Hi Pendraken
Some time ago i asked about the possibility of having Austrain infantry advancing in greatcoat with musket over the shoulder as per their regulation for attack. Is there any possibility of this figure being produced?

It certainly used to be produced as I have several battalions of them.

It's on the list, but only a few votes unfortunately.  We've extended the 19th C. stuff quite a lot, plus the extra's that are being done as we speak, so I think we'll be giving the designer a break from this period for a while.

We've not got anything with the musket over the shoulder in the current range, I'm not sure what poses were in the old moulds (circa 5+ years ago).

You can count my appeals for diversity of poses as a vote for Austrians in greatcoats with muskets shouldered (in at least three slightly different poses + officer, drummer and standard bearer).

I can only suggest having a look on Ebay as there certainly were 1866 Austrians marching in greatcoat, but only one pose. The officer was also marching but he was in tunic only.

Another vote for this one from me.  DP, do you know of any photos of this figure?  I got my armies some years ago and I cannot recall this figure at all.

Ok. I'll try another learning curve and see if I can get some photos up. Got OFSTED in school Monday and Tuesday but once the bastards have buggered off I should be able to try something on Wednesday.

Hey DP, Flickr is a bit awkward for posting photo's at times.  What you need to do is:

- Go to the picture you would like to post on the Forum.

- Above the image you should have 'Actions' and a little down arrow, and then symbols (envelope/Twitter/Facebook) and another down arrow.  Click this second down arrow, and a little drop down box will appear, with hopefully 3 options, two in blue text, one in black.

- The option in black text should read 'Grab the HTML code' and there will be a box full of code underneath.  Click on the code once to highlight it all in blue, then either right click your mouse and choose 'Copy' (or hold 'CTRL' and press 'C').  This will copy all of that code.

- Go to the Forum, and start writing your post.  When you would like to insert the image, just right click your mouse, and choose 'Paste' (or hold 'CTRL' and press 'V').  The code from your Flickr should now appear in your Forum post (it's quite long, a couple of lines worth).  When you submit the post, the image should be nicely displayed for you.

Let me know how you get on.

Whoohoo!

Aha, there was one extra step I missed out.  Before you click the box with the code in it, there are two little options below it, one marked 'HTML' and one marked 'BBCode'.  You'll need to select the 'BBCode' option first, and that will change the code slightly, so that the Forum can recognise it.  The link you've done works fine, but changing it to the BB code will display the image here on the Forum for everyone to see.

And all of that above reinforces that photobucket is easier-ier...if you bung pics to a p'bucket account all you do is hover over your image, the  pop-up is [img] code - you click it once & it auto-copies & then you're good to go... 8)

I've just got myself a Photobucket, and it is a whole lot easier.
