I've seen this problem many times, seems to happen 'in transit' so you have to very carefully bend them back straight.
The big hassle is that with some hard metal, it is brittle and will break!
Also sometimes the paint flakes and has to be retouched.
I had a quite few swords on JJD figures...
Great work Damian,
I saw this late last year when I visited Howard and was impressed with it at that stage.
Good to see that he has now been able to show off all the figures in a realistic display, instead of boxes on the floor !!!!
Well Done,
John
Nice one, i is the Marne Taxi that the French Government 'enlisted' help from in September 1914 to ferry their troops to meet the German advance...
Now you need some troops???

Glad to help and yes, it does seem Mirofsoft isn't working now, hopefully it is only to be a shot down time?
If you need the catalogue, I downloaded it and I can email you the .PDF. so send me a PM with your address.
I'd say that the copper strip is used for the belts to hang the scabbard...
Found it ...... in an on-line Labayen catalogue on Mirof's site..
Under the category of Series No3 'Troupes Francais de ligne 1800 - 1815'
32E is 'Carabiniers, cavalier, tenure de parade 1812'
Thefore he will have a white coat, brass helmet with red comb, brass cuirasse and buff belts edged...
If I could see what the hat/head looks like I maybe could ID this guy.
Any chance of a close up shot?
I can see in the instructions that there is an 'N' on the bugler's lace, so it must be Napoleonic.

I was lucky that Jack Duke gave me one of his Danish Kettle Drummers about 20 years ago as a casting and it has now been joined by a couple of Tradition Hussars to lead my parade for the Coronation of King Frederik X earlier this year.
