1809 Allies - Not-Kickstarter! - Pledging closed, Naps getting sculpted!

[TinyTinTroops]

I have the current Rawkins book on the Duchy of Warsaw 1807-1814.
It details  flags for 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th8th, 13th 14th, 17th infantry regiments
1st chasseurs and uhlans

The current Rawkins editions are worth every penny, I spend £20 getting each printed out and sprial bound, although some are now so big as to need two volumes.

Hi Mark

Does it contain any illustrations of the flags ? Particularly I'm looking for photos of the surviving flags or drawings taken from them. I have text descriptions of the flags but they don't give enough to draw a flag from as there is no indication of the size or positioning of the elements listed in the descriptions.

Some are descriptions only, but there are colour prints for the 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 14th and 17th Regiments, and 1st Chasseurs and 15th Uhlans. On pg124 there is colour painting of the Eagle Party for 5th Infantry Regiment,

Hi Mark

That is good to know, they may be useful if other offers of help don't turn up the same info.

PS I spoke to Leon at the York show and the layout of the flags sheets has now been decided.

Wurttemberg (17 flags) & Hess-Darmstadt (12 flags) will have their own sheets and the Saxons will come on two sheets (totalling 26 flags) so that every Regiment can be catered for.

Hi John

Just got back from York show and got your e-mail. When I tried to reply your server rejected my reply.

This doesn't always mean that the e-mail didn't get to you but, in case it didn't, I'll answer it here and say that I would be very grateful to see the scans that you mention. I can read pretty well any graphic format or PDF, which ever is the easiest for you. French text is not a problem for me.

Thanks

Tony of TTT

That's IT for you.  I will scan and email the Rigondaud plates to you tomorrow.

Hi Leon

finally sorted my order -

NHD1 x 3
NHD2 x 1
NHD3 x 1
NHD4 x 1
NHD5 x 1
NHD6 x 1

NSA1 x 4
NSA2 x 1
NSA3 x 1
NSA4 x 3
NSA5 x 1
NSA6 x 1
NSA7 x 1
NSA8 x 1
NSA9 x 2
NSA10 x 1
NSA12 x 2

It's a bit more than my original pledge (and only a fraction of what I will end up needing - bloody scary this Napoleonic lark, should've stuck to tanks  )

[paulr]

Well done that man

Dammit! I'm never going to get the Korean War finished.

Well  what did you expect. To do better then France or America did in that theater? Finish a war in Korea, not very likely if you ask me.

How are we getting on with the sculpts?

I am not on here to moan, it takes time to do all that work well but a little update would be nice!

[Leon]

All of the sculpts are here at Pendraken HQ and we've master moulded the Hesse, Saxony and Warsaw batches.  The Wurttemburg batch needs photo'ing for everyone to look at and then we'll get those into a master mould as well.

Once that's done, we can crack on with the production moulds and get everyone sorted out. 

[lenwelin]

It is a great new.

[Leon]

Just to update everyone on our 1809 project, things have been a little delayed with getting BKC-IV released but we're almost there now.  Most of the moulding is done and we started production on the figures last week.  All being well we'll be ready to ship everything out to you before the end of the month.  We'll be in touch with all of the backers about the 2nd payment invoices very soon.

[Leon]

Will touch base at Partizan hopefully

Sadly we're not at Partizan, we're on the waiting list so hopefully they can squeeze us in soon!

[Zippee]

Doh!

ok then!

[Leon]

Another quick update for everyone as we're almost there now!  The production is almost complete so we'll be sending everyone an email later this week to sort out the invoices for the balance of your pledges.  The new figures can then be packaged and shipped out as soon as we receive the payments.

Not going to fib here, I'm seriously excited.

I know its sad but I don't care.

Hugel's brigade leading the attack, oh yes.

Saxons struggling at Wagram. Check it out.

Hessians at Aspern.

Great work Leon and team.

[paulr]

Definitely something to get excited about

[Leon]

Emails have been sent to all of the backers just to check that your pledges are correct before we send out the 2nd invoices.  Everything will start shipping out on Mon/Tues of next week.

For anyone waiting on the general release of these, it'll probably be a couple of weeks away to give these pledges time to arrive with all of the backers.  Not long to wait though!
