Napoleonic British 44th Foot (1 Viewer)

[Ragnar]

Some nice looking Napoleonic sets on the way Brits this time around...Wounded drummer looks good!
The covers on the shako's look ok but would prefer them with out...Im a bit like that with the Scots Greys they allways just look better without the covers.

What do you guys think?

Any Naps are a welcome sight for me! I agree about the oil skins, while I realize they are a realistic and necessary feature I do prefer figures without them. In either case I will certainly be adding these great looking figures to my sets!

I think they look better without them too.

Yeah totally agree the oilskins are a bit less eye cathing than shako but still great figures!^&grin

They are great mate especially like the officer with regimental colour and sword held high! More wounded/ lying dead figures would be great as these are great to fill t

he spaces in battles with, btw loved the dead British horse! Really adds to the realism of battle, what about a dead French horse with officer unpinning himself from under it ?

It's nice to have a sculptor on here! What else have you done so far for Britains? Will you be the new primary sculptor for Napoleonics? If so, no complaints on my front- these are TOP NOTCH figures! I especially love the drummer, NCO, and the general way in which these figures capture the not-too-flashy look of British line troops. They have a certain down and dirty look that not many others do.

Hi and thank you very much,
I have been with WB for just over a year now and my introduction were the WW1 Germans.
I really do feel fortunate to be given this opportunity and enjoy it immensely.
Of course I am working on several pieces now, although I certainly cannot say I am the primary Napoleonic sculptor as generally I sculpt as requested by the General Manger, Richard and now of course Ken.
That said I really enjoy doing these and it is an era of great interest to me and I do hope I get the opportunity to do more :smile2::smile2::smile2:
I truly admire the work of Ken and Alan and I am loving being part of the team
My very best wishes

Totally agree mate.
This is a very nice release and I actually like the realism of the oilskin covers over the Shakos.^&cool
More wounded and just more poses to go with these "in-square" poses. Love the drummer and the colour bearers.
I will be buying all of these but I don't particularly want to buy too many multiples of the same pose.
It's always difficult when you are trying to create a diorama of an infantry square. You need so many figures but you don't want to have too many identical figures. So more poses in this release please.^&grin

We are already working on it!
