Title: Krog figures
Post by: marko on August 20, 2013, 06:22:23 PM

One piece of news I did not hear mentioned from our Kulmbach contingent was the fate of the slates from Krog.  Was there any news as to a new owner on these wonderful figures?  Hopefully someone has purchased them and they are back on the market again...


My collection seems to have a definite liking for this Editor along with Western Miniatures.

Dear Mark,

they will be back as far as I know. The Leipzig collectors community has overtaken most of the moulds (exept the Murten sets) . So these figures will be available again though I don´t know any schedule.

Best

Alexander

Brian, just to make you envious I have unearthed my set and started painting them, that's a massive project for me. I had quite a bit of cleaning up to do, and there are areas of limited detail but I think they are serviceable. All are now undercoated and ready. When I have done a bit more I will post some on the "Workbench".
I would think these are very Anglophile and maybe not a subject dear to the German hearts, and the moulds will need some work. So I am not sure they will be a priority, but there are some great figures amongst them.
By the way, if anyone out there knows how to get hold of any of the Russians from that set, I would be very pleased to find out.

Here are a couple of lancers, just started on the horses. A grey for the trumpeter, a light chestnut for the trooper.

I thought the Leipzig collectors had snaffled them. If you know any different Brian I would consider making an offer for the moulds myself.

I'm sure someone can give a clue to contacting the appropriate people to ask questions,   The Leipzig collectors maybe?

So no one got any ideas of who to talk to?

On the subject of the Light Brigade set, does anybody have the line drawings? I have the figures, and the list in the catalogue and the Gottstein book, but have never seen the illustrations.
