I am fascinated by the second half of the 19th century for a while already, of course it finds its way into the hobby sooner or later! Even though i painted a Prussian infantryman figure from the time of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 last year already the subject has not yet lost any significance for me. Since then i bought me a few more figure kits that fit that era, amongst them a Prussian infantryman from the time of the German-Danish War of 1864 by Vice75.
The brand Vice75 comes from Hungary and is pretty new on the market. It is a collaboration between the teams of SBS Model and The Bodi, apparently these guys just enjoy themselves this way and have no real economic interests.
The resin figure consists of more parts than you would expect. All of them are of excellent quality and come with plenty of details. Quite amazing indeed! The pose is very natural, the creases in the uniform are convincing and all the small and smallest details are present. I was impressed by the ears of the soldier in particular, it is probably impossible to make better ones in that scale. The Dreyse needle fire rifle is also neat, it comes with an open breach and very sharp details.
Cleaning up the parts and assembling them can take some time, but the effort pays off. Such a nicely detailed figure is a rare sight.
The figure kit costs about 36€. For what you get here and in comparison with the figures of other brands in that segment of the market it is a really low price tag. It is highly commendable!

The Second Schleswig War, also sometimes known as the Prusso-Danish War, was the second military conflict over the Schleswig-Holstein Question of the nineteenth century. The war began on 1 February 1864, when Prussian and Austrian forces crossed the border into the Danish fief Schleswig. Denmark fought troops of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire representing the German Confederation.
The war started after the passing of the November Constitution of 1863, which tied Duchy of Schleswig more closely to the Danish kingdom, which was viewed by the German side as a violation of the London Protocol.
The war ended on 30 October 1864, with the Treaty of Vienna and Denmark's cession of the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein and Saxe-Lauenburg to Prussia and Austria.
