Christmas Reminder

Just a quick line to remind you the readers, that I will be once again closing down for the whole of December again this year, as I find that it helps me to fully recharge the batteries for the next year.

I apologize for the slow rate of new figures released this last year, but it really couldn't be helped, because Richard and his good lady have had to endure insurmountable problems with their respective, very elderly parents, who have all become ill/fully dependent, all at the same time. Richard has just had no free time to work in any real meaningful way and he has also got to sculpt for other people as well as just me, so his time is shared round in "turns" between his clients.

I am hoping that he becomes available to me during my closure for December and if that happens, expect to see a few more civilians, maybe some French Hussars and some high command. All this is of course dependent on how much time he has to work and at this stage I can not really make any promises about when stuff will be ready.

I would like to thank all of you who have continued to support me with this venture over the last year (it has been going for five years now would you believe?) and I hope to keep bringing new figures out for as long as Richard is available to sculpt. Thanks for your patience and I hope you all have the kind of Christmas and New Year you would wish for yourselves.

Happy gaming,

Frank

Happy Christmas, Frank, and I hope you get a full recharge of your batteries! I also hope Richard keeps sculpting for you for ages yet, as I have so recently "joined up".

More French would be nice - yes, hussars, and perhaps some minor variants of existing types - so for the French, a cuirass under the coat of the line cavalry and bearskin grenadier hats on cavalry (with & without cuirass) and on the dragoon, and on the infantry musketeer for grenadiers & Legion types. also a mirliton on the legion infantry would be useful too.

Best wishes, Rohan.
