Is the Crimean War range going to be remodelled at any point
I'm internally debating whether to take the plunge now or wait until the revamp
It's the next range we're going to be working on, so we should be starting the sculpting towards the end of the year with an initial release around the end of spring/early summer 2019.
Hmmm, not more temptation :'(
Hi
I love the old range just ordered more before they are gone forever.

As you have set a precedent with the Korean War range will the Crimean War range have summer AND winter uniforms? ;) 8)

We'll have to wait and see...! ;D
Hi
Any idea about a release date?

Not sure at the moment as we've not started the sculpting yet! We had to get our Japanese range done first instead, due to us buying the Castle Arts buildings, but Crimea is next on the list. We'll get a rough list put together and post it here for people to look at.
Thank you Leon ;)
Looking forward to these, so will hold off for the moment.
Will there be Russians in caps and greatcoats? Am hoping they might be easily converted to Naps. Come to think of it, is there a list of the intended ranges, or does that get held back until just before release?

For the Russian infantry then I imagine it will be much as the current range , a combination of cap or helmet and tunic or greatcoat

There'll be a sculpting list posted up once we're about to get started on them, but that won't be until September I think.
Thanks Leon.
I suppose the next annoying question has to be: Is there a pre-sculpting list marked not for publication which could be leaked?

Nope, we've not even started to look at it yet. The starting point will be the existing ranges and then we'll look at what we want to do add in to make them more comprehensive.
Fair enough!
Thanks Leon
With several of the other recent new ranges, there has been quite a lot of input from customers with knowledge of the period - so if you have thoughts about what would be good additions, then I suggest sharing them.
Hello Fred
I am afraid my contributions to the range would be unashamedly limited to what might easily be converted into Nap Russians: infantry in forage cap, or forage cap with greatcoat; and Russian Staff figures. I guess for me Ural, Don and Terek Cossacks would be utterly ideal. Russian Uhlans would probably suit my purposes as well (at 10mm not too different from their earlier counterparts), and no doubt all of these would be sought after those in the know of that period. The rest of the cavalry had I think evolved significantly by then.
I think it was Don Cossack Horse artillery that was charged by the legendary Light Brigade - so I would assume Crimean War enthusiasts would be after that unit as well (which could sneak into a Nap Russian Army). As I understand it the foot and horse artillery units of the Russian Army at this time had largely the same uniform when on campaign, again the forage cap and greatcoat, and, you guessed it, might work for 40 years earlier...
Look forward to other suggestions for this range, especially for Russians.
Turks, gotta have Turks, and Light Dragoon's and Lancers and the Last of the Brudenells...
There were also Greek volunteers. Also all the cavalry on both sides should be represented - and what about a nice bit of PC with Mary Seacole tending a wounded British redcoat.
