Swedish peasant soldiers.
Most of the figures come from Cortum.

Very nice tones, sweet.  I like also the MNM of the metal ….

I recognize the province of Dalecarlia's coat of arms on the flag

Thanks for the comments. I should correct myself. The figures are published by Christian Carl. One figure is marked EH/To = Ernst Henniges and Gerhard Tobinnus?

The figure in the middle is now edited by Dr. Dau, see here:

https://www.zinnfiguren-fleesensee.de/bauer-mit-axt-zeigend.html

On his homepage Dr. Dau mentioned that the moulds were formerly from Mr. Tobinuus.
The figures are all drawn by Mr. Martin Block and goes well together with the figures you can get from the Zinnfigurenklause Freiburg, edited years ago by Mr. Lehmann.

Thanks for the information about Dau. I have painted some of Lemann's figures before. The 4 on the right are Lemann's figures and the 2 on the left are from Golberg.

The new group is also very nice!
I agree Erich: the colours are really well defined.
Nice work!

My wife says I have a very dull color palette. She is my most important advisor. I may try to paint something more colorful.




Today I have learned something new. I was actually born on Geek Pride Day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek_Pride_Day. So now I have a real reason to celebrate May 25 in the future.
