We are a group of Enthusiasts from all over the world, mostly Germany, who create historical battles in scale 1:72.
As we do this since more than 10 years we thought it is time for our own blog.
Being a historical enthusiast I wanted to fulfill my dream of producing my own figures in this scale too. So I started working with several sculptors to produce exotic figures in 1:72 which I fear nobody else would bring on the market.
Organising my digital archive, I just found again this link, Great photos of Tirallieurs Anamites, Tonkinoise and some guard units. Very useful for my growing French army to fight the Chinese and Anamites:-)
Many thanks for the link! I will go for this book of course.
Yes figures are available now. First the six Anamites I already have shown on the blog. Then we want to do more Vietnamese, in particular working through the whole illustrations from the Foundry book. French later.
"...in particular working through the whole illustrations from the Foundry book."
Oh wow, that sounds fantastic. Guess I won't have to ask what else you've got planned.
Pardon me for asking, but how much does it cost you for the sculpts? Elhiem Figures offers a very reasonable sculpting service, at GBP 20 a fig, although in Matt's case he gets to keep the rights to producing the figure (which might not be what you are looking for).
Oh I have two different versions of sculptors. One is working for free but I have to buy at least 50 figures of each pose. The others all charge 80 euros for a master.
In case you don't already know, Hocquard's " War and Peace in Hanoi and Tonkin" is another great source for illustrations, particularly battle scenes.

More importantly though, will you be releasing a range of suitable figs?
