More pictures and information available from the JJDUK website
The intriguing figure pictured below is part of John's marvellous Knights of the Skies range and depicts a German mechanic with a number of accessories necessary for his work. It would certainly add a bit of variety to any WW1 aircraft diorama display
The two figures pictured below are the latest additions to one of John's new ranges, the Seven years War focusing on the Battle of Leuthen, one of Frederick the Great's feats of military genius
The figures, like all the others planned for the series, are based on the famous Carl Rochling painting of the Prussian Guard storming the churchyard at Leuthen
At the Battle of Leuthen, fought on 5 December 1757, Frederick the Great's
Prussian army used maneouver and terrain to decisively defeat a much
larger Austrian army under Charles of Lorraine, thus ensuring Prussian
control of Silesia during the Seven Years' War
Of all of his battles, none shows Frederick's military abilities more
than the Battle of Leuthen. His leadership before, and throughout, the
battle show his capabilities as a military commander. The Battle of
Leuthen can truly be considered to be Frederick's masterpiece
The
range will be released over the course of 2012 and should include
figures to create an incredible set piece diorama faithfully mirroring
the painting. There is talk of a Church, or gate, and lots of advancing
Grenadiers, including the dynamic officer pictured. Based upon the
success of this range, John will consider the expansion of this Seven
Years War collection to include Prussian and maybe Austrian firing lines
and marching poses
The other releases in the series so far are pictured below
Happy hunting!
