PA24: 40mm Scale 18th Century Musketeer shooting kneeling mould

Long lines of musketeers would fire enmass at similar ranks of enemies in set piece battles that were staged during the 18th Century. Muskets could only fire one ball before requiring reloading so ranks of troops fired in sequences to allow one rank to reload while others are firing, making it harder for enemies to engage them in melee during long gaps in firing.

This is a rubber mould that can be reused hundreds of times. The figures can be painted in the uniforms of 1700-1760 for England, France, Sweden, Prussia and Russia.

The master figures were initially carved out of wood and still retain some features of a wood carving. Many of these were re-made when we moved over to rubber moulds which could produce more rounded figures (Karoliners).

These early flats are quite hard to cast and require more of the detail to be 'painted in' than our more modern series.

This semi-flat range was remodeled as more rounded figures. The more rounded equivalent for this figure is PAS901.
