I got a new roof this past week so the Carabiniers got put on hold for a bit. They're done now, so I'll tackle one of my last two Fusiliers next.

Wow, most impressive.

Great work.

L\Epic Gamer, your figures look GREAT! But who makes 8mm Napoleonics?

Very nice!
I heard lately, that Perry figures are not 8mm from ground to eyes, as usual, but from ground to top of their shakos, so my 8mm figures looks like giants near them.
Also I was ordered to sculpt and produce some stuff in Perry scale and I wait now for Perry figures arrival, to get their real size.

Thanks guys.

They're Perry Travel Battle figs, Fox.

Sho, the fusiliers are 8mm to the brim of the shako/eyes. What will you be making in scale with that? If they match proportionally I might pick some up.

My 8mm sculpting records are here.

But all are sold out.
I have old moulds, if needed, but probably I will now produce some stuff precisely for Perry standards and bases, after I get some Perry figures for comparison.
I was ordered to produce firing figures and limbers with limber horses.
But after I do this, it is possible to do some national units also in correct Perry proportions.

Cool, they look good. A Skirmisher pose would be handy, as well as some Grenadiers and other cavalry options.

Perry figures arrived. My gosh, these are tiny-tiny ones. Like my 6mm figs, but in right proportions, without big heads. They probably are tooled and scaled smaller than sculpted masters. This will be challenge to sculpt these proportions for me.

I had a look at the skirmisher pose you did, Sho Boki. He looks great. Will you be doing anything else in this scale in the coming months? Shipping is expensive and I'd want to add more to the order to make it worth it.

Nicely painted, not so hot on the pose.
