[turrabear]

do you have a realise date for your cavalry standards yet and what standards will be relised.

We already have some done. They have not yet been released but will come pretty soon. The best way to group and offer is where we are up to at this point but the following have already been done:

Lifeguards
Oxford's Blews
Laniers
Villiers
Coys
Waldek
Heyden
Berlo
Galmoys
Wurttemberg
Horse Grenadiers
Gardes du Corps van zijn Majesteit

Any news on the horse figures?

[barr7430]

It has been painfully slow Dannie but we are just about there. I often hesistate to explain the whole tedious story to people in case they lose the will to live but here is where we are:

1. Horses are all good to go in production moulding terms.
2. Master casts of troopers were late and now have to be hand delivered to me in Dubai so that I can 'sign them off' as production ready.I will see them next Saturday(30th). If they are OK, I will order production quantities to be manufactured immediately. They will ship from the UK within 2-3 weeks of that date.
3. With the cavalry we wanted to get the sculpts exactly right. After some protos were cast we saw a few things that needed a little work, nothing major but the difference between 'great' and 'outstanding' is often very small. With the 3 way bounce between sculptor-caster and me and other day to day things getting in the way that is where the time has leaked. We are there now bar the shouting and if I was in the UK they would be signed off for production now(already actually!)
4. We will offer the figures in a variety of sets as stated before but the initial number of different physical castings will be 9 : 3 multi arm troopers in formal dress, 3 energetic troopers in less formal dress, 3 command models in formal dress. With a combination of horses these will be purchased with standing/cantering/galloping mounts thus increasing the number of combinations.
5. Within a relatively short period the following will also be released: 3 more enthusiastic troopers in informal dress, command pack in informal dress,a variety of cuirassiers and officers in helmets and hats.
6. Following that, mounted dragoons and more continental style troopers.

I won't take pre orders till I am sure of the quality and our ability to deliver quickly but it is now days rather than weeks. Pre order customers will as always get priority and probably a little something extra in there.

Keep the questions coming folks. the horse standards will also be available soon we are just stoking up the data bank befoe first releases

exellent news hopfully the cavalry standards will cover all the jacobite cavalry and dragoon regiment's.

[quindia]

There will be enough standards to cover most of the horse and dragoon regiments, though we know even less about most of these than we do about the foot. Those that we do know will be faithfully presented and those that we don't will get a heavy dose of artistic license tempered by historical precedence and convention (or maybe I just thought it looked cool). I'm shooting to represent maybe half of the unknown units - and you can simply use these banners for other unknown units if I don't give name to one of your faves!

Been burning the candle at both ends of late - summer is always a busy time in the life of of my mild mannered alter-ego. The first flags for horse should be available when the models are (give or take)!

[turrabear]

many thanks quindia .realy looking forward to seeing the cavalry dragoon standards . keep up the good work.

[Rob Herrick]

Do you know if Villiers' Regiment of Horse kept the same standards when they became Leveson's in 1694 and then Harvey's in 1699?

Because the Queen's Bays fought in Spain and not Germany/Flanders, I am short of information at the moment.

[quindia]

I'm afraid I have no idea, Rob. Unit flags did not automatically change with a new leader, but I don't have any specific info on the unit in question at the moment...

Sounds like a very varied list already Barry, I'll need to get a copy of the Henry Luttrell standard as that's the unit I'm currently working on having just finished another base of the Luttrell dragoons and trying to fit around running after my god daughter who is over from Germany and staying with us for two weeks Gross Gott!
