New Saxons - where are we - an Update

I thought it was about time I gave an update on the production of the new Saxon range.

First all the musketeers and Grenadiers have had production moulds made and I've received around 19 kilos of figures ( that's  a lot!)

The production moulds for the command and artillery are being made now and should be ready in about two weeks so I intend to send out all the infantry and artillery figures for the orders received so far - army deals therefore will go out as a split order.

I'm hoping that the cavalry will be ready in about 4 weeks - as you recall we made a mistake and made the figure with a sabreteche - it has been changed- however that does mean I have cuirassiers that will serve as Prussians  and so I will be putting charging Prussian cuirassiers on the site when they are available.

Also progress on the Saxon rapid firing cannon - the first 3D print has been done, there is some cleaning up to do and a few tweaks but we are nearly there, really pleased. You will see there are two barrels - Christain Rogge who has been a great help on this project as has Dr. Stephen Summerfield says its unclear if the barrel had dolphins or not so we've done both. Next step once the tewaks are done if to get a metal master cast.
