I keep hearing great things about these but never seem to see any pictures.

Is it foolish of me to believe that if they are as good as I hear and there were photos on the Website and some painted examples they would be big sellers?   ???

Here's a web archive photo of BCN2 Dragoons from the RLBPS website.



I wonder if HLBS woud cast infantry as well if there was enough demand?  Here's a web archive photo of BAN10 Infantry Advancing in Glengarry, also from the RLBPS website.

Those might just work as US cavalry in dress helmet (given a conversion via paintjob).

I just got a note back from Richard saying that he's not going to cast the infantry, as "I'd end up with hundreds of figures that just wouldn't shift due to the number of molds."

OK Gents,
The latest from Richard:

"......I'm planning to get the casting done at the beginning of February so that should give people a week or so to get their orders in. I'll send out PayPal invoices when the figures are ready."

Here's one from Nick:




"Book Early" as they say in some parts.

The Uhlans are Helion and Co and the Prussian Cuirassier are Foundry in the shot for comparison!

BTW...

Can anyone tell me what headgear the Lancer and Hussar figures have?

I am presuming the hussars will have a busby and the lancers a chapska similar to the Prussian Uhlan?

Thanks...

Just wanted to be clear on that since I've never seen any photos of the miniatures.

Me too.  Richard says that only 7 people ordered but that the quantities involved made it worthwhile casting them up.

7 must be the lucky number as I ordered 7 Regiments, and bought 7 lottery tickets this week.  I'm feeling pretty confident that the $1,000,000 will be mine.  Then I'll be able to convince Richard to dust off the infantry moulds too!!
