A brief update about the plastic Austrians. They are in the tooling stage at present and will be released very soon. We will have some of the first box art to show you in the next few days and some plastics to show off in a few weeks. 4 sets are being released in close succession, Austrians in helmets, shako’s, Grenadiers and Landwehr. The sets will consist of 56 figures, 48 infantry, 2 officers on foot, 2 standard bearers, 2 drummers and 2 mounted colonels. This gives flexibility to the sets for those who use 24 man units rather than 48 man units.

All the figures can be assembled in march attack if you wish but there are some arm options for firing, loading, at porte and at charge. There are also some various right arms to add a little dynamism to the march attack poses if you wish. Back-packs, canteens and bayonets are one piece castings and heads are separate. One third of the figure bodies have both arms attached, one third have the left arm attached and one third have no arms attached to enable some variation and conversion possibilities.

We will be starting to produce metals to compliment out plastic Austrian range.
