Title: Need Help! FIW5 - Piedmont infantry, advancing
Post by: streetgang on 05 September 2013, 12:43:44 AM
I see this is a new release, no photos yet so I have a question or two: Are there multiple advancing poses? Are the figures in greatcoat or a tunic? I am very curious if I can paint these gents up as Neapolitan Bourbons for use against my Garibaldini, if not I can still use them as Piedmontese against my Pontifical Army. Thanks!

PS: While l was looking at the Piedmont addition, I noticed this figure: FIW3 - Voltigeur, advancing/running. Is this a relatively new addition? Multiple pose or single? They appear to be better quality sculpts than FIW2. These figures might be a good addition to my Pontifical troops...thanks!

FIW5 is two poses, and they were conversions from the Franco-Prussian code FPW8 if I remember correct.  I need to get a pic of them for the website, which I'll hopefully get done this weekend.

FIW3 is two similar poses as well, also being a conversion job.

They were both done by Techno, so I'll see if I can find some pics of the sculpts somewhere.

FIW5 - As Leon says these are conversions from FPW8 and are in greatcoats for 1859. Do not know if they would suit other forces.

FIW3 - This is also a conversion from FPW8 and, as it does not have the normal tent roll around the backpack, it may be of more use for other armies.
