WOOHOO!!! That one was easy as you'd posted the same picture on your "Borodino 1812 Czarist Generals" page of your website. |

First hint – they are officers. What Army?
|
paulalba | 09 May 2015 6:49 p.m. PST |
I have no idea who but they look great, Russian for early Napoleonic period? |
von Winterfeldt | 09 May 2015 10:58 p.m. PST |
lovely sculpting and fast progress |
Sho Boki | 10 May 2015 3:11 a.m. PST |
Early period is right, russians not, Paul. Second hint, they are missing officers for existing AB line. |
Valmy92 | 10 May 2015 6:39 a.m. PST |
Given that, and since the early Austrian command doesn't have named officers, I'll guess 1806 Prussians. Phil |
Sho Boki | 10 May 2015 7:07 a.m. PST |
These are not named officers (personalities) and not Prussians. Third and last hint – these are infantry officers (not generals) and von Winterfeldt commissioned them as battalion commanders. |
Eclipsing Binaries | 10 May 2015 8:16 a.m. PST |
As they are early and to compliment an AB range, are they Revolutionary period Austrian then? |

Eclipsing Binaries | 10 May 2015 10:30 a.m. PST |
Excellent!! I'll buy a few of those from you as soon as they are ready. |
Sho Boki | 10 May 2015 12:45 p.m. PST |
You win two quiz, you get two additional free figures, when order. Kutuzov and one ot this officers. And another one, as being Old Guard (one of my first customers). |
von Winterfeldt | 10 May 2015 12:50 p.m. PST |
I will need a few too ;-)) |
Eclipsing Binaries | 10 May 2015 2:38 p.m. PST |
Thanks Sho. I just wish I'd known you were doing these as I just used a Blue Moon mounted officer in my O'Donel's Frei-corps battalion, and just completed the command stand this morning. I may try and pop him off his horse. Any chance you could maybe do an early Murat suitable for Marengo at some point? Colin |
von Winterfeldt | 10 May 2015 11:03 p.m. PST |
a good French staff and generals for the Revolutionary period is overdue anyway – generals like Custine, Hoche, Kleber, Marceau, Desaix, Lecourbe, Richpanse, Jourdan, Augereau and Bonaparte. |
Sho Boki | 11 May 2015 8:09 a.m. PST |
All is possible, but I don't know now, what exactly will be the next projects after current ones. All depends, what my fingers want to sculpt on that moment.. May be some infantry? |
Eclipsing Binaries | 11 May 2015 9:26 a.m. PST |
Please go with von Winterfeldt's suggestion. Revolutionary French staff would be fantastic! If you are set on doing infantry, how about Russians for Suvarov's camapaign in Italy? Or…. Bavarian's with von Rumsford uniforms. British for Egypt. I can think of more. |
von Winterfeldt | 11 May 2015 1:28 p.m. PST |
some infantry? Yes please French infantry in helmet in 1791 – :-)) I forgot Massena |
FleaMaster | 13 May 2015 3:43 a.m. PST |
Revolutionary French Staff set please! |
Sho Boki | 13 May 2015 3:56 a.m. PST |
I can't promise nothing, but some suggestions seems interesting. At first I must finish current projects. Cossacks and Austrians after two weeks and then Krakusen and new Towarzyc. And I allways wanted to do Westphalian Infantry.. |
von Winterfeldt | 13 May 2015 4:46 a.m. PST |
What is so specific about Westphalian infantry? Any French infantry figure would do. |
Sho Boki | 13 May 2015 5:01 a.m. PST |
In 6mm yes, French Bardin, Westphalian, Saxons, Vistula Legion etc. all the same. But in 15(18)mm there are some differences. And most important, I always wanted to do this.. My first sculpted figure was Westphalian, I like the sound of this word – Westphalia. |
Eclipsing Binaries | 13 May 2015 6:03 a.m. PST |
I have cash set aside for whatever Austrians you can get into production. Westphalians don't really interest me unfortunately, but keeping to that area, if you did Hessians for 1798 those would be cool. |

Still no Marengo Murat? :( |
Sho Boki | 18 Jul 2016 2:31 a.m. PST |
Marengo Murat is also on the table. Borodino one was just more recognizable for quiz. All Murat line is under resculpting, they have too tiny feets, must be bigger. |

Eclipsing Binaries | 14 Sep 2016 12:57 p.m. PST |
Is it early revolutionary period Belgian? I know they had the neck tie. |
Sho Boki | 14 Sep 2016 1:11 p.m. PST |
No, French. But revolutionary period is right. |
Sho Boki | 15 Sep 2016 3:25 a.m. PST |
Hint.. this figure probably always act as part of group on gametable, not separate individual (like flagbearer may be). |
von Winterfeldt | 15 Sep 2016 4:48 a.m. PST |
he is wearing boots, so an officer – or another special rank, a tambour – major? |
Eclipsing Binaries | 15 Sep 2016 4:55 a.m. PST |
Could be an officer, or sergeant, with an esponton/spontoon? Could even be a Paris Guard veteran with a half-pike? |
Sho Boki | 15 Sep 2016 5:27 a.m. PST |
Von Winterfeldt nailed this. Tambour-major is correct answer. I make a boyband of barefeet drummers. |
Eclipsing Binaries | 15 Sep 2016 5:37 a.m. PST |
ooooo a band!!! nice. Totally useless in game terms, but nice!!! |
von Winterfeldt | 15 Sep 2016 7:45 a.m. PST |
please don't do all without shoes, I will send you some very nice contemporary pictures in due course, showing a huge variaty of boy drummers |
Sho Boki | 15 Sep 2016 7:50 a.m. PST |
One Osprey contain picture of boyband, I copy this. Only one boy will be without shoes. |
von Winterfeldt | 15 Sep 2016 11:01 p.m. PST |
immage sent, you will love it |
Sho Boki | 16 Sep 2016 2:40 a.m. PST |
Thanks. Yes, boys here have almost exactly the same image as in Osprey picture. One inspiring detail, when Austrian wear oak leaf on top of hat in war, then revolutionary French wear spoon. :) |

Dr Jeckyll | 31 Jul 2017 3:56 a.m. PST |
Hmmm,,,,I might have an idea Sho!!;) I am guessing its NOT Austrian!! |

Dr Jeckyll | 31 Jul 2017 7:51 a.m. PST |
The rolled up greatcoat in front of the rider seems familiar…(?) |
Sho Boki | 02 Aug 2017 8:01 a.m. PST |
Picture changed to new one, as hint. |
Valmy92 | 02 Aug 2017 9:33 a.m. PST |
French Guard Eclaireur? top of my head not sure which regiment |
Sho Boki | 02 Aug 2017 10:14 a.m. PST |
You nail this! :-) 2nd Regiment. |
