Gentlemen
A sneak peak at some of the completed 28mm master figures for our forthcoming 1812 Saxon Heavy Cavalry – just in time for the Borodino 200 Anniversary! Alan Marsh has done an especially fine job with these.

Zastrow Cuirassiers in the first picture, Garde du Corps in the second. Just the charging troopers shown here. More passive “At rest” poses also available, along with all the appropriate officer, standard bearer, and trumpeter figures.

The official release date for these will be at Salute in London 21st April (yes – Eureka will be there), but if you cannot wait until then there is still time to pre-order them on our website via their 100 Club entry and we will start shipping the figures to you in early February.

Once we have the full range moulded I will endeavour to get some pictures posted here of the other figures in the range.

Our thanks to the numerous people who assisted with the research for these figures. Especially Günter!

Lovely! Especially the poses on the Garde Corps! Look like the best heavy cavalry of any nation and any manufacturer on the market to me!!!

Cheers,

Günter

We sent you some Saxon cavalry figures last Friday. Should be with you in a few days.


toggy

Early next week I should have a proper PDF set up for the Saxon cavalry with better pictures and full code listing. Let me know if you want one. If you have some idea of what you might need you can pre-order for the Salute (by the 10th April please) and guarantee you get everything you want (no extra charge, no postage or anything like that...)

John,

it seems that the Saxons have arrived but because of our lazy Post officals there are in the Post office where I have to pick them up instead of having them since yesterday in my clutches :roll: :(

Thanks again

John,

You know that you are crazy? :D
I asked for a few samples but so many Figures.....no, you ARE crazy :wink:
My compliments to the sculptor. He did a very fine job!

I will reserve them a very special place with my other Saxons.

Thank You very much John.

All the Best

No worries Günter, you were very helpful.

What would be nice if you can show them around to a few friends. Like Barry... just to pick a name out of thin air... :wink:
