Good observation, Ralphus. The basic drillbook pose, but oddly under-represented, in any scale.
A couple years back, I embarked on a small project of having some 40mm WSS French infantry sculpted. That was the very first pose I selected. He casts pretty well in one piece, so I suppose the rarity's more on account of people preferring action poses to static. Even though army life has always featured a lot of standing around. ;-)
Another couple of pics, command and firing line. http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z39/cpl_trim/Clairon/Command25.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z39/cpl_trim/Clairon/Clairon004-1.jpg
You can paste the links to your browser to view the figures.
The idea was to have a custom range for myself which I do a little business with on the side. I've sold some, but haven't pushed it at all. And let me assure you, Ralphus, I didn't come here to pedal figures. You have a great blog which features the era I'm interested in.
brilliant. I think they deserve their own posting...do you have a contact/webpage as I am sure people will want to get their hands on these...do you have plans for any more?
I reckon this would be an ideal pose for a wargames figure for this period.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Ralphus. No web page, but I can be reached by e-mail at "cpl_trim@yahoo.com". Feel free to post any pictures if you like.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, no plans to commission additional sculpts.
