27mm 1806 Prussian Infantry Figures

Review by Russ Lockwood

Robert Hagerty has released seven 1806 Prussian figures in 27mm scale:
PN1: Officer with Sword
PN2: Flagbearer
PN3: Musketeer Drummer
PN4: Musketeer Advancing
PN5: Grenadier NCO
PN6: Grenadier Drummer
PN7: Grenadier

All came well done, and measuring from the bottom of the feet to the eyes finds scale size to be 28-29mm, depending on the figure. There's minimal flash on the figures, though the base bottoms need a bit of filing to become flat, and the figures are nicely animated.

Advancing figures include a number of pouches, scaks, boxes, and other acoutrements hanging off belts. The Grenadiers all have moustaches, the others are clean shaven, and all have long hair wrapped into a ponytail in back. The Officers wave short swords over their heads. The flagbearer comes without a flag.

If there's a nit to pick, it's that the Grenadier Drummer seems to be missing his drum with his left drumstick--it's protruding over the rim into the air. The Musketeer Drummer's got the right beat, if close to the rim.

These are fine additions to the Demi-Brigades line (1794-1806), and he has French and Austrian figures also available.

Pricing is $1.25 each, with $4 for postage (UK and European orders add 30% for postage).

Order direct from Robert Hagarty at: 229 N 2nd St. Apt. C
Elkhart, IN 46516 USA
