Can you tell me which are the re-modelled figures in the following ranges:
1860/70's Prussian/German
1860 Bavarian
1860's Austrian
1866 Saxon
Thanks
Chad
1860/70's Prussian/German - All new sculpts.
1860 Bavarian - All new sculpts.
1860's Austrian - everything except AU1, 3, 10, 11, 12 is new.
1866 Saxon - No new sculpts.
Thanks, Leon

Leon
Are the Saxons to be re-modelled?
Chad
No plans for it at the moment. We'll look at it in the future, but we've got a few projects to get finished first.
Leon
Now you have introduced the 1859 Grenadier are the Austrian Line in Kittel to be remodelled?
Chad
The Line in kittel are going to be done, but probably not until the end of the year I'm afraid.
Thanks, Leon.
Plenty of time to paint the French Grenadiers then.
Chad
Re Austrians in Kittle: from all my research into the Austrian Army of this period the Kittle was not worn on active service. In the field, both in Italy and Bohemia the infantry just worn the greatcoat with a shirt underneath. Instead of revamping the Kittle why not give the infantry in greatcoat another pose?
Martyn
My information says the opposite. In 1859 they wore the Kittel, but the overcoat in 1866. The German Staff history of 1866 also notes 'white coats' at Podol.

Leon
Are there any plans to add Firing figures to the line infantry to represent skirmish/firing lines?
Chad
Martyn
Apologies. Since my question about the Kittel was related to new 1859 French Grenadier, I was therefore querying Austrians in Kittel for 1859. I did not fully read your comment until I had posted. I agree on the 1866 campaign, although as I noted there are references to white coats at Podol.
Chad
The German Staff history of 1866 also notes 'white coats' at Podol.
Just a possibility that the Austrians that had been observed had had discarded their greatcoats and were fighting in their shirts?
Martyn
My thoughts exactly.
Chad
It would be nice to see another pose for the Austrians in Greatcoat, possibly shouldered musket? Having just one pose is boring when you want to do an army. The Jagers are great! Two poses plus officer.
Or be bold Austrians in shirt sleeves!
It would be quite easy to add an extra pose in greatcoat at the same time as we re-do the kittel.
If you could do that it would really make my day! I'm easily pleased ;D
Which of the following are new sculpts ?
1860's Hanoverian
1860's Italian
1864 Danish
1870 Wurttemburg
Were the Zouaves/Turcos from the French range ever remodelled? Mine (admittedly fairly elderly figures) are very spindly compared to the stalwart line. :(

Just this one.
A lot of emphasis is placed on whether the ranges are 'resculpts' or not, but the other ranges are still very nice figures and shouldn't be discounted just because they're a bit older than the rest.

Yep, the whole 1870 French range is all new.
Howdy Leon,
Wondering how many artillery pieces and crew are in AU4?
And are the Grenzers AU12 in Line kit?
thanks :)

Whoopee! :)
Doh! Just saw the number of guns in AU4 on the top of the list :-[
Also, the command in the Cavalry packs are they, 1 Standard Bearer, 1 Officer and 1 Bugler?
thanks
How new are the 1870 French? ???
I've been collecting mine for 3 years and they all seam the same.
