Title: New Troops in Potzau!
Post by: olki on April 25, 2008, 01:33:16 PM: As you might know, I am working on a new epic photostory, which is placed in a fictional little country named Potzau. Timeline is between 1560 - 1680, so there´s plenty of space for Landsknechts, Curassiers, Condottieres and musketeers.....
So here are the first, swedish inspired (Gustav Adolphus II. army), hope you enjoy...

These are the heavy cavalry, curassiers or Potzau´s Ironsides.....

Post by: henry_martini on June 27, 2008, 12:51:39 PM: @olki: The 'simplicius simplicissimus' serial from the 70ies is finally available at amazon.de. I am very sure you will like the film, if you do not know it already.

I do like your theme, as you will imagine.

As you probably already know, the Major General's site is still one of my favorites ... :)

David hasn't updated his site for quite awhile now. He got married and moved out into the country. I sent him an email recently and did not get an answer. I hope that he's ok.

If you hear or read anything please let me know.

All the best,
Richard

Post by: cheng on October 03, 2008, 03:30:35 AM: nice customs Olki ! (sorry if I dont connect with them...I know nothing about this part of history :P )

and my turn to ask....is the fur vest on the ex-grave-robber on the far right of your newest customs, original from those new egyptian sets too? they will look good on wandering samurai(s)!
Title: Re: New Troops in Potzau!
Post by: olki on October 03, 2008, 01:11:48 PM: Thanks Cheng, and no, the fur vest is from the DS Set with the gauls. The Egytians only have those other black accessories, like the belts...
