A couple of days ago I was rather gobsmacked to to look at my Facebook feed and read a post by someone lamenting the lack of a von Zieten personality figure across the 28mm spectrum. All I could do was to just shake my head in wonderment since Minden Miniatures has not one figure, but TWO ZIETEN PERSONITY FIGURES.
So for your viewing pleasure I present pictures of both the mounted and dismounted version of Minden Zieten figures.

| Zieten is the figure base that is second from the left. Frederick of course is in the center. |
Oh, and by the way, Minden offers the only Marshall Maurice de Saxe riding in his wicker carriage at Fontenoy figure. Simply put, if you are looking for 18th Century military personality figures, then Minden Miniatures has the largest selection of such figures by a wide margin over any other manufacturer of 28mm figures. That’s a fact.
By the way, let’s dispense with all of this copyright nonsense that we see elsewhere; if you want to copy any pictures on my blog then feel free to do so.

Please click on the pictures to enlarge your view and look at these wonderful Richard Ansell sculpts.
And great figures they are too, the best around that's for sure!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I won't copy your photos, but I will check my stock of painted (and unpainted) Minden personalities and order a pack or two to plug a few holes. One can never have enough command personalities in the collection or on the table. IN much the same way as your artillery pieces, crews, limber teams, and wagons, lots of mounted command is more realistic based on portrayals in old prints and paintings. Always lots and lots of subordinate officers riding along with the generals or galloping across the battlefield at breakneck speed. Captain Nolan anyone?

A Google search brings up several images of your Zieten figures, also Foundry figures.

I don't think some people understand the internet Jim.
I regularly see people bemoan the lack of certain wargame items, books and figures but they have not done a simple Google search. other search engines are available.
