ordered

grrrrr I will need to order these too

Hi Sho,
Could you drop me a line so I can sort out an order. I've misplaced yer email again. Something the wife can buy me for Christmas!
Cheers
Paul

WOW – They are smashing !!!!!!

The facial sculpting is worthy of 54's let alone 18 mm figures.
Exquisite work – well done

Thanks! :-)
I cast some amount to stock now and then make them available.

Order placed, looking forward to these guys!

Right 3 chaps are the last big "true 18mm" fellows.
For now on all average men will be in size of left 3 chaps or smaller – 15-17mm.

Generals sets 1 & 2 ordered.

Thanks!
Generals posted..

My package of figures arrived, the generals look great, but also the mounted infantry officer

But infantry himself?!
Not so good? ;-)

Are the horses of the painted officers by von Winterfeldt, heavy or light AB horses?

Rob of Eureka USA has agreed to sell horses separate. Just need to tell him which ones.

I did not look in detail for the infantry but only on the mounted figures

AB horses, for the mounted Murats I used mainly light cavalry ones, but on one or two heavy cavalry horses and for all Russian generals so far – heavy cavalry horses.

Painted by von Winterfeldt..

Some incredible painting there Von Winterfeldt

People asked – how my 18mm and 1:100 sets of generals will mix together by height.
So I lined them up in mixed order.. and added Murat and ADC and AB general to line..

I think you should try for a standard size in the future. It may be better for sales if the range is more complete rather than varied.

Nice figures, but they do make the AB horses look too small.

I resculpted Bagration, Old one looks to wooden and was bad for casting.

nice – but a very low neck – the head sits almost on the shoulders

I have a feeling that the neck is fine, it just looks low because of the high collar.

Now there are higher neck. Looks better?

in my view – yes, also I do like the feet and leg positioning of the "new" Bagration.

So with apologies if I missed this – but how does one order these? Do they come with the AB horses, or does one need to buy those separately?

Thanks

I usually pay with SEPA – but Sho takes credit cards as well, the service is first class.

Hi Marc,
I don't sculpt horses yet, but use AB ones and these must be purchased separately from any AB provider.
You may order my humble handcraft on my homepage through PayPal or mail me if you want do use SEPA.

Ah ha. Thanks. Now are there photos of the 18mm range alongside the 1/100 russian generals – how compatible are they? And do they all use AB horses or do the 1/100 use smaller steeds?

Thanks

Marc

They are fully compatible. Couple of post before there is comparable picture of all generals. The right one there is AB 18mm one.
From 15mm to 18mm all are 1:100, if they use the same 1:100 equipment. These are men witht height from 160cm to 190cm.
My 18mm generals simply have bigger faces, so they look bigger than others and I separated them to special set.
All generals use AB horses, who are 1:100 too, because AB started in true 1:100.

Excellent news. Thank you

Marc

Wonderful figures. von W's painting really does them justice and has been an invaluable resource, to one who struggles to even tell a Prussian from a Russian, once the green fades!

New Bagration is available..

Baggovout got Generals parade saddlery and fit on new horses now..

How are doing to the plan of the various Borodin generals of both sides? I remember the map with all the leaders names from the post back in 2014.

Murat is ready. Russian last cavalry Generals for my new horses will be next, then French Generals. But all this takes time, because I am very slow.
