44 spare heads are in production now, hopefully for sale in April, they belong to the french army and cover different units and periods of the era, they will be divided in different packages per unit with some multiple copies per head. They are in metal . will follow some allies sets which can be used well with french army bodies.

 

 

  

All the first months of the year used for hand finishing the first products in resin, a very frustrating and boring job.... So i thought of reproducing the famous Jaques Louis David painting of the Alps Crossing, he made 5 different versions between 1801 and 1805. I will made a Limited Edition of it.

 

 

Here some 40 spare heads related to different headgears of the french army, it is amazing how many differences you can find in the years . These will be sent soon for casting and i will do more of them.

Here a trio i always wanted to do : Mounted Hussars shooting their guns, i made 3 typical poses : picking the cartridge, hammering the ball and shooting, for this last one i will add the bridles. Hope you like them.

Here the painted test shots of the Neapolitan mounted Generals, soon available for sale; the horses are sculpted with interchangeable saddle clothes so it is possible to add many variations of the uniforms, these miniatures are also suitable for other armies uniforms.

Finally the painted test shots of this great set : it will be ready for sale within Christmas , two pack horses, one without the pack cover (as separate piece) for let the collectors enjoy to paint the ammunition bags. Complete the set a mounted Fuhrweser , and an artilleryman opening the ammunition pack.

Finally today the first test cast arrived, very very  few defects , and fantastic detail quality. 
I will start with 60 copies per set .

the first sets will be the following:

Austrian Hussars Command  3 mounted figures +2 spare arms
Austrian Hussars Team : 4 mounted figures

King Murat (1 mounted figure in 100 numbered copies)

SOON THE WEBSHOP WILL BE RUNNING.......

I tried some dimensional test with  a beautiful Zwezda grenadier body, here the result with some of the already realized heads; it is funny but the headgear was a part of the uniform which could variate so much, if we trust  see the many sources sources of the Napoleonic era... 
 






























 

Just keeping trained in my favorite work:
i'm now doing some  horses for a preparation work,
i will cast some copies and transform them in different
units, as artillery, hungarian saddles etc...
I'm doing the different movements, standing, walking,
trotting, cantering, galloping , and falling;
i will produce spare horses sets .
