Highland command figures

Realizing that command figures be a much needed addition to my range of toy soldiers, I decided to sculpt a Highlander officer and a sergeant. British and French line infantry officers should follow at some future time… Planning ahead, I started with sculpting a mannequin that I would use as a base for the masters [...]

First Highlanders figures now available

After some time since I posted the pictures of my Government Highlander master (see here), here come my first two Highlanders figures. The poses are maybe a bit conventional, but all in all well suited for setting up a regular infantry war game unit... I painted a couple of figures in the Black Watch, or [...]

I have just released three more Redcoats, and have now enough British regular infantry figures to recreate realistic battle situations. Yet more close-combat fighting poses are in the making, and hopefully will soon be ready to join their comrades-in-arms… I have sculpted the kneeling figure's master converting one of my standing Redcoats, and fitted it [...]

After a rather long while since I posted the pictures of my first three British regular infantry masters, here come the first Redcoats resin castings... As I have anticipated in an earlier post, I decided to do away with the complexities associated with single-part molding, and opted for the more conventional, but altogether simpler, approach [...]

Flintlock muskets

Here is the master of a French trade gun (Fusil de Chasse), made of balsa wood, A+B putty, lead foil, styrene sheet, and sewing pins for the barrel and ramroad. Below is a white-metal casting of the same.
