Is it just me, or do the Nassau infantry and Grenadiers work way better as Swedish army models (with modifications of course) than the Swedish Infantry that were developed?
I have bought 3 box sets of the Swedish infantry, but aside from the marching and march attack pose line infantry, the Grenadiers and Life Guard models are terribly posed. Not really fit for wargaming purposes. When I saw that the Nassau infantry also had the Hungarian knot on their trousers, I thought I could take the models I want from that set and switch the heads around and have better looking and extra poses for the Line Infantry so they don't look exactly the same.
Only problem is that I can only find the Lutzow and Nassau Grenadiers box sets in very low numbers. The basic infantry box is not in stock anywhere.
Admins, can you give any indication on whether they will get restocked. A lot of box sets seem to be out of stock. For example Wurttemberg infantry is also very hard to find.
At some point I hope that all of the minor nations will get reworked or redesigned Marching, Action and Command box sets and not just the majors.
This is a little off topic, but is there a specific plastic glue that works with the softer plastic used by HaT? I have a bottle of Revell plastic cement but it doesn't seem to work (it only seems to work with the harder plastics) and as well as superglue works, I'm getting a bit tired of gluing my fingers together.

Thank you for the reply. I guess I'll just have to wait for another little bit longer and content myself with just the Grenadiers from the other box set for now.
There is something satisfying about seeing a warehouse full of boxes. Even more so when those boxes are full of models.

I assumed he meant the row of boxes. That would be very stingy if it was only that one box.

Forum Admin, could you tell us what other napoleonic restocks are there on those piles?!

Is that warehouse in the USA? Just wondering as I notice that restocks seem to appear there before Europe and the UK.

To be honest If all the boxes contained Nassau infantry they would all find a home there are that many people after them.

I hope set 8161 WWI French 75mm Cannon is somewhere among those boxes, seems odd HaT releases early French artillery crew but the French artillery piece is not available to buy, not all of us have that set.

I wonder what are chances that if someone orders a crate of Hat's German WWII kits, they would actually receive the the Ark of the Covenant, because the picture does look like it is from the same Warehouse as the one from the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark....
