New del Prado: The Colonial Collection (1 Viewer)

[DearthCo]

Another new del Prado offering: The Colonial Collection
Three figures from their latest collection. I don't know when these will be available; they will initially be sold via news stands in Europe then hopefully in the States shortly thereafter. 1:32 scale, metal, matte finish.

Italian Askari

24th Foot

French Foreign Legion

Pretty, but I was expecting "Colonial" as in America in the 1750s-1770s

Prost!

Excellent news!

By the way where did you find these photographs?
Best wishes,

Yes, sorry for the poor quality, I'm not the best photographer. I sculpted these for Del Prado -- I'm working on this series and their Gettysburg series (along with other sculptors). I'm Doug Dearth and I am the owner of Order of Battle (a tiny company) but sculpt for several companies.

Thanks for writing ~dOUg

Hi Doug,
Thank you for the response. I was scouring EBAY UK, FR, and IT looking for these figures. Are there any Gurkhas in the offing? Do you know when these figures will be available for sale in Europe?
Thanks

I thought Del Prado had gone out of business a few years ago.

I guess they must have been re-born.

These look quite good, 2 of them will fit in to my present series, need to track these down eventually{sm3}, Robin.

I sure hope so! Did some treatments for two other lines: "Police from Around the World" and "Football (soccer to us Yanks) Heros" but those may not see the light of day. And the "Days of Gettysburg" line which is underway and can be viewed on this very forum! ~dOUg

I had 80 Del Prado figures and while they were well sculpted, I felt the square bases made them 'stature' like. These new ones have much better bases IMO which makes the figure more realistic for me., Robin.

I see TF shop has these now, look good, just wondering size wise, if they are 54mm they will not fit with my present ranges which are more 60mm. Have to wait to see if some else is able to compare/combine. Robin.

Nice work Doug. I have a few of your figures and the are very well done.

Hi Villagehorse,
The Del Prado are slightly taller and " fatter" so when you put a regular 54mm next to them the Del Prado guys kind of stick out.....But on a give or take go along.
