Hello,
Today, I’m once again showing you a few figures from antiquity. They come from the Czechoslovak youth magazine ABC. The theme is the Punic Wars, and alongside Republican Romans and Carthaginians, one of the famous war elephants is, of course, a must. The figures were illustrated by Premysl Kubela.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
Today I'm showing you some more figures from the Czechoslovakian ABC Magazine.
This time they are 40mm scale soldiers from the American Civil War. The figures are double-sided and were drawn (if I translated correctly) by Premysl Kubela. They were published in 1993 or 1994.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
today I'm showing you some figures that I was specifically asked about a while ago. They are the Trojan War warriors drawn by Premysl Kubela. This is the mythical conflict between Greek gods and heroes that Homer describes in his Iliad and which, depending on the interpretation, is placed in the late Bronze Age or the early Iron Age.
But you won't find a Trojan Horse or the beautiful Helen here, nor is Achilles. Instead, there are 50 early colourful warriors from the Greek Mediterranean.
These figures were printed in the Czechoslovakian ABC youth magazine in 1991 or 1992. Like other figures that appeared there, these are "pieced together," meaning that the figures are not one piece, but rather some arms and weapons have to be glued on separately. The typical round shields acquire a slight 3D effect. The figures are 55mm tall.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
Today I'm showing you another issue from the Czech youth magazine ABC. This time, it's figures of American airborne troops, from the initial trials of this branch of the military in 1940 to the end of World War II in 1945.
The figures were published in 1994 or 95, each showing a front and back view, and are about 6 cm tall.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
Today I'm showing you another very modern print from the Czech ABC magazine. As far as I know, this series of Wehrmacht figures was published sometime in the mid-1990s. I've already shown you the infantry, artillery, and anti-aircraft artillery figures and four other sheets with Czechoslovakian soldiers. The fourth sheet of German figures featured some Luftwaffe soldiers (pilots) and smaller-scale aircraft (Bf-109 and Ju-87).
The figures are drawn with front- und backsides and are approximately 6 cm tall.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
Today I'm showing you the third of four sheets on the German Wehrmacht from the Czech ABC magazine.
This sheet covers the Luftwaffe's anti-aircraft artillery. It features an 8.8cm anti-aircraft gun, ammunition crates and shell casings, as well as the crew consisting of an officer, a rangefinder, a telephone operator, and four artillerymen.
This sheet was printed sometime in the mid-1990s. The figures, like the entire series, are 6cm tall.
A noticeable printing error is a cyan-colored bar running through the helmets and caps on the backs of some figures.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
Today I'm showing you the second sheet (of four) of the German Wehrmacht from the Czech ABC Magazine.
This time: artillery soldiers with a field howitzer.
The soldiers correspond very well to the typical Wehrmacht uniforms of 1939 or 40, with their tunics with dark green collars, the high boots and the helmets with double-decals. The only thing that could be criticized are the red collar tabs; they didn't exist in this form.
Otherwise, these are very vividly drawn figures in 6cm scale.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
Today I'm showing you another sheet from a Czech ABC magazine.
It depicts nine two-page figures of German Wehrmacht soldiers in early field jackets, the typical uniforms of the 1939 and 1940 campaigns. These figures were published in 1994 or 1995. The figures are 6 cm tall.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
Today I can finally show you the last sheet of the 1938 Czechoslovak Soldiers series from ABC Magazine.
It took a few years, but thanks to a nice contact in the Czech Republic, I was finally able to get this sheet for my collection. In addition to six figures, two smaller-scale aircraft are also printed. The figures are about 6 cm tall.
Best regards,
Andreas
Czechoslovakian Artillery 1938
Hello,
today I'm showing you my last sheet from the series of Czechoslovakian soldiers from 1938 from ABC magazine.
If I remember correctly (I was able to buy the sheets about 10 years ago), the series consisted of a total of 4 sheets: infantry, cavalry, artillery and air force. Unfortunately I'm missing the Airforce one. The artillery sheet was probably published in 1993 or 1994. The figure size is 6cm.
Best regards,
Andreas
Czechoslovakian Cavalry 1938
Hello,
today I would like to show you another sheet of paper soldiers from the Czech ABC magazine. They were apparently printed there in 1994 or 1995.
This time there are 5 Czechoslovakian cavalrymen in the uniform from 1938. The size of the figures (riders) is 6cm and the figures are painted with front and back.
Best regards,
Andreas
Czechoslovakian Infantry 1938
Hello,
today I would like to show you a soldier's sheet from the Czechoslovakian/Czech youth magazine "ABC".
This page with beautifully drawn soldiers was printed there in 1993 or 1994. The soldiers are wearing the uniform of the Czechoslovakian infantry from 1938. The figure size is 6cm and there is a front and a back view.
Best regards,
Andreas
