German miners houses

Here some impressions of the houses I have build for German Revolutionary Unrest. They are made of plaster (all the brickwork) and plastic sheet (the roof).

I had made a master and taken a mould. So I could do several of them but only managed to make two of them.

The masters where made of foamsheet (the one you get in at the DIY as isolation) with the brickwork cuted in wiht a knife and a pen (as usual). Windows and doors where made of plasticcard and then a mould where taken.

Before I used the shape seen above I have made several houses out of foamsheet and foamcard.

 

An here are the original houses of some miners houses at the Ruhr.

Freikorps

Her are some closer shots of the Freikorps. All of them are Great War Miniatures exect the standardbearer. He is a conversion from a Coppelstone Russian.

German Revolutionary Unrest Conversions

To get some variety I have made some conversions. But I have only taken a few pictures. But you can guess what I have done to make Karl (on the left) and his evil twin Herrman (on the right)

Here are some conversions I have done with miliput and greenstuff. Some are as minor as a collar and an armband. But the kneeling one – who looks like the actor Marion Adorf (I will take a closer pic) – had his furry hat and vest removed and got some new clothes, oh and he was shaved. The origianl figure you can see at copplestone casting.

German Revolutionary Unrest

In the time between the Novemberrevolution 1918 until the end of 1923 there were several fights between the political Left and Right. Famous are the Spartakus Uprising in Berlin 1919 as well as the defeat of the council-republics in Bremen, Braunschweig and Munich, the generalstrike and armed actions against the Kapp-Putsch 1920, with it’s aftermath the Ruhr uprising, the Mitteldeutsche Aufstand (Central German Uprising) 1921 and the Hamburg Uprising in 1923. Also there were lots of fighting from Rightwing Groups at the Polish and Russian borders and coups.

For the refight on the tabletop I build up some revolutionary workers and as opponent some Freikorps. There are also some Sailor, but no picture at the moment.
