New GNW moulds from Prince August!!!

Posted by Jesse on 04 Feb 2011, 12:02

This is the wrong scale for this forum but as an old tinn figure enthusiast I just have to inform you of this amazing news! The producer of white metal moulds, Prince August, has released four new moulds (six new figures) in their Karoliner series (Karoliner - the nickname of the swedish soldiers in the times of Charles XII/Karl XII, ie during the Great Northern War). The moulds include 4 new pikemen poses and two poses of mounted grenadiers. The mounted grenadiers looks more like russian troops, but that is not a bad thing since the Prince August's Great Northern War moulds lacks cavalry for the russians (until now!). They haven't released any new moulds from this era for ages! And these new ones looks great!! :love: :love: :love: They have even included the possibility to mould battlefield accessories in the moulds: spare muskets and swords.

I grew up with the Prince August moulds and played with their tinn figures long before I discovered 1/72 plastics (which were in very short supply in Sweden during the 80s and 90s in my small hometown...) .

:shock: :shock: :shock: That's news indeed! How old can the old ones be? 50-60 years old or something like that? Don't have that many moulds, but I do have some of them. Maybe paint up some of those soldiers I've got. :-D Thanks! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
