The french artillery piece....it's the cleverest piece of military modelling I've seen in any format, just breathtaking.

These are very nice little groups. I have not seen them before and I will certainly look out for them in the future. Keep them coming Charles. This was the whole point of this thread to show figures that are not shown in catalogues. Please if anyone has any Heinrichsens by L. Frank please post them.

Heinrichsens again. I believe they are all engraved by Frank, but I stand to be corrected. More eye candy, even though fully clothed! Quick snaps with the iPhone but you get the idea.

Heres a few early Franks.
The Cloth of Gold figures are poor castings of what must have been beautiful engravings
The bridge of Arcole is another small scale figure group. As you can see the style is very simplistic with very little detail of folds in cloth as one expects on later Franks. The early figures (certainly before the early 1900's) had a tendency of being very slim in appearance. This was probably because the designers drawings at that time depicted toy soldiers in this way.
The last group shows the three monarchs at Leipzig. It is clear to see how the the design has moved from being out of proportion to a more recognisable scale.
