For all who preordered Cuirassier... they are on their way now so we managed to beat the 'ship by 31 December' deadline by 9 days! Sales have been very good so far I am pleased to say and more examples of painted work as well as some unit shots will appear very soon.

Thanks for the kind words Günter, in truth I can see all the flaws on them, I just hope no-one looks too closely :lol:

No commissions I'm afraid, I'm too bleedin' slow.

Andy

Barry,

You and Stuart seems to have figured out the 'glitch' and all is in order again :D . Btw., my compliments to Andy, my most loyal Jacobite General :wink: ,
He has done a great job! Very well painted. Does he take commisions? :lol:
Unaffordable I presume :roll:

Cheers,
Günter

plenty more examples of painted cuirassiers now in the shop together with the final 12 codes in tricornes

OK, OK, I'm on my way :P[/quote]

Yes, yes, Santa's Little Helper must work around the clock :lol:

[quote="barr7430"]I enjoyed painting them even though the pressure was on a bit. I have about 24 new samples to put up by Friday, mostly painted by the very talented Andy Thompson. Only my efforts up so far.

I found myself saying, 'must do this regiment for mysekf, ah, must also do this regiment for myself.. etc etc[/quote]

Fortunately SWMBO also requires some stuff posted so I'm most unlikely to forget.

I found myself thinking the same as I completed each trio of figures "must do this regiment for myself".

OK, OK, I'm on my way :P

Barry,

To fight the *glitch* you may put 2x0 in front of the infantry codes, like WLOA 001, as your code system seems to include three-digit numbers.

Only a suggestion,

Günter

Yes I noticed that glitch too but the cuirassiers seem to be in order, its the infantry thatare now out of sequence. I'll speak to Stuart about that.

Someone must have applied a numeric sort order which will give you that result.

Some nice paint-jobs in there Boss!

though at the moment they appear to out of order, in the way computers order numbers eg 1, 10, 11, 12, 13 ,14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20, 21 etc.
I'm sure there's a name for that but it escapes me.

AT LAST... YOU'LL FIND THEM IN THE SHOP. IF ANYONE WANTS THE 12 DIFFERENT TRICORNED CODES THEY'LL BE UP FRIDAY!

Should manage to be able to put the Cuirassiers up for pre order over the next few days. Production moulds are being done now and the first production quantities rolling out. Furiously painting samples to stick up into the shop.

These look lovely Barry and I can see me adding more Austrians and Bavarians to my WSS armies and some Lifeguard for my Irish Jacobites.
Cheers
Dave

As the painting of the Cuirassiers is an ongoing job and to answer the question posed in a couple of private messages, I am happy to create some online albums of both individuals and sets. If anyone wants these mailed personally to them just email wordtwister@hotmail.co.uk and I'll send them on.

You know me by now Gunter... if a project is worth doing, it is worth doing F****** MASSIVELY!

Santa's helper is called 'Andy' You might know him as a Jacobite General :wink:
