New Saxon Army 1866

[Leon]

We've never got around to putting them onto the website, but the mould is here (as long as I remember where it is!)  Pop me an email when you're ready to order and we can sort those.

Hard to sell them if they are not on the web site

Thanks Leon,

I will do this, but would also welcome your input on the questions contained in my e mail of the 2nd, which mentioned a number of possible codes to use.  Cheers,

PS. austrian rockets, ECW casualties, wood piles! Anything else I've forgotten?

Where do the wood piles appear in the catalogue?

They don't, along with the ECW casualty figures!  The Austrian Rockets are re-modelled, but not yet available as well.

I've not got an email through from you, can you resend?

- The Austrian rockets have been moulded and Dave's casting those off at the moment.
- Likewise for the wood piles.
- The ECW casualties have also been master moulded and they're in the production moulding queue now.

Sorry, Leon, by e mail I meant my earlier post on this thread which mentions code numbers!

Re. Bavarian in peaked cap:

a) marching with shouldered rifle, full pack and rolled greatcoat over left shoulder, trousers tucked into boots (IMO a nicer figure than the marching Prussian in feldmutze).

DP. Is figure in the same position as the Prussian in feldmutze, or does it have the rifle actually horizontal, on the shoulder, like the 1870 range peaked cap figure?

Andrew, I have put up a photo of the three ranges in question. L to R the first two are the actual Saxon infantry, the second two are the Prussian infantry in feldmutze and the final two are the Bavarians in peaked cap. The marching Bavarian is more casual than the marching Prussian, but I really like that pose. This is the best shot of four for showing the detail of the figures:

I use all of these for the German States forces. The different figures and poses give a nice mix for the different states. The firing figures is especially useful for Rifle battalions.

DP,

Many thanks, that is very useful!  The Bavarians look as if they are the same figures as PPW24 (Leon?) if not, I am not sure of the differences. The Schleswig Holstein Range Danish jagers appear to be these figures modified by the inclusion of a back pack with roll on top of it, and long trousers ie, not tucked into boots.  As such they probably come closer to the Saxons - if they had their trousers tucked into their boots they would PERFECT!    I agree with you about that trudging, marching, pose, it is full of character - my second Bavarian corps has lots of these interspersed with the Raupenhelm figures. I think these infantry are anong the best Pendraken have produced..

Cheers,

Mollinary

The PPW24 feldmutze figures are the exact same pose/style as the Prussian infantry in the middle of DP's photo, the only difference being that they've a slight peak to the hat.  The lower leg/ankles look thinner than the PPW9 code, so you could maybe say the trousers were tucked in... 

[Chad]

The trousers are actually tucked into gaiters.

Well, that is a surprise! So it turns out I don't have any of PPW24.  Maybe the two cartridge boxes would rule out these figures for 1866?

When you it sorted and make a decision I would love to know what figs and codes you go with.
