Kieler Zinnfiguren

I have been painting some more Kieler Zinnfiguren for my Freiberg project.

First up a unit a Prussian Frei battalion.


I have painted these as the Frei-Infanterie von Lüderitz and these were part of Kleists command at Freiberg.

For my next unit I decided on a paint restoration on the remaining old factory painted Kieler Austrian Grenadiers I bought on ebay. 


This is how they looked before my restoration.

I have tried to recreate how they might have looked when they were bought in Vienna in 1936. I repainted, touched up and tidyed up the paint work.

Finally I have painted an Austrian officer again using a Kieler figure.

    I was just admiring these lovely figures on your post on LAF, great work once more and a very nice restoration job on the Austrians, superb work all round!

    There was a chap from the North East at Warfare last weekend with a huge SYW flats game; he previously put it on at Salute.
    Lots of discussion and envy on the VWC for SYW flats.
    As always nice work on yours.

    These look excellent. Flats do have a splendid look to them. I am enjoying this project greatly .

    More loveliness Mark…
    I particularly like the Frei Battalion… That pale blue dark blue combination is very attractive.

    All the best. Aly

    I assume you mean the battle of Freiberg in which case Freiburg
    is incorrect
