Loads of British

Thought I'd post some pictures of the growing British. Apart from one Minden figure and one RSM then they're all Crann Tara figures. Most of the standards are from Iain at Flags of War and jolly nice they look to.

 The below unit is Fleming's 36th Foot painted by Mark Allen :)

Garde Officers

Some sneak peeks at the greens of the Garde Francais Officers John has been working on-
I like them - a lot.
He's now working on NCO and drummer. I hope to pick up the full set on the 5th/6th September.

New Releases available to pre.Order

The new Jacobite horse should be in stock in 2-3 weeks time therefore I'm offering the usual 10% discount on orders over £10 for the new figures placed up until the 15th August. This offer also includes the two new French Infantry 'at ready ' poses.

Simply enter Baggot's when asked for coupon. Any problems get in touch.

Don't forget that Fitzjame's Horse is suitable for standard French Cavalry wearing plastron under the coat, and the Prince's Lifeguard is suitable as the French Garde Ecosse Horse. 
Just in case you missed the pictures first time.

More French!

One of my customers has been asking me if I will be producing a kneeling firing French infantry figure.
At the time I replied that it wasn't on the list of figures I had planned for Richard to sculpt. It's always difficult balancing the cost of production with predicted sales.
However thought I'd have a go at converting a couple of the green's Richard has done.
The results are below, a kneeling French infantry firing, French Officer with raised sword for the firing line and in shot the British Dragoon horse holder and horse nears completion.
I'm quite pleased with them :)

More sneak peeks

John continues to be busy, some pictures of the forthcoming Fusilier de Morliere cavalry.
He's doing a grenadier a well which will see this contingent complete.

In addition a few pics of some of the new figures painted by one of my regular customers Harold Batten

 The British Officer is one I've made myself off a Richard Ansell dollie. I like to send a few out to see what customers think - he isn't too bad so I may get some more cast.

Jacobite Cavalry and French - Metal Masters.

I have received the metal masters back from Griffin ready to sort into production moulds.
First up are the French 'at ready' the standing figure is one I converted from one of Richard's other figures and I'm quite pleased how he has come out.

 Baggots Hussars on foot and mounted, I'm going to look at doing some conversions on these to make mounted Highlanders.

 Fitz James' Horse

 Princes Life Guard also suitable for the Garde Ecosse.

The bad news is that there is a fault on the Life Guard Command the scabbards have all become bent in the mould making and will have to be repaired ( almost done) and new master mould made so the command will be a few weeks late.
Watch out for pre.order offers.

Sneak Peeks

Thought I'd post a few teasers.

I should be getting the metal masters for the Jacobite cavalry from Griffin next week :)
In the meantime John has been busy doing some more Garde Francais - two poses

 and he tells me he has started on NCO's and Officers - great news

In addition based on a new dollie is a marching Savoia infantry figure. Grenadiers won't be far behind.

My attempts at conversions and sculpts continue

Charging British Infantry, Dragoon horseholder, Highland Officer and highland casualty - I do intend to get these cast up and I'm working on a horse for the horseholder!!!!

This is a converted Minden British Officer into a mounted Highland Officer, I've spoken with Jim and he's quite happy for me to convert some more figures. If there's enough interest we will make these available.
