28mm Französische Zouaven 1870/71

Hello,

here is the third Zouaven set from Bavaria Miniatures. This time it's six soldiers with rifles over their shoulders. That completes the Zouaven sets, and I'm currently printing a set of Guard Voltigeurs.

Best regards,

1/30 Französische Artillerie 1792-1802 - Update

Hello,

unfortunately, I barely had any time for my hobby last week. But I'd still like to give a small update on my French Revolutionary Artillery. All of the artillerymen from Kozak Miniatures are now printed (7 in total). I've even finished painting two of them, and one figure has been "converted." The artillery was normally supported by infantry auxiliaries who carried ammunition or helped with gun manipulation. Since I want to make this set as "colorful" as possible, I converted one figure into an infantryman by removing the gun barrels from the ammunition pouch and the "carrot" from the hat.

The bigger problem was finding a suitable cannon. I found a Gribeauval 12pdr on cults3d (the designer/seller is called "Bluesand") that seemed quite usable. The basic dimensions and details were reasonably good. However, I also changed or added quite a few details, or, for example, completely replaced the wheels. There are still a few things I need to edit and print, but overall I'm happy with it. I'll definitely present the finished gun in a separate post.

Best regards,

Andreas

28mm Französische Grenadiere 1870/71 - Command Set

Hello,

here's another set of goodies for Stephan—or his mold maker. This time it's the Guard Grenadier Commando Set. I really like them and they are definitely on my list of figures I will enlarge.

Best regards and Happy Easter,

Andreas

I've created my own Facebook group!

Hello,

For several weeks now, I've been looking for a Facebook group dedicated to hand-painted 1/30 or 1/32 scale figures. There are a few Toy Soldier groups for this scale, but they often focus on pre-painted (or unpainted) figures, or are limited to a specific manufacturer or similar.

 Workbench photo: Kozak Miniatures Russian Musketeer 1812 (painted), Bavaria Miniatures French Guard Voltigeur 1870/71, Bavaria Miniatures Bavarian Artilleryman 1870/71, Just Some Miniatures German Kavallerieschütze 1939, Kozak Miniatures French Revolutionary War Artilleryman, Bavaria Miniatures French Guard Grenadier 1870/71 (painted)

That's why I've decided to create my own Facebook group! This is my very first time doing this, and I'm curious to see if anyone will find their way there and if it works out as I envision.

The group's name is: "Painting 1/30 & 1/32 Toy Soldiers" - and here is the link:
