I am at heart, a history buff, and my interest in history includes reading history, visiting battlefield sites, watching movies about historical subjects, and a strong focus on Frederick the Great of Prussia and the Seven Years War.
For those of you who have ordered the wonderful Eureka Miniatures sets of Frederick the Great and Voltaire and are wondering how to paint the miniatures, here is a copy of the Rochling print to use as a painting guide.
I have the little portrait orintated paperback book about Frederidck with Rochling's paintings in it.They are superb and soooo atmospheric. If anyone hasn't seen it it is well worth seeking out- "Der Alte Fritz." One of my favourites is the illustration of the advancing Prussians looking battle worn with knees out of trousers and a real campaign look... I must look athte Eureka site asap!!! Alan
Are you going to get the chamber ensemble figures that Eureka just came out with also? I went to Fall-In with a friend of mine and he picked up the set - they are neat figures.
Neat picture! I remember the guided tour we took of Sans Souci Palace last summer talking about this particular visit (in German, no less) and my surprise at how much I understood. Happy Thanksgiving by the way!
