2cm Metal ACW miniatures? (1 Viewer)

[wbburton]

I have a small quandary. While browsing a Civil War-themed antique shop yesterday, I saw a beautifully-made diorama depicting a trench assault during the Siege of Petersburg. When asking the proprietor where I could obtain the figurines, he just opened a large plastic case filled with them (IE, not packaged and without brand-names, etc.)

They are approximately 2cm and metal, and done in great detail in a massive variety of poses and actions. Research on the internet for the same type or figurine has led me to nothing, and browsing diorama sites leads me to believe it isn't a common scale.

Can anyone tell me what manufacturer these may be? Or where I can obtain more? He sold them at $1 per figure; I'd love to compare prices before I go back.

Thank you!

I doubt these were the ones in question but this UK company has some 20mm ACW figures

Well I'll be. No wonder the results all came up blank, I never thought to convert cm to mm. *headslap*

They don't seem to be exactly the same, but now that I have a scale to go on, that makes things much easier. Thank you!

Glad to be of help

I figured that is why you weren't receiving much information but wasn't too sure. Good luck in your search.

As Scott has pointed out 2cm = 20mm, or ho/oo scale.

There are several companies that manufacture 20mm ACW figures; Kennington Miniatures, Newline Designs, Qualitycast, Musket Miniatures, Irregular Miniatures just to name a few.

There are some smaller companies that produce them as well.

Were these being offered painted or unpainted at 1.00 per figure; let me know.

They run anywhere from .25 cents each to .50 cents each for the most part........
