Hello, da Hugh ...
In 28mm metal, my friends and I are putting together miniatures for the Franco-Prussian War. Maybe another period PM should consider.
Actually, Playmobil has given us the basic ingredients for creating our own Franco-Prussian War figures. But, as you've suggested, it would be wonderful if Playmobil really made some sets from that period!
All the best,
Richard
Wonderful Richard, but to do the FPW, we would need many of the same type klickies (hint, hint, Playmobil... sales...), I suspect that we would need Officers, Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery sets for both the French and the Prussians.
If you add in later sets the Russians, Austrians, Bavarians, etc, one could do dioramas of the Franco-Austrian War, the Prussian-Austrian War as well as the Franco-Prussian War. Many beautiful Klickies.
