Just because you asked - and because I like the subject some ideas for the arms (see that the left hand was usually holding the scabbard of the bayonet while running - a drill-thing I suppose) and facial expressions. It`s a picture of the Schützenbatallion Lauenburg at Gravelotte. The "rifles" wore similar uniforms to the "Jäger".
This one just for the more theatrical pose and the cool facial expression:
Cheers, Martin

I might be. I've been in and out of that particular closet more times than a magicians assistant.
Closet?.....
Closet?......
Once you have bought this one mate, and having turned from the two dimensional world to join the righteous amongst us so often Roger.
That 'closet' is now and will forever now be a
'wide open leisure centre community reclothing space with revolving doors and a few tastefully displayed picture frames either side mate'.

An Ernst Zimmer painting is probably enough to tip the balence.
I fully get the facial expression thing, to me this figure has a teeth gritted determination befitting a Prussian Jager.... or Schutzen Martin.

I'm buying it Paul, Martin's painting he attached made my mind up (I was 99% there anyway).
Anyway my missus said I've got enough flats and I shouldn't buy any more.

Thanks mate, got it and shall upload with credit to you, Martin, (and apologies Ian, I should have asked that by PM instead of on your thread)
Paul
It's an interesting figure with an even more interesting thread... members going in and out of closets- anyone think how Ian could use this to sell more? What about out of graves - "Our figures are so good the dead rise to buy them?"
Paul is to blame he's given me a wicked wicked idea about Carabiniers....
Cheers
Huw who needs a sedative

Hi Ian,
My comment is directed to both this figure and animated figures in general. As a personal preference, I generally like figures whose pose is at one or the other extreme -- either relaxed (such as your 75mm French Grenadier Drummer) or very animated (such as your 75mm French Officer Chef de Bataillion). If a figure is animated, I tend to think there should be some emotion present, such as a sense of fear, panic, excitement, etc. I would expect the facial expression to reflect the animation. Your 75mm Officer of the American War of Independence is a good example of that. You can see that this man is in a heightened sense of agitation, yelling at his men (off camera, so to speak) to do something.
That said, I'm a huge fan of Moz Corry's sculpting. His work is exceptional.
Hope that insight into this one consumer's mind is at least mildly interesting.

Any updates for us on this one Ian?
Hi Steve & Rodger.
Steve Thank you for the explanation we do take into account what people say and try and get it into the sculpt as best we can. the Jager has had some extra work done on him hence the delay in the release. the arm has been moved and a little bit on the head. which we think as given him a better look.
Rodger I'm pleased to say that I have started to cast him today he was put in the mold over the weekend and today is the first day of casting. I will give you a heads up when we are ready to ship hopefully by Thursday.
Cheers
