The crappy computer settings at the public library won't let me see any pictures, or access any site from Russia!

Nice! They are holding their muskets wrong, but other than that they are very nice. I especially like the Forage Caps..very well done.

Thank you!!! In the near term (by the standards of Russia

) I'll do more.

Two new figures. Soldiers of the old and new Perry are given for comparison. To be continued!!!

Sepoy, what is the issue with the way the figures are holding their muskets?

The muskets should be turned 45 degrees to the right (from the figure's point of view

. The typical position of arms is Shouldered Arms, which is to hold the trigger guard between thumb and index finger while the musket rests in between arm and body and against the shoulder. Right Shoulder Shift, as shown in the video, gives soldiers a little more comfort while on the march, and is easy to reach from Shouldered Arms. Going to the modern Right Shoulder Arms (as from FM 22-5) from Civil War-era Shouldered Arms would be incredibly awkward, as the soldier would have to rotate the musket 180-degrees on the same shoulder while marching.

ACW Gamer: the muskets at the right shoulder shift should be on their side lock facing upwards.

Nice photo. And note the lock is held at or slightly above shoulder level. This was done to assist the soldier in keeping the rifle upright. At too much of an angle you could inadvertently bonk the soldier marching behind you (or if with a fixed bayonet, doing even worse damage).
