These look really great! And wouldn't some SYW British and French go ever so nicely with them...

Traditionally the wargames focus, not unreasonably, has been upon Prussia and Austria, but the British, and especially the French, were involved in the continental European campaigns. What of Minden and Rossbach?
In addition, French and British regulars opens up the global conflict. I am sure the French-Indian war campaigns will be popular, because the hobby is strong in North America. It also opens up the West Indies and India.

Exciting news! Been wondering whether to go ahead and paint my 7YW Prussians or not; this has made up my mind.

What are we being shown here, the final masters or a computer generated image? Hopefully the former. With the differences between the Grenadiers made by Revell I now have to research which regiments had the "Belly Box" and which the slung Cartrige Box in order to get the facings the correct colour. What would be the expected time line for the three sets to reach the public?
Best regards,
Malcolm

What are we being shown here, the final masters or a computer generated image? It might be kind of both. From comments HaT has made here I think that now the masters are scanned into a digital form and the moulds are produced using a CAM program. They look pretty good whatever they are.

I'm sure everyone's already noticed it, but just in case you hadn't...
On the Hat site there is a poll for which format you would like to see this set launched in-a Marching set with both regular and grenadiers and Action set with both regs and grenadiers or, a Grenadier set (including both marching and action poses) and a musketeer set.
I like the choice that has been put to us, well done Hat!

I thank you for pointing out the poll. I can see the merits of both. Normally, PSR doesn't like mixed sets as in Musketeers and Grenadiers in the same box claiming a lower number of poses. However, in this case the number of poses is already known and will not alter. Personally, I think that when Hat recently showed us the line drawings with a two to one ratio between Musketeers and Grenadiers in both Marching and Action poses they hit the nail on the head. This is a much better ratio than the 1:1 used by Revell and also satisfies their Customers demands, some liking the Marching sets while others (me included) prefer the Action sets. For their Prussians I bought them with a 1:3 ratio of Action to Marching. So my vote goes towards keeping the MAC format and mixing Musketeers and Grenadiers at the 2:1 ratio.
Best regards,
Malcolm

I would like to see roughs of The American War of Independence to include infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to include figure of George Washington, Lafayette, Greene, and Lee Washington Cavarly.

They look great!
What's this stage classified as and what is the next stage?

Post by Malcolm on Jan 23, 2018 14:40:46 GMT
This stage is classified as same computer generated view at what the figures may look like in a different colour than that used before. The next stage will probably be some of the other computer generated figures spun round to different angles and shown in a colour that is easy on the eye.
Best regards,
Malcolm

They look great! What's this stage classified as and what is the next stage? All the digital scans are fixed! Next stage would be tooling.

They look great. So does this mean they are getting close to being done. By the end of the year? Just hoping.

They look great but..was anything decided about the size? If they are gonna be 26-27cm, you have a problem. I think the reason 7YW never took off is because of the (giant) sizes of the Revell, Zvezdas and HaT's sets, I collect 1/72 figures, if they are over 24 cm then I'm not interested, but I can understand if people want to match these new figures with the old giants.

According to previous replies, the size should match that of Revell 7YW Austrians.
