We probably won't get chance to mould them up in time for the January releases, as we've got all sorts of bits and bobs to get ready, so they should be ready for February.
Wow, they look a lot better in their offical livery (my original pictures were crap!)
It is nice to see that these will be nearing production in the New Year. The command and the RI regiment will be very useful and boost the range which continues to be of the highest quality.
well at least I can put the card away for a couple of months - cheers pendraken :) ;)
AAgggghhhhh!
Not MORE to paint?! :o 8)
They look great I'm looking forward to them.
Why to do standing command in cutdown coats, if there is no adjacent standing pack of privates ?

Maybe coming soon ??
I'm waiting for a command pack for the Queens Rangers, and some charging highlanders...... (we all know what "The Goat" is waiting for :) )
... secretly driving Leon mad with requests... we aint going away :-h :-h :-h :-h
Tarletons next please Clib :)
Leon, i'm preparing another order for you for some AWI, so the question is - will these be on February's list ?

Yes they will!

If you order them straightaway on the 1st Feb, we should have them in the post to you within a week or so, then postage to you is about 3-5 days? So you'll have about 2 weeks to get them painted! :D

One totally jumbled order on its way to you :)

Got it! I'll price it up later on and get back to you.
So will these be ready on Feb. 1st or sometime after? I'm getting ready to place an order and was wondering if I should wait a few days or include them in a future order?
Wow, that was fast! I see them on the site now.

Great job !
BTW - what will be the difference between guardsmen and line troops, apart form headgear of course ?
Damn they're a bit tasty Clib :o
Must resist ..........

Well, not a huge amount, they could probably be used for line regiments too. I've given them closely cropped round hats, gaitered trousers and cut down coats. One detail that might be different from other packs is the bayonet sheath affixed under the cartridge box, but that's barely noticeable. The command have an ensign, which gives you a choice to have flags or not even though its unlikely the standards ever left England. The light and grenadier companies do have distinctive hats which I wanted to capture. In the round I followed this article. http://www.military-historians.org/company/journal/guards/guards.htm
Arguably other packs would have done for the guards, but I wanted them to have a distinct pack as they are a special regiment and I think deserve to stand out.
Looks like my AWI project has just been extended a few more months!
Thanks Clib.
It seems that we use the same page for Guards uniforms.
What was your source for smaller hats ? The picture of officer ? http://www.military-historians.org/company/journal/guards/guards7.jpg
And the last question:
Is the British firing line in cut dow coats and hats sheduled in foreseable future ?
Really nice kit, there will be an order for those as soon as they are released!

Yeah pretty much, gives them a distinct look, though its just as likely they had wider brims.
Cut down coats and hats are probably in the next batch of AWI infantry, but bear in mind I have more LoA to do first, and the next AWI I will work on will be cavalry. No more infantry before the autumn I'd imagine.
Clib, I love you, I want to marry you and have your babies. The only obstacle that I can see is that I am a bloke, married with 2 kids . :-*
don't distract him with sex man - can't you see he's got important work to do ?!
Lol, sorry Major, you are right. I'll hang fire until Tarleton and his boys make an appearence !

Thank you (I think?)...err.... but I think I'll pass. I can see those obstacles too, and others besides....

... and I wish to make clear that they
include but are not limited to having important work to do.
Anyway back to work (though I may have to look at the
top three totty thread to steady myself again first)

Not sure yet, too many shows at the moment to get many moulds done. The missing LoA moulds are being done as I type, and I think we master moulded up some of the recent WW2 masters as well.
