Whose make are the Imperial German figures? I recently painted up a group of Armies in Plastic's Imperial Germans at the request of my Grandson (we do war games). The Germans are the Blue Army and the Brits are the Red Army.

Schildkröte company figures

added several shelves for soldiers. but there’s still not enough space

this helmet is frankenstein. I would not buy it. Well, if only for parts cheaply

Some variant are known also on M1915 version of garde stern. The central part of the scroll could be "Mit Gott" or "Fur Koenig", obviously the other inscriptions of the circular scroll are rotated accordingly.

that is, it’s just a kind of guards star?

if it were magnetic it would not be preserved at all

My hypotesis about the M1915 eagle is based on the fact that neusilber will never be attacked by rust as the eagle pictured. If you look at the superior edges of the wings the are not smooth but rough because of some kind of rust aggression. I am 95% sure that eagle posted is magnetic. no it’s not m...

Friends help identify the guard emblem with shako. Why the inscription is a little different from the rest the emblem has a silver color.

Dear friends, tell me by the find from the battlefields. Found an eagle in cupronickel (Neusilber) what kind of regiment wore such an eagle? 97923847_2653729548287885_621209934956068864_n.jpg 96844272_617508175516270_1188655765653553152_n.jpg 96792476_296620771329931_7250113397914599424_n.jpg 967341...

Wow! Pickelhauben, raupenhelme, miters, beskozirka, military miniatures and castles! Mirrors my own interests, and much of my own collection. I wonder if we're related?

Steve

Sergei1877 - they are 28mm conversions. They represent the 5th company of the 3rd battalion of German Marines in China 1914.

I recently bought Hessian infantry at a scale of 28 mm for the period of the US War of Independence. I want to try to do it. I’ll post a photo, if interested

here is a little of what managed to collect something in his collection. The main course in my collection is the soldiers of various scales, which I collect since childhood

When I started this hobby, my aim was to preserve history. We all guard our collection well so as not to allow any fakes that flow into our collection. I do have to say that it is amazing skill but my first reaction was - if this item flow into the market as original then our line of defence is dow...

I certainly agree. It is not a fake. It is a beautiful reproduction that has not been presented as an original. What a fantastic demonstration of a set of skills that few possess. I am in awe Sergei1877.

Thank you for understanding

Pardon me if I may sound too offensive. Wouldn't one call this re-work a fake? Well, did I write somewhere that this is the original? This is a reproduction. If I sold this thing giving it away as the original, it would be fake and fraud. And so I just made a reproduction, well, for example, for th...

Sergei....you made this piece? Or you restored it?? Awesome work either way!

I did this completely myself. Buying a hussar hat is simply expensive for me. Even in poor condition, they are very rare. I decided to sew myself

great work
