I don't think so according to my conversation with his daughter at the show. Everything is hand made and painted to order. The reins etc are separate and soldered in position. A true labour of love.

I posted a contacts question for you in the GMN thread you started Jeff.

I just noticed that you posted in the more Gloss Manufactuer section. I thought these were mat figures?

Hi,

You might interest in the Delprado's mounted/drummer mameluke. I bought one, it is matte.
You can buy it here: http://www.bgstoysoldiers.com/servlet/the-1957/Del-Prado-Drummer-Mamelukes/Detail

Happy holiday

This is actually a very nice one, I agree. I have it too and while some of Del Prado productions are not great quality wise IMHO, this one is excellent. It's mounted though...

Bill, they can be supplied as either matt or gloss. But I always remember them as gloss figures.

Trying to find his contact details for you.

I know there not metal and only plastic but the Italeri figures are sculpted very well and paint up real nice. They also have a lot of conversion possibilities and could also be converted to standing figures and based on metal to give them a bit more bottom weight to them. If washed and primed right the paint should stick well and not flake off. You should look into a set! $23 bucks will get you 8 mounted figures.

I wish to thank everyone for taking the time to make suggestions and offer advice. You have all given me food for thought. I truly appreciate your responses.

Hey Randy I know you like uniform plates so here are a few Mameluke uniform plates for you.

 

[Grognard]

I recognize Pierre Conrad's plates. These are my favorites. I bought a few when in France and got them framed. You can see some of them on my album:

A very special thank you to our fellow forum member Maple Leaf for his wonderful gift of the K&C figure of Roustan (Roustam) Raza, Napoleon's Mameluke bodyguard that he brought back from Egypt. I would love to see K&C do a Napoleon in Egypt series


1911 article from NYT on Napoleon's bodyguard:

Mignot makes a Roustam on foot. Check out Le Petit Soldat.......great mail service.
Vertunni is also another option, but may be quite pricey.

The old Rose Roustam figure is still available I believe from John Eden.

The Paris firm MDM made a foot Mamelouk also.

Check out Starlux. Although they are plastic, they are well done and have quite a few foot figures.

Hope this helps.
