Eric

Now a little scene issued by an AFCFEF member
Engraved by Rieger from a picture by Maurice Leloir
Eric

An other little scene with Cardinal Richelieu and his cats, and some King's musqueteers
Eric

Hello Eric,
again very nice.
Where did you get the musqueteer standard bearer? As far as I know Fechner only offers the officer, the drummer and one musqueteer.
Christoph
-
The standard bearer is a small transformation of the trooper
Eric
-
Well done Eric,
just as you told me I mentioned that the horse is the same.
I´m quiet sure that there once was a standard bearer to this set, I think I have seen one on a photo but can´t remember where.
Christoph
-
Yes Christoph, there are two standard bearers shown in the book "Miniaturen" about the Raoul Gerard collection, available at Scholtz
But I am not sure they were ever engraved, as the trumpeters
Eric

Hello Eric,
yesterday evening I remembered where I saw the photo of the standard bearer. It was in the new book of the Zinnfigurenfreunde Leipzig about the 30 years war.
http://www.zinnfigurenfreunde-leipzig.de/zfl-a2.htm
When I checked it out I came to notice that someone had done the same as you and modified the trooper figure. So sadly no standard bearer.
But by the way: it is a fantastic book. Hundreds of photos of well painted figures of the 30 years war.

I keep exploring Louis XIII time with some "Gardes Françaises"
An officer, a fifer,a drummer and a standard bearer
A few more to come
Eric
-
Very nice!
Christoph
-
Nice figures and excellent paintwork, Eric!
I also like the modified figure of the standard bearer.
I am afraid I ought to make it as well!! :P

I would be interested in buying the book "Das Heerwesen des Dreissigjahrigen Krieges dargestellt in Zinnfiguren", that was published by the Zinnfigurenfreunde Leipzig (it was mentioned by Christoph below).
On the website [size=0px]http://www.zinnfigurenfreunde-leipzig.de/zfl-a2.htm (http://www.zinnfigurenfreunde-leipzig.de/zfl-a2.htm)[/size][/color] I could not find the way to order the book.
The Kontakt-site is not ready yet, there is no information.
I only found on the Impressum-site the address of Mr. Schmidtchen, so I tried to contact him - but I received no answer.
Can you advice me please?!
Thank you.
Sandor
-
The book can also be bought from Berliner Zinnfiguren
Eric
-
Thank you, Eric.
Sandor
-
A great book!!!
-
B.t.w.:
Is there anywhere available Louis XIII. mounted figure for purchase?
(not considering the eBay).
Thanks.
Sandor

I've just received the fantastic book Das Heerwesen des 30-Jahrigen Krieges dargestellt in Zinnfiguren (The army of the 30 years war depicted in pewter figures) from Mr. Torsten Arndt of Zinnfigurenfreunde Leipzig.
Christoph has right: it is really a fabulous book and it is a must for those who are interested in the Thirty Years War / flat figures.
I also have to say that Mr. Arndt is a very nice gentleman and very helpful person.
Sandor

Hi Sandor
Could you tell me how I could get in touch with Torsten Arndt to buy the book ?
Thank you
Eric
-
Hi Eric,
I used the next address:
torsten1813arndt@web.de
mailto:torsten1813arndt@web.de (torsten1813arndt@web.de)
Sandor

Thank you Sandor
Eric

Some personalities of the time
First, from left to right : Anne d'Autriche, queen of France
Marie de Médicis, mother of Louis XIII
Leonor Caligaï, wife of Concini
Concino Concini, Marie de Médicis favorite
Second : François de Bonne de Lesdiguières, Maréchal de France and last Connétable, and a trumpeter
Eric
-
Lovely work Eric!
I particularly impressed by your outstanding and uniform fleur de lys which I can't seem to paint in any scale to save my life. Sadly I also am very fond of French medieval - revolution and am positively swimming in fleur de lys to paint...

Again very nice!
Hope to see more soon ;-)
The book is a must for everyone interested in flats and thirty years war. I´m sure you will like it Eric.
Christoph
-
You are the Gran Maestro of present time, Eric!
Beautiful work!!

Hi Willie,
I can get all the three booklets (price for all the three is 3*2550 HUF /24 Euro/ + postal costs to you).
The postal costs is up to the weight of the three booklet, but I think it is between 10-20 Euro.
You can transfer the overall when I have them sent to you.
The timing is:
about 3-4 working days till I get them in hand plus
1 day for packaging, plus
3-5 wds for the post to your address.
Let me know if you want them.

Hey Eric !
Sorry for my delayed comment. This painting is superb and the figures are original.By the way, who provided them to you ? What are the arms of Lesdiguières on the trumpet cloth ?Richard
-
Hello Richard
The personalities come from the Scholtz Mode serie (don't worry, no your's !)
The "Connétable" and trrumpeter are old Muller figures, Frank engraving
I join a picture of Lesdiguières coat of arm
Eric

Thanks Eric !Richard

Since the wonderful works of Eric made appetite I purchased the Musketeer figures and start to "work" on them.
Here is my first one.
Of course I should like to avoid any comparison between my moderate work to that of the Maestro - anyway any critical comments are welcome.
See you at Kulmbach ;D !!!
Sandor

Keep on Sandor, it will be nice to meet you in Kulmabach
Eric

Three more figures for this period
Josias Rantzau a great captain in the service of France
A trumpeter with Tutenne coat of arms and livery and a Cardinak's guard
Eric
-
A tweak here and there and your on the way Sandor! liven the horse with and the brim of the hat and your almost there, Eric can point you the right way :)
But another great 30mm painting Eric, I would advice if you ever get the chance to look over Eric's shoulder when he's panting do it, you will learn lots ;D
-
Very nice.
Rantzau was a very interesting person. He first was in swedish service and then went to France where he became a marchall in 1645. He was wounded many times and as you can see he missed one eye, one leg, one ear, one arm...
Christoph
-
A few more Gardes Françaises
Old Neckel figures now at Fechner's I think
Eric
-
Nice paintwork as usual!
I like them.
Sandor
