First comment; Only in 1/72 would you see figures this well done

Second; guess country of manufacture

Third; Great to see the servers of the gun well placed (I have never seen the tripod of muskets modelled before)

Fourth…the only down side. God help the spongeman/rammer trying to get what is, after all, a solid wooden block down that gun barrel.

Seriously good tho'

If only in TOTS, but this something Perrys do really well.

Deadhead

Well spotted! LOL

Great figs mind and nice to know what is around if we ever get the urge to go up a few scales.

Or down in my case.

But I do admit that you rarely see anything in 1/72 that is not well proportioned, beautifully cast and well posed…..

I am beginning to feel that strong is the Dark Side (AB in 15/18mm)….but "too late for me is it, father" (stabs).

I cannot collect 1/72 (again), 15/18mm and 28mm…..

Never say never Liam.

1/72 is the OTS…grin

But about time we had some decent guard artilley. The old Esci set is very poor

Even I am beginning to think that there might be more than one version of "The One True Scale" but…at risk of again sounding like summat from a Star Wars Fillum…too late for me is it…….Strong With the 28mm side am I….

Mind you..one of my favourite lines. Yoda…. "Ah…hard to see is the future…….." or something very like that. For Heaven's sake………what is the one bit we all want.?

Not the past (what colour were the leather belts on 71st…no one wants that…unless they are contributors to another topic here…….)

Not the present ( I know that every time I scratchbuild a figure, the day I post it, it appears from a manufacturer and is far better)

I want to know the future. Anything that involves betting would be brilliant.

Then…..What any 28mm folk will release in the coming year would be nice. I plan a drummer of Carabiniers and a bunch of Garde d'Honneurs in a non heroic pose on parade….but if someone is about to produce them in metal anyway……

I would have just converted some Zvezda figs with bearskin head swaps. In fact I've been planning exactly that.

Good idea!.

It's getting the right bearskins. But together, this set and Zvezda conversion would make a great battery.


How do we buy these?

Marc the plastics fan16 Sep 2016 11:15 a.m. PST

Any news on buying them anyone?
