where not there the molds and collection would probably be spread to the 4 winds and availability would disappear to most the public.
I think it's a great niche hobby with a rich artistic history and if you enjoy the search and the chase, well Game is plentiful!
If you would like some specific info let me know and I'll see what i can do,
Ray
 
Well, I explained how my parcel was lost in the whirl pool that is the post office, thought I'd never see this package but when I got home late last night there it was and boy am I a happy man!
Thank you to Jim Horan for following up and getting these to me, he is currently selling off a flats collection on ebay for a friends next of kin who died recently.
this set is an extra gift he threw in for all the trouble, way more than i expected or deserved.

Another set in the long lost box Austrian infantry, 12 pieces including officer, flag bearer, drummer, pioneer and infantry all in greycoats







 
Another small set from the Kingdom of Wurrtemburg, really nicely done, sometimes i don't know how these artist do it, see the model number of each casting painted on the base?
