Love that little drummer boy. Actually, these days, saying that on-line, let me rephrase that. What a nice little figure that drummer boy presents. Oh heck that is worse. Look, you are off to a great start here. Must be hard for you guys in this scale. We have to contend with big 25mm and very slender 28mm figures, but then the Hobbit style, with huge heads and hands and tiny short legs. You have this 15/18mm challenge and that does seem to represent quite a range of human sizes, but at least every maker seems better at the proportions, for some reason.
Your's are more at the 18mm end of the spectrum I think?

Nice work. i'm doing some of these in 28mm for Revolutionary Armies range. started with a base 4 and will variant from there with different heads. The one thing i have kept consistent has been the coat, the rest of it is all over the place. lol I love this period Boki, Keep up the good work. |

Thanks! :-) Drummer boy is 14mm, other chaps 17mm. So yes, the higher end. But I have trooper dolls with different height, for example Ottomans and their counterparts, Austrians and Russians, are 16mm. These chaps have common only coat too, all other stuff is wildly variegated. I suspect, that because of this, the British set, the next one, may be ready even before Les Bleus. |

Don't forget that the troops would be smaller than usual because of their Marie-Antoinette-approved cake-based diet. I've just googled Mr Kipling's French Fancies – just thinking of eating one makes me feel sick. |

Really like what I'm seeing so far.

I know difficult for casting but please do the hat fore and aft, as shown you can sculpt it but you would hit the brim when shouldering arms and knock off the hat |
| Valmy92 | 18 Oct 2018 4:44 a.m. PST |
vonW, IIRC hats were also worn "en bataille" (across), but the left point slightly back and the vestigal front point over the left eye which would prevent knocking the hat off that way. Who has some that way in an earlier progress shot.

There will be several troopers with fore and aft. And en bataille too.
|
| von Winterfeldt | 18 Oct 2018 9:53 a.m. PST |
like last miniature is perfect, in case you will wear en bataille, you will knock the hat off with your musket when shouldering your musket – otherwise you can wear it slanted as you described but then they will be obliquely on the head. Here as I sculpted mine, slanted and en colonne – alas the wrong scale 1 / 72 ERROR - no url for link
