Our sculptor has been working on these for several months now and the first batch are complete, covering the 1805-1807 period.  The number of 1811-15 sculpts is around double this lot, so his current estimate is to have them all done by the end of this year, or early '27. 

Our current plan is still to launch these through a not-Kickstarter method, as we've done with the 1809 and Peninsular ranges previously.  I don't want to do that until we're a maximum of 12 months from delivery of the figures, so I think we'll be running it around March/April time, with the packages being delivered in spring of 2027.

Excellent news Leon and the new sculpts look great. I have a cheeky question... will also be seeing some french infantry in bicorne hats for the 1805-6 period?  :)

Those look lovely.

I do wonder why anyone gave approval for some of the ridiculously outlandish headwear of the period. Truly bonkers. Even madder is other countries then all thinking "my, those look good, but they need even more vagazaling - bigger plumes, more gold braid, make it even more pointy". Military bling truly taken to excess.
