Saxon Line Musketeers: Painting Notes

The painting notes have turned out to be more substantial than I had anticipated so they will retail at £2.50. I have also been waiting for supplies of Peter Bunde’s Brigade plates on the Saxons. I have now received these and I would like, once again, to recommend them to you. They are the perfect supplement to my notes and will provide you with the pictures which are presently missing from the notes. Each of the four plates on the musketeers/grenadiers deals with a specific regiment but Peter has intelligently organised them so that the four facing colours are covered and information is given about the 'twin' regiment with the same facing colour. If you do decide to order a plate let me know which regiment you are interested in and I will send you the relevant one. The plates retail at £5.50 or £7.50 bundled with the Calpe notes.

Saxon Line Musketeers: March-Attack

The new Saxon figures have a 'runner' from the tip of the sabre to the back of the leg to ensure that the sabre casts properly. This just ensures a good supply of metal to this part of the figure. It needs to be cut off and filed prior to painting the figure. The best tool for the job is a 'side cutter' which is available from most good model shops. It gives a straight cut leaving very little trace of the 'runner' thereby minimising the amount of filing required. If you have difficulty obtaining one let me know and I will get in some stock of these.
