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.

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!
