More progress :) work on Government Troops

Richard  has been in touch to say he hopes to be able to start on the dollies for the Government troops  and the Irish Piquets in the next couple of weeks.
This will mean once they are done we can plan in to have the troops sculpted and the work will be quicker, it also means I can increase the variety.
First up will be the Government troops in campaign dress, turn backs unbuttoned, some with tricornes some with Tricorne turned down.
Marching and a firing line of standing firing and 'charge bayonet' , because of taking this route it also means I can get the Government troops in regulation dress completed as well.
Still giving thoughts to the Irish Piquets but they won't be far after.
Richard is also sculpting a mounted Dollie and some more dynamic poses for either skirmishing troops or the dismounted Government Dragoons.
Things are looking good.
Now all I need to do is sell some figures to pay for this!

New Figures now in stock

Just a short update to say that the new figures are all now in stock and uploaded on to the shop, so now's your time to get a few !!!!!!!

Highland Command and Lowlanders painted

Whilst waiting for Griffin to complete the production moulds and cast the first stock I have managed to complete painting the spare masters

First up are the lowlanders, nice figures and too be honest the plaid could be painted as anything as it has been made to be fairly non descript.

 Next is the lowland drummer flanked by two Highland Officers which will make up the lowland command for the moment.

 Highland Officers and piper.

 Finally the two firing figures, the one in trews can be painted as a lowlander or highlander as you see fit as can the two lowlander figures.
I shall be updating the shop over the next couple of days so when the stock arrives I'm ready to hit the road! (wishful thinking!)

Royal Ecossais painted

Whilst waiting for the production moulds to be finished and the first stock to arrive I've started painting some of the spare master figures I had cast.
The lowlanders and Highlanders are under way but the Royal Ecossais are done.
All self explanatory but the first is the advancing figure.

 A picture of all the figures

 The Command

 Finally marching

As usual with Richards sculpts they are a joy to paint and I can't wait to start on a full regiment, that of course will be for the imagi-nation so it will be around 50 figures strong.

Lowlanders should be next!

Metal Masters arrive

No pics for this. The metal masters arrived yesterday so I will work out mould contents today and get them back in the post on Monday.
That means I should have stock in for mid.September.
Website will be updated this week with the new packs and a may even a get a few of the new ones painted:)

New Greens finished and on their way

Been a long time coming but the new greens are done and on their way to me.
First up are the new Highlanders, a couple of firing figures,Officers and a piper.

 Then we have the Royal Ecossais I think the Officer is in a brilliant pose.

 Finally some lowlanders, in the short term Highland Officers will have to stand in.

Overall 13 new figures doubles the range!! I will start to update the web shop over the next couple of weeks. I guess it will be around 3 -4 weeks before I have moulds made and figures cast etc. But keep checking here and the shop for progress and updates.

Good news from Richard

Richard contacted me today to say he was well on with the highlanders and he'd started on the low landers and Royal Ecosse. He will send me pictures of the greens to post as he completes the figures so its looking good at last1:)
