"Boki Quiz.. who will recognize the uniform? " Topic

Capt. Nolan after the Light brigade charge?

Ninth quiz..

so here we go with the Gendarmes D'Elite

Yes.
Pairs of Elite Gendarmes for all napoleonics periods.

Tenth Quiz..

Until mould with new dolls develop, I started this year with this fellow.

Skirmisher to go with early French?

Nope.
But early period is right.
I wanted to try to sculpt his distinctive but strange hat.
When I finish this hat, it will be chrystal clear what figure this is.

Hat is not finished yet, but shape is clear.

ah yes, I would opt for the hat being a trifle wider please look again at the photos I did sent.

Adding lace will add volume to hat, but otherwise I folloved the dimensions of the only survived hat from the picture you sended to me.
Also on your photos line infantry wear exactly this narrow hats, only light infantry have much wider ones.

lets wait for the lace, which was really thin for rank and file.
I cannot see a difference between the size of line and light infantry, check Thieme on that, the differences in hat size is due to wear and tear of hats as well as different sizes due to different production sources, as usual in that period.

Thiemes heads are extremely small, compared to usual figures heads.
If I do on figure "Thiemes head", the hat will immediately look much wider.

I don't like to spoil the quiz – in case a reader comes up with the answer I will put up more immages here to profide a wider platform of discussion and see what the readership thinks.
Just do the "lace" and then please do a photo again, it may have solved the problem.

Definitely the hat makes it obvious. 1792 Prussian kaskett.
Phil

Yes- right for the battle of Valmy

As we see on pictures, musketeers kasket is not much wider than their wigs.

Monogramme on the front of kaskett sculpt or let plain?

ok the lace did it nicely

Monogram, FRW – for musketeers, I would say no, eagle for fusiliers yes.

Well, then next, eleventh quiz..

Alas not Austrian Jäger

No, this is one set from my Mass Army project.
I do Austrian Jägers too for this project, but not action figures as you ordered. Jägers in action will be separate set.

If it's Napoleonic era Nizam-i-Jedid?
Phil

Yes. They are.

Does this mean the Borodino personalities are not on the production schedule anytime in 2018 or beyond?

Does not mean this.
Just looked at this generals couple days ago and thinked about adapting these to my horses and continuing the line.

Twelfth Quiz..

In case, I wouldn't opt for a step where the foot is hitting hard with the heel, by that you will end steping on the heel of the soldier in front of you – I would prefer a more flat foot on the ground

Otherwise my guess soldiers from Cylon or South India, Madras infantry perhaps??

Wow! :-)
I have no idea, what infantry exactly, but India is right.
East Indian Company. Sepoy.

13th Quiz..

Not exactly about uniforms, but how the content of this youtube clip are connected with Boki? ;-)

youtube.com/watch?v=or_jjW_n5UQ

maybe it is your birth town?

Yes, it is. Home, sweet home. :)
One member of our little gaming group made this clip.

But this is Estonia…………

How did von W know this?

I have no idea why, but I somehow always imagined you were from the very Far East. I mean Japan, South Korea, Chiang's China (Formosa/Taiwan) etc

How do I know this, simply by buying miniatures from this very talented sculptor

Are you very disappointed, Deadhead? ;-)
Actually Bill added Estonia to TMP countries database after I arrived here and this is visible on my profile.

I am never disappointed by you or your work……that is for certain. But Sho Boki is not an Irish name….and does not sound too Estonian!

14th Quiz..

Distinctive helmet of Unit.
Will add more photos when sculpting develop, but one hint for now:
Wire in front of helmet comb/crest are there for purpose.

Italian Gardes d'Honneur?

Yes!!!

15th Quiz..

very nice pose – in case I would opt for British infantry of 1792 in Flanders

Yes of cource, but you should'nt "quess" figures, commissioned by yourself. ;-)

As usual all these sculpts are excellent. Do you know when they'll be available ?

By schedule all MAP 2018 (Mass Army Project) sets must be released on July.

16th Quiz..

longitudinal pockets on the coat tails, cut back round laples of 1806 style, musket with rings, I am almost tempted to guess French infantry in white uniform – the cartridge pouch belt looks however too narrow, was well as the cartridge pouch too tiney for French infantry

I already got instructions from commissioner, that pockets must be horisontal. Will resculpt.

The commissioner also defer you about cartridge pouch and belt.
Google translator says, that "defer" means "agree" and "repel" in same time, but I suppose, that he agreed with you.
So I will resculpt. But pity, I especially tried to sculpt the belt with real width in front.

real width was 3 pouces of 81 mm – at least for Revolutionary time – sabre belt, was narrower – 60 mm, because originally it as a waistbelt.

So one has two width of equipment belts, also obvious at good contemporary prints.

Sometimes maybe – one has to exagerate a bit, like you did on your the cuff flaps, or buttons, otherwise it may not work out, but I agree – it is a matter of concept and taste.

Resculpted one..
