Great to hear that Forum Admin! Great news! So they will be Austrians or Hungarians? And only with helmets or with separate shako too?

Nothing is set in stone but it looks to be Austrians with some ability for conversion.

Was looking at the original 1/32 Austrian master pictures on the Hat site and noticed that November of this year will be 10 years since they debuted on the site. Would be fantastic to have them available by November!

Hello,
Well, I must admit, I'm deeply disappointed. You had fantastic Deckels and great engravers. Now you have all that old technology perfected (you should by now) and digital scanning, digital printing, digital engraving technologies and you cannot make properly even one set?? You don't need any historians paid - you have people,who can show you all details, help you for free, for the idea. Just take a look at these scans (if someone don't get it - these are renders of laser scanned actual figurines). I'm sorry. It's 20 years by now? And you still cannot get uniforms right? I mean - important things, not even details. Cartridge boxes for god's sake! Just above the knees?? Really? I skip the rest. Sad. I hoped you will at some point understand why you cannot sell your products and invest in old, good styrene - no, you prefer gummy bears.
I'm sorry I sound angry, but it's 2019. Have you ever seen Chinese figurines in 1/72 lately? For now they are making fantasy figurines. Well, level of detail is XXIc. 1/10 of 1mm is not a problem anymore. Can you see a difference?
All The Best, I just hope to to see HaT better ComR

Thanks for your post. The initial renders shown have been changed following input from members of the community here. Gummy bears: We switched to a softer plastic following input from consumers who wanted a plastic that could be painted and glued. This plastic was tested by members of the community. Following more input, other different versions were tried out. Finally following more input, we have completely discontinued that soft plastic. It has not been in use for some years. We appreciate input from members of the community. It has allowed us to test and try different ideas and continually improve our products. Please don't ever change, keep your input coming and thanks to all!

Hi Hat,
Can you confirm the box quantities for the 3 sets listed above, looking really good really appreciate the extra drummers and flag bearers. please consider this as a new standard for future sets as it would allow command stands to be more accurately portayed and also allow us to order extra command boxes for some of the older sets that lacked a decent command element.

These look very nice indeed.
I would like to re fight Aspern Essling and these would be most useful.
However, I do not understand how standing at attention, a most useless pose for dioramas and war gamers alike can be considered ‘ in action’.
Best wishes,
Chris

Best wishes, Chris I agree, these are just right for the 1809 battles. I also agree regarding the 'at attention' figure. I'd prefer not to have any of these. A better option in my view, since it is a useful pose for either front or second ranks, is the 'at the ready' pose, with musket at a high port ready to bring down to fire. This pose features, among others, in the old Revell Napoleonic Prussian Infantry set, and to my mind looks good and is also authentic.

I like the standing at attention poses myself (just adding another opinion for balance) and I am glad to have them. I like formations of troops standing on the battlefield waiting for the order to advance. "Hurry up and wait" has been the rule for soldiers going back through history. I can understand the consternation at them being in the "In Acton" set; perhaps, though they DO fit as they ARE in a state of "inaction? Sorry, I couldn't help myself...

Standing at attention figure: The marching set (Set 1) is designed first. Anything else is put into the second set, which was named "action" but maybe more accurately be named Set 2. It is our understanding that Napoleonic soldiers stood on the battlefield for long periods of time waiting for action to commence but perhaps dioramists would rather have figures in action? Lastly, the standing at attention figure is included in Set 2 for mold space considerations, i.e. fill up dead space which is not enough for another action figure but just enough for a slim figure.
There is now a poll asking enthusiasts if they wish to have standing at attention figures for sets which have not been designed yet.

Beautiful sculpting. Only one constructive criticism though. Why have some of the muskets not got musket slings?

This pose features, among others, in the old Revell Napoleonic Prussian Infantry set, and to my mind looks good and is also authentic. As I have previously stated, the "High Port" position was not common in this period. The "Ready" position actually often had the musket held vertically, with the lock at chin level after cocking. In this position, the commander has an instant view of how "ready" his Company is.

Not to be the odd man out but I like the at attention pose for the second rank of my units. At ready would be cool as well, thinking that would need to be with arms cast separately? I enjoy the 1813 campaign, lets me field Prussians and Russians on top of the 1809 cast of characters.
