Victrix: New Plastic Napoleonic Bavarians Preview!


Victrix: Here are some photos of the Bavarian infantry test frames. We are waiting on the command frames but thought we would show you some of the Line infantry figures as we know a lot of you are eagerly awaiting these. The main infantry frame consists of 4 march attack poses and 2 firing line/skirmish poses. There are 8 of these frames in the set giving you 32 March attack and 16 firing line. There will be two command frames and each frame contains 1 x officer on foot, Standard bearer, Sergeant, Drummer and mounted officer/colonel.

The figures are really quick and easy to put together with most only having 4 parts. The firing figures have some multiple arm options to give you a very dynamic firing line of loading, reaching for cartridges, biting cartridge and firing. The head has to come in two pieces as we always want good facial detail which means tooling from the front view. However, the main detail of the Raupenhelm is from the side so we made the top of the helmet separate. It fits together nicely with a locating block. If you glue the head to the neck collar first and then when a bit firmer, glue the helmet top in place. These are very quick to piece together and you and get a good production line going and have the set made up in no time. We are really excited about this release and if it goes down well with you the customers we will certainly work on more of the neglected Napoleonic nations and troop types in plastic.
