Description

Musketeers during this time period wore similar clothes, just different colours, so this mould is one of the most useful in this range. These are 40mm scale semi-flat figures. You might wish to buy a few of them so you can quickly cast large armies of Musketeers. Just paint them in the uniforms of Austria, France and Prussia and you have all the rank and file soldiers you need.

Each black rubber mould can cast hundreds of times, provided you are using our metal, as it is a low temperature casting material that extends the life of the mould enormously.

A single ingot of our metal, usually about 120 grams in weight, can make about five infantry figures.

The battle of Rossbach was fought on November 5th 1757 between the Prussian army of Frederick the Great and the combined armies of France and the German Empire under Soubize.

When the allied commanders noticed the Prussians moving back from their previous positions to behind a hill they mistakenly believed thy were retreating even before the battle begun and recklessly advanced to overtake and destroy them. The Prussians realising the allies error, prepared their cavalry and artillery just out of sight of the allies over the hill crest. As the Franco-German army surged up the hill, they were suddenly met by the Prussian cavalry at full gallop and the roar of artillery fire, which threw them into disarray. Despite valiant attempts by the French cavalry to halt the now advancing Prussian infantry and rank their own troops, the battle was lost and Prussia won the day.

    Loading figure moulds for mid 18th century

    Great to have two different loading poses for battle formations, skirmishes and behind fortifications. My only criticism is that on the figure holding the musket horizontally, the musket is a bit shorter than on most other moulds (a lesser problem) and that the bayonet is very short (a bigger problem). This can of course be fixed by removing the existing bayonet and gluing on something other, either one taken from a figure from another mould or make a new bayonet from plastic, wood or other material than casting metal.

    The same opinion is also for all the soldiers Ipurchase. This is a good way to become to be patient and accurate.
