After the long delays of last year, we’re almost there with the Compagnies Franches de la Marine second stage figures. The photograph shows (almost) the last batch of sculpts, comprising, left to right: rear first 2, the last figure for each of the two packs of soldiers in capotes (hands with muskets are the separate castings at the front); next to them in the rear is one of the 2 figures needed to complete the loading pack – cocking his lock; the first 6 on the left of the front row are the full pack of soldiers advancing; to the right of them is the other figure to complete the loading pack – blowing away loose grains of powder from his lock; the 4 figures on the right complete the firing pack; the remaining 2 figures in the rear are officers for the command pack.

All these are away for master casting at the moment, that leaves just 2 figures to finish sculpting: the drummer and an officer/ensign for the command pack, which are currently on my sculpting bench along with the remaining figures from our third Kickstarter: Allies on the Frontier, more on these soon.

Cheers,
Lance

Very good news and I am excited to see them available for sale!  Have close to 70 painted Galloping Major miniatures, and each one has been a joy to paint, and absolutely lovely to wargame with.

The photograph shows a batch of sculpts which are away for master casting at the moment, comprising, left to right: the first 2 figures are Stockbridge Mohicans from the Command & Characters pack, the next 3 are for the first 2 Rangers / Backwoods Militia packs, the next 3 are more for the Rangers / Backwoods Militia in Shirts pack (these shirts are early hunting shirts without capes or fringing, basically a labourer’s smock worn over the shirt and often the waistcoat); the last 3 figures in this picture are more of the Provincials in cut-down hats.

The rest of the sculpts to complete Allies on the Frontier are currently on my sculpting bench in various stages of progress, along with the last 2 figures from the stretch-goals of the Compagnies Franches de la Marine.

Cheers,
Lance
