Prussian's maybe?.

Just a quick thought, i am considering converting some BN's to prussian reserve infantry including command.

More work on the Hinton Hunt ...

Stopping for a break , preped 24 BN's HH so far today. looking good so far, i plan to ajust the pose from standing to marching, i did one already as a tester and he looks good. I will be useing another BN to convert to a drummer and one to a flag bearer aswell and i'll use one of the charging figures i filed and preped yester day as a British officer for the set.

Started the Hinton Hunt conversions toady!, i got 6 figures ready and preped for modification. The figures im useing are BN's and the first figure i will be doing is a French Grenadier Officer, Line Infantry. I have done the hat, i cant beleive it took me all day just to get 6 figures ready...my hands are sore .

Sculpting 20mm that will not kill off Hinton Hunt figure's.

Im in the process of deciding how to sculpt 20mm figures that wont kill off or push out Hinton Hunt figure's. I have seen some new 20mm figure's that have been produced to fill gap's in the hinton hunt range but feel in some way's they will do more harm than good.

I have the feeling that new 20mm figures will out shine HH and slowly push them out, although the die hard fans of HH will no doubt keep HH alive in one way or another.

Granted the new figure's are well sculpted but in some ways a bit too well sculpted.
