Hi,

hope to have the first packs available soon.

Empress Miniatures is going to handle worldwide sales and distribution and I'll
manage the ranges and production.

First packs:

PARAGUAY
PAR1.Line Infantry marching/advancing (shouldered musket)
PAR2.Militia marching/advancing (shouldered musket)
PAR3.Line/Militia command (2 officers, 2 std. bearers, bugler, drummer)

Cheers,

Nuno

Nice!  Good variety to the set and the chiripás are well sculpted. My one criticism, if you will indulge me, is that the legs, particularly the ankles, seem a bit thick. Cankles is the somewhat cruel description applied to women with this feature. Paraguyans can be quite stocky but the legs do look a bit odd. Maybe a trick of the light/ photography. If not something the sculptor might work on with future releases.

You can always use a file to slim the cankles  :D Constructive criticism is always welcome. I'll talk to the sculptor to get it right next time.

I had a good look at the figures and the ankles look thicker on the photos. The figures are really quite slim.

Hi folks,

First packs at the mould maker. Hope to have news in a few days. Work will start on the next batch ASAP. Brazilian Line Infantry is next followed by Dismounted Paraguayan Cavalry.

Thanks for the support. I hope to have enough packs at the end of the year to field both armies.

Cheers,

Nuno
