Wow.... Christmas is early this year.....beautiful......order in......Mike

Beautiful figure as always, guess I'm going to have to get one as well.

Thank you Mike, all received and best wishes mate

Thank you Malc , I'm always around mate casting, I appreciate you like him and many thanks as always

Yes mate, my only distributor is SK and anyone that wants to collect at Sword and Lance please contact Steve
Thank you

Superbly done.

Mike

a very fine one as usual but the sword are not the correct one for an officer of the gard : it is an hussard one in the kit instead of the chasseur gard s one
see Rousselot plates ,Leliepvre or Jouinau plates

Thank you for your comments
These are pre production pictures and I will add a knot prior to despatch. I have used several references and have seen both swords like this and with guards, please clarify what you mean as I have crossed references many sources, overall it appears both carried.
Andrea used the same style also in their superb piece
Ps I see this is your first post, did you join to fault this figure ?

Good point.

hello yes this is my first post on Planet figures but I watch this forum since several years ....
sorry Malc : I don t understand your post "good point" no offence....
as I say in the first post : the sword is perhaps not the good one Why ?
the hussard type was used in the consulat years ( picture left of rousselot) then remplaced by the sword "an XII" 1803 1804 light cavalerie of the gard as for chasseur a cheval picture right of rousselot the one of ANDREA miniatures picture
if the officer kept his old consulat sword (it s possible) he has also a sabretache 1805

when you look the Rousselot plates n° 74 about officiers et trompettes,you can see only the AN XII ones eventually the AN IX with 3 branches and iron scabbard

to finish with this, I have bought several figures of Carl Reid : they have very fine attitude and with superb details but about the weapons I m not really convinced
the same for M corry in MMmodels...(great figure maker too)
well as I said before No Offence about your firm CGS which product great figures
sincerely

No offence taken, I have the skin of a rhino.

Are we going counting rivets here also??
I was so glad that I didn't have to count the rivets on a tank, now it seems it's start all over again.
I know history should be corrected as far as possible. But if there are two ways, you have to choose one.
For me this figure is to large, I allready have the bust, and we can paint one of both swords. Artistic free.

If I didn't know any better, I would say this is an excellent looking piece. But I don't know any better, so that being said....I still love the look of this piece.

Me too Wayne

It's on my shopping list.
