I have been admiring Front Rank's 28mm SYW figures,
partticularly the French and Austrian foot. Both contain a pose which is descibed as "standing musket upright and has the figure with his left hand on his hip. Does anyone know what drill position this is?
Is it a form of "at ease"? I am using 24 figure regiments in 2 ranks, what would be the best way to use this figure. Thankyou. |

This may explain better YouTube link 
Front Rank are lovely figures though. I'm painting my way through their Jacobite range ATM.

Yes, I have always hated that pose. If one put a barre in front of him, he might be about ready to do ballet steps (a plier perhaps?).
For that reason, I've always chosen the other Front Rank figures but chacun à son goût. |

Welcome to the 18th century Byron? |

Ah, Monty Python are great! Could this pose be used for the rear rank in the firing line or as character figures around the standard? |
