Happy New Year to you all, I trust you have all had an enjoyable festive break and I hope 2020 will be kind to you and only bring small problems!
So what's the plans for 2020? Scheithers Feikorps have gone for casting and that will bring to an end the figures required to support Charles Grants book on small actions of the Seven Years war. It will be my intention to sell units for each of the actions at a discounted price both for Charles' rules and for Sharpes Practice After that the main focus for Richard Ansell will be sculpting models for the French Indian War - the French Marines are done and next up will be the Hurons followed by the Mohawks. I hope to have the full range finished by year end.
I am hoping Andy Stadden will return to full form this year and this will see the completion of the Saxons and quite possibly the start of a new project!!
Digital sculpts - these continue at a pace with the Austrians and Hungarians now complete - Dan is on with the Prussian Jaegers to be followed by the Grenz.
I have done test casts of all the figures in 28mm and feel a little more work is required before I release. The 40mm project is still ongoing albeit slowly, there is a major decision to be made on how to fund this project if it is to go in production.
Other scales - I am in conversation with a couple of other people regarding producing the figures in other scales - if this does happen it will most probably be private commissions. There is also the possibility of releasing figures in resin for those that desire.
These chaps are an all resin battalion of Austrians with a mounted officer on the recently designed horse
So a full year - in between all this I would still like to get the charging French infantry done and probably charging British and French horse! I will also return to looking at releasing a small range of casualties as a lot of customers have asked for them to use as markers. As always I am open to comments and suggestions. All the best.
