Preview! Washington Grenadier 1776 Bust

[billyturnip]

Richie, if I had one of these I wouldn't flatten it, complain it didn't have legs..... nor convert to summat from the Zulu War.... I'd paint it.

Thanks guys for your kind words!
I'm sure Frank will be very encouraged by the overall response!

That's a real beauty and regarding the lack of legs issue that rears it's head every time a new release of a bust is announced I think I might start announcing they're not flat enough either.

Roger.

I have to agree Roger, they are just too round...! Lol

Hey Carl - As always AWESOME!!! Another one one put on the want list - only problem with these previews is we never know when they will be released!!! Almost like they are "old" before they are "new" if you know what I mean!! Dave

 

[Frank]

Good mornings friends,

thanky you very much to Carl for his perfect work.

@ Waterloo: The 77th Bushy run will be aviabel in April. I hope to Moutrouge/Paris, but safe is the show Duke of Bavarian.
The New Bust will aviabel in May latest in June.

Both Figure are in Resin, with some Metalparts

I will present both to World Expo Show in Stresa.

And for the Euromilitäre Show iI will have a new maybe two, we will see.

Thanks a lot once again for all this great comments on planet and facebook. I wish all a great weekend

Kind regards

Frank

You're kind of dammed if you do, and dammed if you don't, where preview/ launches are concerned.
If leave it until release, and loads are launched in short space of time, folks complain there is too much being launched. So I guess this way at least its spread out and folks can choose in a more leisurely way. They don't feel like they are being bombarded with new product.

I hope I don't derail this superb piece,
I just wanted to say that we ( manufacturers) generally try to stagger the busts and piece so those that collectors Carls pieces don't get bombarded with an abundance as Carl says and we are ready to fulfill any sales, also we try not to compete against each other.
This is another great piece
The good news is that generally carls pieces that are previewed do come out sometime over the following months and usually not too far after. Not including wanting to save something for Euro
Best wishes

As said, sorry Frank and Carl, great work and not intended to go off track

Great work Carl,
Like the direction you're going with your busts;...Like the action in the last few pieces.
As far as legs go....For your style with the busts....I'm very pleased without legs.;..For my taste I wouldn't change a thing...Besides, I'm
sure it would be cost effective to add legs at 1/9 scale.
Either way,..keep up the great work and keep on doing what you love.....Best regards.....Wayne.
P.S. a little envious you EURO guys get first dibs on all the best stuff...

This is yet another great piece, Carl. I'm looking to get this one and your last SK miniatures Dragoon piece as well.
I read what Frank said about the release date there but I'm still a little unsure of when that might be.
Is it late May or possibly June?
