Austrian Sappers this is a nice surprise is the Napoleonic sapper to made in plastic or metal? If plastic is he to be added to the 1/72 current German Austrian command set or the future 1/72 Hungarian command set ?

Plastic. Planning on adding to current German Austrian Command with helmet.
Also both figures shown in 1/32.

Correct. It's a late addition. It will replace one of the drummers.
It is also planned to be in the Hungarian set with a slightly different pose.

Will the STW figure get a box on his waist belt and a musket on his back?

The 7YW figure was designed without the musket on his back. His pouch on his waist is missing.

Looking good! I look forward to these sappers in 1/32

Figures look good.
I am personally not a fan of sapper figures. However, it seems that many others are, which should support sales of these sets.

I would love an officer in white coat & helmet using their sword in a more active pose (so can be used either in combat, alongside a fire line, or with advancing troops. Something like this (but with both feet on the ground).

Another option would be a pose like the officer in the foreground, leading troops with pistol and sword drawn. This picture is one of my great inspirations for collecting 1/32 Napoleonics; would LOVE to have Austrian infantry troops to recreate something like it!

So you would want another officer in place of the sapper or just the officer pose as above?

The other 5 poses in the 1/72 Austrian command set being developed I think are good poses for the 1/32 set. But I would rather have the first Austrian sets sooner with the Sapper, than much later with my suggested officer pose.

I prefer to have sappers and not too many officers. Please add both wonderful sappers to the sets.

I want some of these, in 1/72. The rules I'm playing have a place for engineers.
Don't know whether I think these should be part of an infantry box, or should be part of a command box. Perhaps the latter is more feasible.
And, of course, the Austrians are not the only ones who had sappers. . .

The Sapper would be a good addition to the 1/72 Austrian (German) Infantry command set, perhaps when it comes to making the 1/72 Hungarian Infantry you may wish to swap the Sapper for an extra officer, anyone requiring a Hungarian Sapper can easily convert from the one in the Austrian (German) set by pointing the cuffs and altering gaiters into ankle boots.

For the 1/72 command set it looks like each sprue has 1 mounted officer and 2 officers on foot. With four sprues to a box that's 12 officers per box and it's a command set so you can buy as many sets as you need to get the officers you want. Does anyone really need the sapper to be replaced by an officer?
As the sapper is proposed to replace one of the drummers on the sprue I think the only issue is weather you want a sapper or two drummers. Personally I can live without drummers so a sapper would be great.

I think this points to a clear distinction between the needs/ wants of 1/72 and 1/32 collectors at to set composition.
I completely understand why the 1/72 community would want sappers given the number of officer poses/figures they get per set.
But I think it is very different for the1/32 Austrian Napoleonic command set given the more limited number of poses and figures per set. But as I said, I would rather have the Austrian 1/32 Napoleonics sooner with Sapper, rather than much later with another officer (especially if Hat is going to make separate Grenadier and Hungarian infantry sets).

For the Napoleonic 1/32 sets of Austrian infantry; what are you invisioning as far as sets go?
Are you looking to do German line helmet MAC sets? Mixed german line & Grenadiers in MAC sets? Or a separate line set and then a Grenadier set of M & A poses with 6 figures/spruce like you did for 7years war Austrians?
Wod you then also do Hungarian line and Grenadier sets too?
Hungarian line & Grenadiers in shako/bearskins in MAC or do similar to what you did for the French light units (for both line & gren so a set of mixed M & A poses and then a mixed command set? Or a command set with separate shako & bearskin heads?
I think if you do deprecate Hungarian sets after the German sets it would be a great oprtunity to experiment as the community will finally have Austrian infantry but will still be interested in Hungarian troops.
Cheers
