Anyone know of a manufacturer of 25/28mm Old Guard figures in firing & loading poses, preferably in great coats? Thanks, R |

Blimey…….Greatcoats or not…. What a good point! Firing? No, their role was to attack and not stop to get into a firefight. They certainly never loaded according to Hollywood. But they would look brilliant. WE DO NOT HAVE THEM! Makes you ask. Do you manufacturers (God bless you though, both of you) ever read this as to what we miss? We do not cry out for Hesse Darmstadt Chevaulegers Elite Garde Engineers building bridges. We want French Gendarmes d'Elite of the Garde….oh hang on, you finally did them……………OK bad example! |

Foundry makes them firing and loading. Not in greatcoats. |

The Victrix box contains around 1/3 of the figures in firing/loading poses, all in greatcoats. |

It seems that sculptors prefer to always represent all the French in some "march attack" poses, as if, in their mind, they never fired …. |

Thanks for the feedback. The Victrix sounds like what I'm look for in OG figures. Does anyone have an image of those firing/loading Old Guard figures? Thanks, Robert |

Here's a few – obviously with Victrix plastics the variety of poses are vitually unlimited

Lord Hill, great figures those chasseurs and well animated……beautifully finished too. But only two could be said to be loading. Not one is ramming or has his musket butt on the ground to load the ball. No one is firing. I imagine the parts are there if needed, but I have never seen them completed as such(as far as I can recall anyway!). Someone can prove me wrong surely. Ten minutes later………Of course as soon as I looked on line at the Victrix range, several pictures of the chasseurs doing just that (in overcoats); link OK, the Grenadiers don't! |

I believe Bicorne Miniatures carry them in their Connoisseur line.They are pictured on the Bicorne site under Connoisseur infantry. They are not in greatcoats, but are firing. |

Hi, Eagle Figures have a figure of a Grenadier standing firing in a greatcoat, link below.
