General Discussion / Primer
« Last post by John Alberts on Today at 09:19:20 PM »
Seeking recommendation or suggestions for a paint brand to prime metal flats.  The brand using now I have found to rub off the metal, it is too fragile.  It is enamel as well which is surprising.

I am fully supporting Snagy, the painting is done with extreme attention to details, very clean painting, excellent expession given to the face, with proud! sufficent shadows to give a volume expression to the body.


An excellent painting making this character very well happy of his rank.
Congratulation to the work and the transposition from a probable canvas painting to a flat, looking like a 3D figurine !!!

Thanks Kroi. Nicely painted figures.


Flesesee has a few of the Ottoman figures, but most must be with another owner. For those who are interested, Flesensee has a large number of Timm's "Inquisition and Dutch Revolt" figures.

Zinnfiguren Flesensee has got some of the Timm-moulds. I can't say whether the Ottoman types too.

For Sale/Trade/Wants / Walter Timm's Turkish War Figures

 I found the article in BFFS Journal 156 entitled "The Janissary Corp of Turkey" to be very informative. Unfortunately, I noticed that the additional information on where to get Janissary figures did not mention the figures of the German editor Walter Timm. I suppose it is because the writer did not know what became of these figures. They were last with FECHNER and were listed on pages 176-179 of his catalog. (See attachment.)


Doe anyone know who is the present owner of these molds?

First German Troops in the American Revolutionary War # 2 they printed it . Next Greek resistance in World War II, ground tubes the Korean War  vol 1 is the North Koreans, The Red Chinese armies. Next is US Army and Marines. they offer few of a war that isn’t covered much uniform wise . To finish  is Wars in Central Europe from 1918 to 1921 The  Austrian Hungarian army  If you are Wargamer you have lots armies to chose from and well bring you up October . Not much  Helton & Company still weighing for volume 8 Louis XIV Wars . They also have other you would like. So  that’s it for now Willie
