On the Tenth Legion workbench

This week, I’d like to share a behind-the-scenes photo with you of our mould maker's workbench.   This is usually a litter of various bits and pieces, but this time Andrew has excelled himself in both the diversity and the number of projects on the go.

Each of these groups of strips and pile of bits represents a mould waiting to be pressed.  It gives a nice snapshot of what will be coming down the road over the coming few weeks and months.  If you’ve actually been keeping up with our progress you may remember that we’re in the middle of a massive overhaul of the Napoleonic infantry codes.   That process is actually nearing completion and the sharp-eyed among you may be able to spot piles of limbers and some rather nice British rocket carts.  These are all brand new models.  

The massed strips that you see filling the bench includes Achaemenid Persian infantry, Republican Romans, various Ancient Greek infantry types and, just to keep our hand in, Napoleonic artillery crew.  In all these cases we have used the original MM master figures to give us lovely sharp castings from the new moulds.   The next few months are going to be very busy for us.

Just to show you what I mean here are a couple of photos of the new Napoleonic Austrian artillery models released a couple of weeks ago.   The crew are the original models, remoulded and cleaned up, while the guns are brand new models, and if I say so myself, they really do scrub up nicely.
