Title: Frauendorf - French soldiers in lager
Post by: marko on October 10, 2018, 09:36:19 PM
A set purchased via Berliner Zinnfiguren on EBay which I confess being as giddy as a school about.  (Pretty amusing for a 58 year old to get excited about receiving toys but, some of us never grew up...)

I really enjoy these sets of troops in camp, Frauendorf also has some lovely Dragoon as well.  (I have also seen renditions of Cossacks, Frederick the 1st and soldiers, landschechts, Army of the Blue King and Wallenstein in camp to name a few.)

Here is a lovely example from Bistulfi

Very Nice set.
If you want to add to it B&S Zinnfiguren has some figures that will complement the set.
Kindest regards

Yes indeed the Frauendorf Infantry camp includes very nice figures. And the Thiel camp figures complement these very well. B&S has made some sets out of overtaken Thiel moulds (in part engraved by Ludwig Frank) and some additional engravings.

Do not overlook the Thiel moulds that are with Fechner. See page 27 of their catalog. (Ordering on their website is easy.)
