First set of Government Troops on their way

Richard has been busy and he has sent me the pictures of the first sets of greens he has completed for the Government troops.
In my opinion some of his best work to date.

We have firing line and marching figures in campaign and regulation uniform with command to match.

There will be more to come with a third pose for the firing line and troops with hat brims turned down.
In the mean time here's the pics.




The marching command figure with the overcoat looks like he's feeling the cold. As soon as I've received them they will be off to Griffin for master and production moulds to be made.

In the meantime better clear the painting desk ready for these chaps.

  1. Love these and I will definitely have a couple of regiments worth when you have them ready. I especially like the command figures.

    1. Guy,
      thanks. Just sent the greens off for the master moulds to be made, so i reckon around 3 weeks before they are in the shop.

  2. I really like these... would they be suitable for the seven years war at Minden?

    1. Rob, Battle of Fontenoy, Minden I would have to check for you. If I remember rightly the hat troops had belly boxes (like the grenadiers) by the time of Minden and the the Grenadiers had started or already had lost the lace wings on the shoulders.

    2. Hmm, if the only thing off is the missing belly box, I shoulf probably be able to cover that with greenstuff.

  3. A lot of people don't get hung up about it and use one or the other for both periods. Been quite a bit of discussion on the miniatures page.
