Title: Update to 1864 Danish
Post by: rct75001 on 07 May 2022, 06:13:27 AM
Having recently seen the great 1864 TV series I am tempted ....

But on the page for the 1864 Danes there is the following note "This range is one of our oldest now and will be replaced at some point in the future".

I do have enough to paint for the time being so if the update wan't too far away I would consider waiting - or more likely buy the Prussians.  Are there any plans on timing yet?

Thanks
Richard

They might be old, but they do look good!

Must paint that artillery and cavalry I bought during lockdown!

I'd hoped to have had them done by now but with everything else going on they've been put back a little.  Once our sculptor has taken a short break to catch up on his other clients I'll be asking him to get our Crimean ranges revamped first, and then we can take a look at the Danish. 

In the meantime, some of the earlier Schleswig figures will work but I wouldn't mix them in the same units as those older 1864 sculpts.

Thanks Leon.  I may wait and exercise my discipline muscle and paint what I have first.

Lord Speedy thanks for the photos - they do look good.

From me - none other than I have a huge 'discipline' muscle now  :D

But hopefully the question was directed elsewhere and a favourable smoke signal will be seen  ;)

Afraid not, endless Naps and other projects have taken up most of the sculptor's time.  It's still one to get onto but it'll be 2026 at the earliest.
