    Napoleon and his staff

    You can also see if you can find any Marshals / Generals that were made by Hachette in their series of 185 figures !! They do come up for sale on Ebay occasionally, mainly by European sellers, but well worth getting. The initial set of 25 ? were made by King and Country but then they used other...

    Post Artillery Sets (Any Manufacturer)

    YES, great to see them, different nations and guns, exchanging fire over the battlefields. BUT ..... I am quite disanointed by the poses that are being produced by most makers. Most of these depict a gun being loaded, and to give credit, some do have the breech open, so that's appropriate...

    Stadden Figures

    Stadden figures have a tinplate base, these seem to be cast. ROSE Miniatures did make a mounted German Hussar from this period, so they could be the basic figures and horse, with the arms and instruments added as a conversion. This is my Garde Hussar Kettle Drummer by Tradition of London...

    Did any British Manufacturer make a Black Watch Marching Band?

    Did any British Manufacturer make a Black Watch Marching Band?

    About 20 years ago I painted a set of castings made by Dorset Soldiers of the band of the Black Watch after their return from Iraq in 2003. The collector wanted that band in camouflage uniform which was what they wore on their return parade. I know that this is a pipe band but thought you'...
