Baden Infantry
Trying to fulfill the expectations of a german friend, i approached this first test of a Baden infantryman, i suppose that they wore long overalls on campaign, i tested also the headgear, which in my sources must have been shorter than the Jager ones.
Any comment is welcome
Spare heads test
I tried some dimensional test with a beautiful Zwezda grenadier body, here the result with some of the already realized heads; it is funny but the headgear was a part of the uniform which could variate so much, if we trust see the many sources sources of the Napoleonic era... 
More Spare Heads
While i'm busy with my first 28mm sculpt and with spare horses, i did some more spare heads.
two new Marines de la Garde
almost the set done, with two advancing Marines , trumpet and Flag bearer, i need to do the quartermaster and the porte fanion
French Pontonniers
I started to sculpt the french pontonniers, which can fit with for example Hat pontoons....
here the first two figures, i'm experiencing for the first time part of human anatomy to sculpt....
Neapolitan Veliti della Guardia Masters ready
Here the two sets of the Veliti / Granatieri della Guardia of Kingdom of Neaples;
they can be easily painted as westphalians....
Austrian Hussars Painted test shots
Finally due to the W/E i finished the test shots of the two sets of austrian Hussars.
Here in the uniform of the 2nd Rgt, Joseph Anton.
I must say i had a pleasure in painting all the details, although this is the set which was ruined and repaires so it is 90% of my aimed quality. the next sets will be 100%....
The sets are:
Austrian Hussars Command: 3 mounted figures
Austrian Hussars Team: 4 mounted figures
Will follow Austrian Hussars casualties :5 fallen hussars, 5 fallen horses
First painted test shots Austrian Hussars
Here the first pics of the painted ones, will follow more.
the figures are super detailed and also easy to paint.
fantastic experience.
Spare Heads
I'm busy with sculpting spare heads which i will produce , It is funny to do and a fast job, and i hope to do all the headgears of the napoleonic periods, for the moment I'm busy with the french.
Franznap Miniatures Austrian Hussars test shots in resin
The two first sets of Franznap Miniatures are close to the start line, here the first test shots in resin.
The story of this sets is long, i first did some of them out of conversions, but after, when my skills developed, i re-sculpted them and sent them to production.Unfortunately the molding process damaged the masters and i had to repair them and find solutions of the technical problems which created that damage.
Now finally i could have in my hands the first copies ready for production. I will do it in both resin and metal, the sets in resin will have more pieces, as spare heads, arms, weapons and equipment.
French artillery horse holder masters finished
A lot of boting work for finishing all the details of the masters, in the view of production.
This set is finally done... all details done, ready for the queue of set done.
