10 free kits from Elite Miniaturas

[Calvin]

That is, as you hear it. Manuel decided to run a little puzzle about his incoming release (a sculpt by Stefano Cannone), making available for free 10 kits of the new release to the fellows who will guess about it.

To know about the first clue, go to the Elite Miniaturas home page, click of the left "Noticias - News" icon and click on the "Stefano Cannone - proxima figura" icon, you will see it. More clues soon.

This is the translation of the explaining text you will find on the Elite's web site:

"Finally, after so many time, Stefano (Cannone) has resumed the sculpting work on our next release.
As a thanks to all our customers, we have decided to gift with a free kit the first ten fellows who will guess the (historical) period, army and rank of this incoming release sculpted by Stefano. The answer must be send by email ([email protected]).
We will keep you informed about the contest, publishing the list of the winners just before the official release of the new figure. The winners will be the first in receiving the new kit.
Please, be kind and do not bother Stefano asking for the subject...
Click of the below picture to see the first clue, more will follow soon..."

Enjoy the puzzle-contest

Hello again guys, Manuel has just posted the third clue about the figure. You can see it following the link from the News section of the Elite Miniaturas web site.

To give you a little hint, you must be aware that the figure does not carry any weapon. So the question is what kind of soldier instead of carring a rifle carries a very big, but big (not breath...) 'noiser thing'...?

 

[megroot]

I go for an trumpeteer, from the dragoons or carabiniers.
I gues..

Marc

 

[ckleisch]

Looks like Napoleonic period and uniform set up of the Russian imperial guards

 

[Calvin]

Ok, you guessed the speciality, but not the instrument, a trumpet is not so big, and it is by breath, not by bum-bum...

 

[megroot]

Luca,

The biggest instrument by breath is the Tuba.
So that must be the instrument. The specialty i already guessed.

[Calvin]

Sorry, I wrote it wrong, NOT by breath, a bum-bum one...

 

[megroot]

Well,

It must be a drummer. And iff bigger a bassdrum

I placed two guesses perhaps i will get lucky. Either, way if it is a drummer figure I know I will go for a purchase of the figure.
