Thank you.

@Sandor: no worry. With these figures, together with some other, including the horsemen I´m showing in the other post, I´m going to build a diorama of a imperialist army on the march. But there are a lot figures waiting to be paint. More wagons, banners, men at arms and Landsknechts. So it will take some time until it would be finish, but I´m going to show you the painted figures here.

Yes!
When are you going to show these beautiful figures arranged in a diorama layout?
I think many of us would be eager to see that display!
And nice work again, Christoph!

Thank you.
@ Sandor: I have check Mr. Fechners homepage. The last wagon is not marked as sold to Schmalkalden. So I think the mould still belongs to Mr. Fechner. The order number is 158/11, "bespannter Leiterwagen, Burgunderzeit", the wagon of the first picture the same. Order number 188/19, "geschlossener Trosswagen mit Gespann".

Hello,


Sandor is right. The train of an army in the 16th und 17th century was a huge thing. Merchants who supplied the soldiers with all kinds of goods. The soldiers wives and even the childrens of the soldiers followed the army. Servants and so on. When Charles the Bold besieged Neuss in 1474  his camp was discribed as a huge town. At the end of the Thirty Years War the train was sometimes even bigger then the army itself.

Here is the next wagon, carrying a lot of entertainment.

Nice and very rarely shown figures!
However it is said that about 1/5th (or even higher) of the medieval armies was the "service personnel".
Thank you for showing!
