I'm going to date myself with this but so it goes. Almond miniatures released an officer of the 95th in 90mm soon after Richard's passing. Does anyone know where a copy may be obtained? I have an amigo who is putting together a diorama using the Almond enlisted men, the Pegaso NCO, and the new Bonapartes rifleman (which by the way is CRAP according to him due to poor casting), and would love to include the officer if one can be found. Reasonable expense due to the rarity of the figure is expected. I thought that if anyone can come up with this piece it would be the Planeteers, so here I am. An alternative would be any other 90mm rifles officer in an action pose but I know what is out there pretty well and do not know of one. Help? Thanks!

Hi Steve,
I know the man who made the master, John Tassle,I'm not sure if he had any castings of this laying around,I'll ask...
But failing that Bonapart miniatures,talk to Dave he may have one!
Best Regards
Paul.

Say, just for curiosities sake what ever happened to the masters to the Almond line? Does anyone know who has them now?

Thank you so much Paul.

bonaparte's 95th rifleman

I would just like to say a few words on this matter. you say your friend Say's the kit is crap due to the casting. why did he start it in the first place without contacting Dave freeman first? I have had all the new releases from Dave and they have all been fine. When he released the old post militaire figures I again bought some of these and I did find some of the castings not to be up to scratch, a phone call was all it took to get the replacements. I get really annoyed when people have a go at traders when all they are doing is trying to give us the public something different the onus is on your friend to check the piece first and if something is wrong tell the company who he bought it of, who will more often than not gladly change the part or parts that are faulty It may interest you to know that Bonaparte's do have quite a few of the Almond figures in question whether Dave sell's them to anyone mail order from know on is another matter.

Mike.

I exchanged a full set of Almond riflemen (officer, sergeant and rifleman) for some other figures with Dave Freeman of Bonapartes before Xmas. With luck they will still be available.

Good luck
