These are exquisite. I was just about to climb into some Front Rank horse but I am now going to wait.

Wonderful! I hope Clib sculpts a lance for the standard bearer. This would make the command set perfect. It would be much better for this great figure to be seen carrying a standard on a lance rather than on piece of wire. Either way, though, I will be buying them.

That second picture with the mounted officer waving his hat is just exquisite. As soon as my eBay sales are done I can see an order on it's way for my first regiments...

Most of the preordered codes 1-9 will go out Monday coming. We have now sorted and bagged! :D

Barry these are great sculpts, quite dynamic and certainly full of character.

The horses are brilliant too, remind of Bill T from Musketeer.

The horses are Ebob's, Bill from Musketeer uses them too.

Please, do NOT sculpt a lance or pole for any standards. Those are always too weak and are easily broken. A supplied pole as Front Rank does would be fine.

Absolutely right. The days of cast lances are well gone. May I please also suggest that the 'open' hand for the standard be in fact 'closed' and thereby enable a - to be subsequently drilled out for even greater security. I hate having to reglue and then repaint figures when the standard gets knocked out of an 'open' hand.

And the missing word was 'LOCATION POINT'

We'll have a look at that but it may be a little too late to close the hand totally. Location point sounds interesting, I have suffered with those problems over the years myself.


Embarrassing story which I am not afraid to tell... when I bought my very first metal cavalryman from Foundry probably 25 years ago I had no idea how to fit him on the horse as he had a metal bar running between both of his feet and wouldn't go on the horse... :shock: I had no idea this was a runner from the casting process and that you had to do ANY work with a metal figure before you used it :oops:

Oh how I have learned :roll:

Tim, it is better to reglue a standard to the hand that all the model to the horse... :D

The group of Officers writting and sending orders has solved my problem of selecting my range of models for this Period. It is great, and a good idea from you; not all must be combatants (Have you planned looters, sappers working, camp followers...?).

Cheers,

Juan

Clibanarium and I had a long discussion this week about the future. We agreed to keep options open but are both quite excited about a less well clothed and armed range of figures to represent the Jaocibite and Williamite recruits in Ireland. The supernumary types that you mention Juan have always been a favourite of mine as you are able to tell a story with them. I will attempt to make this range as comprehensive as possible without breaking the bank. As I have said before, it is all dependant on sales 8)
