So...as a new FL collector it would be good to know, just how hard is it to come by the retired French Nap. Artillery Set these days?

Chris
 
It is a very interesting set. I bought one of the last ones. The sculpting is a little more static than for example french infantry figures but the painting is very very nice. The figure I like the best from this set is the drummer. I think that this set is going to become an icon in 10 years...

And no mine is not for sale :)

At some point, Matt will do a new one. So do not despair. The Napoleonic Wars (or rather "The Wars of the Coalitions") are a major focus of First Legion.

Unfortunaltely, it appears, it will be a while until he get to it. Like Saxon cavalry. ^&grin
 
The French artillery set was probably the first FL I got. Part of the reason was the completeness of the gun crew. I also got one of the last ones before they sold out. I'm sure many will disagree, but I still like it best of any of the FL Nap gun sets.

Hi Terry ,
Maybe you had me in mind as a possible disagreeing chap :wink2: This one goes back a bit . Just for the record I love the French Artillery set and it is my favorite of the three but I still think the Russian set is the best sculpted and painted of the three ^&grin . That may all change if and when we get a Prussian or Bavarian set... I have it from a very reliable source that the last eight were sold to a certain collector , and no it wasn't me :mad: he beat me to them . I'm also in the market for one or two if anyone should want to part with one . Regards Gebhard

Only one of a few who share your view of how the French artillery set ranks. :)

And someone bought the last 8 sets {eek3} Do you think for a big display or to store and resell.? I must have gotten my set just before that big purchase. I would have been very disappointed if they had sold out before I got mine.

Thanks for the replies guys, I am sure we will see a new one from Matt one day but it would be nice to have one sooner!

Someone bought 8 of this artillery set at once! If that is truly for a diorama, that is going to be one heck of a display.{eek3}

Hi Chris ,
I thought I was at the top of the list ^&confuse,, I guess the allure of hoping for a big score on Ebay was too tempting .. Oh well ..Good luck I won't be bidding .. Gebhard

Gebhard,

I sent you a PM regarding this, there was a reason I didn't contact you.
