Thanks for posting these Production Crew. I like the look of them. I was concerned about some of the musketeers modelling in the test shots (the firing figure) looking a bit spindly as though they had been denied rations for a few weeks. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. They look every bit as good as the SYW Prussian command figures. Pity about not having a horse to go with the officer but I guess the design decision about that was made long ago. Looking forward to all three sets becoming available.

Although only the Drummer could be used with some future release of Grenadiers I do not understand producing the figures with hats off and not providing two Grenadier Hats (one with front plate and the other without) to replace the Tricorn of the Drummer. Or is there also going to be a Grenadier Command Set with Junior Officers armed with muskets?

Amazing Figures! Very well sculpted, detailed and moulded, in my opinion even better than the already very good Prussians.But apart from the lack of the horse, and times of production, that I expect very long... I ask, why separate hats if in this case there are not optional headgears!? Like I already saw in the sprue of austrian musketeers. Very good instead the decision to provide separate arms and accessories.🙋

This is the correct answer. The tricorne cannot be molded on the head with a 2 part mold, a last minute change by the tool maker. |

Thanks for the technical explanation, me too thought that the reason was due to the process of production. So for separate arms and accessories, useful to avoid those bad "full spaces" in the figures and to give them more natural appearence. But, when will it be possible to see this set and the other two 1:32 7YW Austrians sets on the market?

Excellent looking figures!
7YW is not my period, but these look so good I may have to buy some just to enjoy them.
Cheers

Aah woah! So nice! Really love to see progress in this long term project! Well done HAT, figures look really smooth!
Can't wait for their Napoleonic colleagues!
Best regards,
Stan

Are the Austrian 1/32nd figures available?
I don't seem to be able to find any, so wondered if they were only available to those who supported the Kickstarter a while ago?
Also, will they make other nations a d do artillery and cavalry?
These are lovely looking figures and ha e inspired me to obtain some 1/32nd Prussians

Hi Admin- Be happy to paint a test sprue. Would use HaT French Dragoon horse for the officer.

Is this set really going to be released without a proper horse for the mounted officer? By proper I mean with the correct horse furniture.

I think there are already several command sets without horses.

I have been waiting for a long time to see these lovely figures, and am beyond pleased with the detail and quality. I assure you when these are released I shall spend an embarrassingly large amount of money on many sets to put under the brush, thank you for sharing these.
