Well now after looking at all 40 kits im totaly blown away .
By far the most exciting release (of any maker) well for me anyway.
Harold your choice of poses is spot on...Just perfect for collectors who like masses of troops .
Looking forward to seing what else you will be adding to your ACW line..Maybe some 12 pound Napoleon's down the track?.

Rob, There's more basic infantry types/variations coming. I just did another 4 figure mold today.I think there's another x9 I need to finish.X4 all new poses are also on the workbench.More just on the drawing board.I have many different sketched out and will have to decide which ones to actually do.
I see some gunners in the future too.
I started a Union firing line out of REBAL figures in Shell Jackets and packs.
Put Kepi's on them and Union doublebag Knapsacks and cartridge boxes with the U.S. box plate.
I was bored waiting for the mold to finish and just started assembling figs from a huge pile of unsorted castings and parts .
Will prime and paint a few to show.
I like'em!

Sounds great now you need to get a few hundred painted up and set up a MASSIVE ACW dio

Looking good Harold! I might have to pick up some of these guys, its seams like your having way to much fun kit bashing and converting on these guys.

Have you ever thought about sending out a set to one of those Russian painting studios that do those incredible painted figures? They,d be great for painted samples for the web site like the other casting kit companies do? And get one of each figure painted to Aeroart type standard for the website photos??? I think this would draw you in a lot more bussiness, thats what all these other casting companies do. Then get some high quality photos of them up on the site and I think you,ll see a lot more orders??? I think it might be worth a try with a few figures first and give it a try and see if you notice a difference in sales and if so do a few more.

Yes Tim, I need improvement in all area's! But the painting and images will just have to do.At least for now.It's a good idea. I sent a couple off to A customer
that had done some simply amazing work on Alpha Blackcat Gladiators.

Harold your paint jobs look great, but what I was talking about was sending a couple out for a full Russian style connoisseur glamor shots makeover type paint job and some high quality close up shots to show off the figures to there fullest like these other casting companies do! The type of paint job that says WOW!!! Thats a great looking figure I,ve got to get it!!! Just food for thought??? I figured it might help boost sales???

 

[Fubar]

Tim, You are right of course.The figures are worthy of a top level paint job.
By the way, The Yankee's in shell jackets { Think NY troops} and doublebag knapsacks turned out very nice.Must do some more for at least a 20 man unit.
