A couple of weeks ago I received pictures of the greens that Richard Ansell had sculpted for AWI Hessians that will be added to the Fife & Drum figure range. We have Hessian musketeers and grenadiers, both in marching poses and firing line poses. Fusiliers and Jagers will be added in the future.
I will post the pictures of the officers and standard bearers tomorrow.
Undoubtedly, these figures could be used as SYW Prussians as well as for Hessians.
I admire greatly the natural posture of these figures. They look at ease in their skin. Very very nice work from Mr. Ansell.
ReplyDeleteLovely sculpts and of natural proportions, rather than chunky and 'heroic'.
ReplyDeleteNicely done - will be a great addition figure ranges.
ReplyDeleteAre they available for sale? Will you have them at the SYW convention?
ReplyDeleteJeez, I just sent them to the caster this week. Give them a little time to make 16 moulds and spin the metal. 😄
DeleteSorry, a little over zealous? Take my money? :)
ReplyDeleteThat's OK, I'm as anxious to see them as you are. :)
DeleteOMG I must have some! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe Hessians will be available from Crann Tara Miniatures in the UK for our customers in the UK and the Eurozone.
DeleteThey look great!
ReplyDeleteJust when I finally thought I had enough Prussians....you're an evil little man, Jim. Some seriously good sculpts. I'm in. Tom
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to have a Prussian firing line in the range, so I was able to kill two birds with one stone with these Hessians.
DeleteThey look great! Nice to see a range specifically for AWI, rather than just repackaging the Minden SYW Prussian Grenadiers;-)
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, any move to produce scots in trews for AWI?
