Just a quick update to let you know that Chris Tubb is currently sculpting the British infantry, and I have asked him to progress with 4 moulds as discussed back in January 2023 (yes that long ago), text in red are minor changes I have suggested:
Mould 1: Officer & Drummer
- Officer with shoulder sash and hand to take partisan, musket or sword.
- 1 x spontoon for officer
- Drummer with hanging sleeves
- 1 x tricorne head
- 1 x grenadier mitre head*
* I wonder if it is worth replacing this with a tricorne with a 'Minden Rose', (officers did not wear mitre caps, which if wanted can come from the grenadier mould)?
Mould 2: Standard Bearer and NCO
- Standard Bearer (Officer with shoulder sash)
- NCO and hand to take pole arm or musket.
- NCO musket
- 1 x tricorne head
- 1 x grenadier mitre head*
* Perhaps another variation of a tricorne with a 'Minden Rose'?
Mould 3 - Hat Men (tricorne) - without sword, belly box, or shoulder wings.
- Marching torso
- Arm for marching
- Advancing torso
- 2 x tricorne head
Mould 4 - Grenadiers (mitre cap) - with sword, shoulder wings, belly box and match box.
- Marching torso
- Arm for marching
- Advancing torso
- 2 x mitre cap head (I have suggested one with 'GR' and one with 3 feathers)
As always feedback would be welcome to help try and get this right.
