League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

For anybody interested I've just posted pictures of my new mounted officer and foot dolly alongside figures from my own collection of front rank figures for size comparison as I have had a number of enquiries about size,as you all know scale preference is a very personal choice but I hope you think I'm in the right ballpark,the pictures are on my blog on my site eborminiatures.com,if any of you nice chaps could inform me how to add pictures to these posts I could save you all a bit of time.

Ray.

cheers Ray I'll give it a go .

Terrific! Thanks.

that's a beautiful gray horse by the way.

They look good so far Nick. My own collection is FR at the moment but yours look promising. The horse is smaller than FR but this can be put down to horse breeds.

Will be looking forward to the foot figures.

Ray.

Not yet Ray I've been down in exeter for three days but will try this week.
cheers nick

First apologies fellas especially to Ray for not being able to figure out how to add photos to my posts,but of you go to my blog on my site eborminiatures you can see a couple of painted samples of the WSS horse,these are not the finished article yet as Bob is adding the front and rear saddle straps and carbines hung from cross belts and in saddle holsters but I couldn't wait to get some painted by the brilliant steve dyer hope you like them.

The painted cavalrymen look fine, Nick. My one quibble would be the size of their weapons : the dragoon's musket looks a little thick to me and the Piemonti trooper's pistol is totally out of proportion with the figure. It looks as if the man is toting a portable rocket launcher.

Ray.

Nick,

As Mae West would have said, "Is that a pistol or are you just pleased to see me?"

The figures look great but the blunderbuss is just a tad on the large side as are the hands.

Regards,

Jim

Cheers Ray even I should be able to understand such clear instructions,Arthur and Jim thanks for your honest opinion as these are still in the design stage things can still be tweeked so I will address these issues.

Yup, what Jim said. The dragoon's musket is not only too thick, but also too short : it should be the same length as an infantry musket.

Ray.

Thanks for your thoughts Ray,this gives me a bit to work on but I'd rather get these sorted now than after I've made the production moulds.
