Revolutionary Wars: Austrians

[Antonio J Carrasco]

Just received my kickstarter Austrians, by Emperor's Toad Emporium (which should hire a good web designer, by the way... it's a pity that their product don't receive the love it deserves)

I must say that I am agreeable surprised by the quality of the sculpts and the castings. The photos don't convey how good the figures actually are.

Scale is 1/56, similar in size to Fife & Drum, Minden Miniatures or Crann Tara Miniatures, maybe slightly -very slightñy- bulkier.

The only "problem" -if you consider it a problem, that is- is that the fusils are not overscaled, which means that barrels are extraordinarily thin and will be a pain in the ass to paint. Despite this, and that bayonets are also properly scaled, not a single fusil came broken. All have arrived in perfect state. That must be thanked to the high quality of the casting process used by the chaps at Griffin Moulds.

I am very happy with my purchase. Hopefully, Emperor's Toad will continue expanding the range. I know that Dutch and Prussians are coming, but I have not use for them. British, more French (you never have enough French!) Spanish and Russians, on the other hand... And cavalry! Need cavalry! And guns! Almost forget guns

Here there is a painted sample. While my painting is not great, I believe it serves to show the quality of the miniature:

Nice job on that figures, do you have a comparison with other figs?

(Actually I like the Crann Tara/Minden proportions)

[Arthur]

The figure does look good indeed. Do you know who sculpted it ?

Michael Percy (yes, Percy, not Perry )

Nope. I have not right now. I can try to take a photo later, with some Minden Austrian grenzer.

That is very nice indeed, great painting and the figure looks lovely, I love Minden, Crann Tara etc, lovely figures and this looks just as good.

I have taken a picture of an Austrian fusilier and a Fife & Drum American militiaman. As you can see they are very similar in size (mind that Emperor Toad Miniatures has thicker bases than Fife & Drum, hence the difference in height)

It is an excellent sculpt! And your paintjob is really good!
Eager to see more of this series!

Perfect. Thanks. They are a little bit fuller but not much. Height looks a good match.
