Great set of horses.

thanks for the update, as for the pikes, awkward, I hate this bent system – what about casting them separately?

I am painting your mounted officer at the moment with another batch of miniatures, an impressive sculpt, a joy to paint, despite Jcfrog will find him to be on the tall side.

I tried to cast pikes separately before, twice. With no success.
In my new experimental mould straight pikes cast perfectly with troopers, but mould is unbalanced and I must hold my casting machine firmly when I cast.

I will create more balanced mould form for figs with pikes, but this takes time. I tried easier way at first but this not worked well. So it is still possible, that Suvorovs Officers and NCO-s (and later ones) will be with straight pontoons, if my next try of mouldmaking succeed. I hope so.

I see, that link to my 10mm Grenadiers don't work. Here are the correct link.

Are you selling those horses separately?

Sho Boki Sponsoring Member of TMP23 May 2021 8:17 a.m. PST

Not yet, there are only one set of my 2nd generation horses to choice right now.
But after the second set will be ready, I will sell all riders and horses separately.

My new cavalry sets will all fit to my new horses only, so there must be many different horses, for all tastes and needs. And I must improve horses legs.

I cannot find some of your earlier horses and particularly that pose, which I am very fond of.

Herr General and chef du secret, he is big and this can happen. I hear the envy of the little horse looking at his AB carrying colleagues.
But yes he is nice. If / when I ever manage to do 92 1800 he will do a chef de demi brigade.

All earlier horses are here..

von Winterfeldt23 May 2021 12:23 p.m. PST

great, so they are still available?

Sho Boki Sponsoring Member of TMP23 May 2021 12:51 p.m. PST

Yes, of course. Some sets cannot be resculpted to fit with new horses.
