If you want to convert or scratchbuild your own figures from the Franco-Pruissian War, there's a great websitre with excellent info. Visit www.kaisersbunker.com. There are color prints, uniforms, insiginia, pickelhaubes, etc. Great website!

Hey Bill,

Thanks for the link..i might just try scratchbuilding/converting....in 54mm scale is there someone you use for heads/equipment for any of your projects?

I've always been a ww2 figure painter and am beginning to change...see the light if you will

I use me. I make all that stuff from scratch. If I had more time - or an army of "assistants" I would get more of it cast up.

Hi Bill, I think that would be one heck of a well selling line if you did start casting.

Franco-Prussian stuff: The German firm of Heinichen-Bayer released a vast number of FP figures in the late eighties; at one time I owned at least a dozen including mounted cavalry. While I am afraid the company is no longer around, maybe the figures can be had. I still have a mounted Imperial Kurrassier from them and would part with it quite reasonably.--Steve
