"BOKI 1:100 French Revolutionary Infantry" Topic

very nice bonnet de police, well done :-)

I was kidnapped and forced to participate in week long birthday party in middle of nowhere between deep forests.
But I taked my figures with me and have some progress.

Oh those are looking very promising!!
I will be wanting a bunch of these when they are done, pluss the new Murats (since I already only have 5 myself;).
Pluss sone of your horses when they are done.
Oh, and all the French personalities for Borodino on your schedule (Make Junot in full Hussar dress, pleeeaaase!)
Keep it up Sho, dont let silly things like a social life stop the good work;)

Dr J

very good progress, please check the shape of the sabre – it was not straight but slightly curved

You mean NCO sabre?
Yes, this is without wire and plastic seemingly bended by his weight before hardening. This sabre is not connected with leg and "hang on air".

I standardized my horses and they are not fully compatible with my older mounted men. But all troopers, maked by this standard, will probably be compatible with all horses from other producers.

great sculpting

Very nice. Get them on sale and I'll buy a battalion.

NCO

What is best markings for sets of different height of troops?
Tallest men (180cm): T – tall or L – large?
Average men (170cm): A – average or M – medium?
Shortest men (160cm): S – short or S – small?

very nice pose well done

On next week first set will be available. T-set. Officer, flagbearer, NCO and 6 troopers.
A-set follow immediately. Mounted officer, officer, drummer, NCO and 6 troopers.
These two sets together may form one Emperor rules Unit.
For other rules additional troopers from first moulds will be available separately, with parade and campaign outfit.

Also new set of Austrian Dragoons will available and last Murat is on table for finishing.

I waited and waited, but fresh mould silicone shipment from Germany, ordered in April and initially promised in September, again delayed and promised now in November. So I use old silicone and hope for best. For Dragoons it worked normally.

S, A and T sizes.

(T) set is ready.

(A) set command.

excellent – is this for grenadiers ? There I do spot a mousetache at the NCO?

No, these are from average height troopers set.
Should I remove NCO moustaches?

in case – only grenadiers did wear mousetaches, even officers so if that is a fusilier NCO – I would opt without mousetache

(A) set mould progressing..

Von W, would I be correct in thinking that these could be painted in blue uniforms as well as white? I'm sure I read that the 9th Demibrigade wore these helmets up 1798?

Sho, these look fantastic. Well done!

These look great. I hope you will have these available soon

I am waiting for those in trousers to add a few to my volunteer units.

This one must be finished and first wave of Revolutionary Frenchmen will be available.

very interesting officer, several items to ponder about

saddle cloth

- should be square in my view

holsterflaps

- as for heavy cavalry

size of boots

they look a bit out of scale (too big) in my view

Saddle cloth and holster flaps are from Patrice Courcelle.
Terry Crowdy "French Revolutionary Infantry 1789-1802".
Plate C, Line Infantry Field officer, 2e regiment, 1791.
Plate D, Light Infantry Captain, 1er Bataillon, 1791.

Boots are heavy, I agree.

Thanks for the response, Courcelle, though an excellent artist – is not contempoary, for the light infantry the dress regulations of 1786 give

"ARTICLE 12.

On the Horse Furniture
for the Officers of Horse
Chasseurs.

THE saddle & different parts & appendages which depend on it, will be, for the Officers, of the same designs as those for the horses of the Chasseurs.

The shabraque will be in green broadcloth, trimmed around the periphery by a edging of festooned broadcloth, of the distinctive colour for each regiment; & edg

"

So it is the same as officers for Chasseurs a Cheval

For officers of the line, I couldn't find the text regulations – I will try to find more information.

For the boots, I maybe made a misunderstanding statement, English riding boots are perfectly accepatable, but your boots and feet look oversize not 1 / 100 scale

Actually Courcelle show ancient regime saddle cloth and holster flaps. Louis XV infantry officers have such equipment in first half of century. So this may be not necessarily wrong.

true – but how did the saddle cloth look like in Ancien Regime of LVI – see the regulations of 1786.

Have we some contemporary paintings about mounted line infantry officers?

I am hard pressed for time at the moment, but I should be able to tell you more about this in a few days.

For now this officer need only buttons before moulding.
So we will use new knowledge for officers with hat.

Do you have any idea when the Revolutionary Light Infantry and Line Infantry in trousers might be available? Thanks

Casquetted line infantry in trousers are ready long ago. I make them available on weekend, together with line infantry command sets. Last mould goes to owen right now.
Light infantry, grenadiers and Legions are on sculpting table.

(A) set is ready..

excellent, mounted officer, foot officer, drummer and even NCO – congratulations

Available now.

Here..
boki.ee/Painted_Figs/FRANCE/FR_0002a/Boki_Shop.htm

After painting there will be new photos.

they do mix well

Do you have any idea when advancing figures in trousers would be available?

buy meanwhile some in breeches and gaiters, I will mix my infantry in true revolutionary style with both possibilities

I already have figures in breeches and gaiters and want figures in trousers to mix with my volunteer units

But they are available already. Labeled as Campaign Troopers. Ones with gaiters are labeled as Parade Troopers.
If you mean under "advancing" my usual trooper poses.

Sho, I am looking for figures that do not have shouldered weapons, but with lowered weapons.

There will be the Markers set with action figures and casualties, but only 3 tall master dolls are ready yet. I will sculpt these together with Austrian Jägers, as all Jägers will be action figures.
So these troops are mostly next year business.

A little appetizer..
Grenadiers and legeres or foreign legions.

cannot wait to see more
