2.Algerian Tirailluer from Team Miniatures
3.Gary Cooper as Beau Geste This is a kit created quite a few years ago fron Andrea Miniatures. I will send this off this week to be painted,

In my haste to post pictures of this new acquisition I woefully neglected to mention that without the kind and knowledgeable assistance of my good friend Martyn (aka GICOP) this project would probably never have come to fruition.

Thanks Martyn, your kindness and friendship are much appreciated. :salute::

I found this model of Maxwell from 1911 useful for my future diorama on the Mexican revolution for 25 euros in a shop selling old car miniatures. Such old models are very rare because there is no demand. It seems to me that the scale with the 1:32 toy soldiers is very satisfactory, even more compliant than those of some toysoldiers manufacturers.^&grin
I have started to repaint the whelle rims and I will repaint and weathering other parts ,of course, to make it more realistic...

I picked up the new First Legion Franco Prussian War Algerian Tirialleurs, and the John Jenkins Designs King Tiger Tank, which without question sets a new standard for armor in the hobby:

I just picked up the new TM Terrain Chasseurs a Pied:

This HINCLIFFE Napoleonic caisson kit arrived yesterday from the UK.





I think that this is the only metal kit of this essential piece of equipment that has been made.

I know that HISTOREX do make a plastic kit,


and CGB Mignot also make a painted set with horses,


but plan on setting this one up either on a gun position,
or being hauled by the HINCLIFFE team of horses that I already have towing a gun seen here......

When completed, I'll post in the Painted section in this Forum.

I just remembered that I saw this original French Napoleonic caisson in the Bundeswehr Military History Museum, Dresden on a trip in 2017.



It was interesting to see the colouring on the old wood, and I could read the engraving on the metal frame just next to the chain with '1809' engraved !!!

Nice buy

Here are the colours used in different countries during Napolean wars

Hi Mirof

Very useful list but Saxon Artillery was traditionally painted Dark Grey with Yellow details from 1700ish until the introduction of Field Grey just prior to WWI.

 

[Obee]

Today a box of 3 dead Scotsmen here .....



They are Stadden 54mm figures, but on closer inspection I may attempt to remove them from the bases and 'revive' them with my 'lick of paint' so they can join others of their regiment on the battlefield....

Using another of my favourite Red Tinplate Monsters (see post 3097) I have finally finished my new Albatros DIII in HECO style in the speculative markings of Karl Menckhoff whilst serving in in Jasta 3

A friend of mine has given me a couple of Stadden 54mm Model figures he bought in the Tradition of London Shop about 15 years ago, and never got around to painting.

He knew that I'd love to paint them and include them into my collection because I'm a collector of figures from these periods.



These are Prussian Grenadier Drummer 7 Years War and a pair of 'duelling' Drum Majors, French & British from the Napoleonic era.

I'm sure they will look good with my 'lick of paint' so I'll be sure to post an image when completed.

Hi! My last addtion is this group of 20 30mm german soldiers flats, not sure about the maker, my guess is that the were made in Germany in the 70s-80s, hope you like them!

Picked up a Forces of Valor weathered American Halftrack, love the detail, if you pick and chose the Forces of Valor vehicles you can get away with using with First Legion as the scale seems to be ok with certain Armor.

Had this old kit by Andrea done.Gary Cooper as Beau Geste.
