Ca ira! Ca ira! Ca ira!

Enough ACW for a bit. My latest Prince August moulds arrived and have been tested.

LtoR Meisterzinn in later bicorne, Zinnbrigade w 1792 bicorne from PA Prussian NCO mould, said PA mould being converted to artillery officer, PA gunner with same early bicorne.

(Juryrigged with plasticene to give me an idea what they might look like.)


It wasn't the best of conditions, hot and humid so that sweat was literally dripping off my forehead into the mould and occasionally the melting pot.
However, I managed to get enough bits to mock up some conversions and confirm that I'll be able to make some 1793 units that will look ok beside Meisterzinn.

Oh and the Dragoons look Great! Bicornes coming for them as well!

    1. Not as well as they appear (shh). It is handy if one is interested in doing the work. Buying and working hard in plastic is probably cheaper and conversions easier.
