Here a small set with Austrian Hussars shooting, I added an NCO to the initially 3 miniatures and the set is ready. The standing horses can be used alternatively with the FA-001 or FA-002 sets. With the addition of a set of casualties and a mounted colonel i think i covered enough for this unit.
The Masters of the Austrian Uhlans are ready, they will go to the producer soon, and fit 2 sets in metal:
Austrian Uhlans Command 4 mounted figures + spare arms
Austrian Uhlans Troopers 4 mounted figures with detached arm
the unit is depicted in the uniform of 1809, but it can easily converted to the later one, the uniform accuracy is very high.
The next release is ready to go to production:
French Marins de la Garde Command: 6 marching figures
French Marins de la Garde Troops : 6 marching figures
French Marins de la Garde Monted Officer : 1 mounted figure
The set is almost finished, still missing one figure to have the 2 sets : 6 infantrymen +6 command staff; the mounted officer will be apart.
the last one for the coming 2 sets of Marins de la Garde, it will be added also a mounted officer.
Finally the test shots of the coming two sets of Granatieri / Veliti della Guardia of the Kingdom of Neapel . Will be produced in metal 6 pieces per set.
The first set of "Armies" is ready for sale !!!! The sets consists in 8 mounted figures, in 2x4 poses, which are casted from the same masters of their resin counterparts: only one figure is different . The detail quality is the same of the resin ones, thanks to the experience of Meister Schilling. Soon will follow the french lancers and some command figures. this set is very useful for war gaming purposes .
44 spare heads are in production now, hopefully for sale in April, they belong to the french army and cover different units and periods of the era, they will be divided in different packages per unit with some multiple copies per head. They are in metal . will follow some allies sets which can be used well with french army bodies.
From Master Schilling, the test casts in metal, first set of Franznap Armies, better for war gamers, the details are amazing. Soon for sale, will follow the french lancers.
All the first months of the year used for hand finishing the first products in resin, a very frustrating and boring job.... So i thought of reproducing the famous Jaques Louis David painting of the Alps Crossing, he made 5 different versions between 1801 and 1805. I will made a Limited Edition of it.
The Competition about the Davout miniature is in full activity, great works can be seen there .... i will add a special one off to the winner.
Here some 40 spare heads related to different headgears of the french army, it is amazing how many differences you can find in the years . These will be sent soon for casting and i will do more of them.
Finally I can present the painted test of the French Line Lancers FC-003 and FC-004 command and team; they come with interchangeable and spare arms and saddles, here are depicted as 1 regiment. the Officer is the first miniature and horse i ever did, and it shows it, so i'm doubting to substitute the horse....
Here a trio i always wanted to do : Mounted Hussars shooting their guns, i made 3 typical poses : picking the cartridge, hammering the ball and shooting, for this last one i will add the bridles. Hope you like them.
Here the two sets of the French Line Lancers, they will be produced in resin and in metal, will follow other sets with mounting an dismounting and dismounted, you can see my first own casts in the images
This is one of my first work, which I started from conversions , so i had completely re-done most of the pieces, in particular the horses, so now every piece is original.
French Line Lancers Command : 3 mounted miniatures, 2 spare arms, 2 interchangeable saddlecloths.
French Line Lancers Team : 4 mounted figures, 5 interchangeable arms.
soon available for purchase
