A 17th CENTURY "ARMY"
JUST AN AMAZING DISPLAY OF PREISER FIGURES FROM GERMANY
THESE PLASTIC FIGURES ORIGINALLY CAME IN KIT FORM. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS METICULOUSLY ASSEMBLED, AND HAND PAINTED EACH PIECE. EVEN ADDING DETAILS SUCH AS RIFLE STRAPS, AND LANDSCAPING THE BASES OF ALL PIECES. SOME OF THE FIGURES ARE ARRANGED IN ROWS OF 3 OR 4 SOLDIERS, ATTACHED TO A LANDSCAPED BASE. HOWEVER, THEY STILL HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL, LANDSCAPED BASES ATTACHED, AND CAN BE EASILY SEPARATED INTO SINGLE BASED SOLDIERS
( I IMAGINE THAT THE CONFIGURATION OF 3 OR 4 FIGURES ATTACHED TO ONE BASE WAS FOR WAR-GAMING )
THE CANNONS ARE METAL AND VARIED, AND WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THEM AS WELL; PLUS THE HAND MADE WATER BUCKETS AND THE LANDSCAPED TERRAIN.
THE TENTS, HAND MADE, ARE ALL OF REAL CLOTH. INSIDE EACH "PUP" TENT ARE 2 BLANKETS ON THE GROUND FOR 2 SOLDIERS TO LAY ON.
ALL THE FLAGS HAVE BEEN ACCURATELY PAINTED.
ALL OF THE MANY ACCESSORIES ARE ON LANDSCAPED BASES - CRATES, BARRELS, RIFLES, ETC.
THE "ARMY" IS PRIMARILY "AUSTRIAN", ALONG WITH A "PRUSSIAN" ARTILLERY BATTERY.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO "USE" THEM, I WOULD SAY THEY CAN WORK FOR EVERYTHING FROM THE SEVEN YEARS WAR ( FRENCH & INDIAN WAR IN NORTH AMERICA ), TO THE REV WAR, TO EARLY NAPOLEONIC.
OTHERWISE, PUT THEM ON A SHELF, OR IN A DISPLAY CASE AND ADMIRE THEM.
"THE OFFICERS CALL AND TENT"
 |
 |
TERRIFIC CENTERPIECE TO THE SET INCLUDES VARIOUS HIGH RANKING OFFICERS HOLDING A COUNCIL OF WAR AROUND A MAP COVERED TABLE. THE LARGE OFFICERS TENT IS IN THE BACKGROUND.
CAMP FOLLOWERS
OK, SO I REALIZED WHEN I STARTED TAKING THE PHOTOS THAT THE ROOF OF THE LARGE TENT WAS REMOVABLE.
BUT I WASN'T QUITE PREPARED FOR WHAT WAS INSIDE THE TENT!!
 |
SINCE THIS WEBSITE IS "FAMILY RATED", I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF COVERING THE TWO "CAMP FOLLOWERS" FOR THE PHOTO. I GUESS THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAS GETTING PRETTY BORED PAINTING JUST SOLDIERS!?
THE OTHER DETAILS INSIDE THE TENT ARE GREAT! ORIENTAL RUG, TABLE WITH FLINTLOCK PISTOL, LAMP, BATTLE PLANS, BOOKS & MAPS, WALL MIRRORS, CURTAINS AND ETC.
SO, NOW I START TO GET CURIOUS. THERE IS ALSO ONE TENT THAT IS LARGER THAN THE "PUP" TENTS - I CALL IT THE "NCO" TENT. AND SURE ENOUGH, MORE "CAMP FOLLOWERS"!
 |
OK - HERE'S A HARMLESS ONE - A SOLDIER AND HIS DOG!!

"THE CASTLE"
 |
 |
( SHOWN WITH FIGURES FROM ABOVE SET - NOT INCLUDED )
THIS HAND MADE & ASSEMBLED, HAND PAINTED CASTLE WAS MADE IN THE EARLY 1990's BY:
1) A BICYCLE REPAIRMAN WHO SET UP THE BICYCLE WHEEL HIDDEN BENEATH THE REVOLVING "ROAD".
2) A CARPENTER WHO CUT THE WOOD PIECES AND BOLTED IT ALL TOGETHER.
3) AN ELECTRICIAN WHO GOT "THE ROAD" TO REVOLVE AND THE UPPER WINDOW LIGHTS TO COME ON BY EITHER (A) PLUGGING INTO A WALL SOCKET, OR (B) BY BATTERIES HIDDEN INSIDE.
4) THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO FINISHED IT OFF WITH HAND PAINTED DETAILS AND HEAVY CARDBOARD TOWERS.
THE CASTLE COMES WITH SEPARATE STREET LAMPS, LADDER, "BRONZE" STATUES, TREES, STONE COLUMNS, FENCING AND MORE.
VERY, VERY CLEVER!!
THE CASTLE IS ROUGHLY 34" ACROSS, 34" DEEP, AND 37" HIGH
IT IS NOT VERY HEAVY, JUST AWKWARD; TWO PERSONS ARE NEEDED TO MOVE IT WITHOUT DAMAGING IT, I WOULD SAY.
WE CANNOT SHIP THIS PIECE!!
IT WOULD JUST BE TOO HARD, TOO EXPENSIVE AND PROBABLY CAUSE DAMAGE IF SHIPPING WERE ATTEMPTED.
IF INTERESTED, YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME HERE TO SEE IT, AND TAKE IT WITH YOU IF PURCHASED.
