The first miniatures being sculpted are the Dwarves. As stated the Dwarves are based on the Germans and Bob Olley is sculpting up the Schutztruppen in their distinctive slouch hats. Four dollies have been sculpted, three other ranks and one officer body which are pictured here.
Bob has also sculpted three separate Schutztruppen heads and one in a pith helmet which will be used for a hunter figure. Once these dollies have been moulded for the Schutztruppen, the plan is to convert them into Seebataillon dollies (there is not a lot of difference, most obviously the rear webbing). The Seebataillon will be wearing pith helmets.
The game will not be a purely military one and I want to include some of Umbongodwongoland's famous explorers and hunters hence the inclusion of the Dwarf hunter in the planned range.
Great miniatures - but just what you would expect from a master sculptor like Bob.
