I'm pretty sure they are casting painted by the very talented John O'Brien (Obee).

If you go to John's gallery you can see them. Mainly Scale Link and Mountford Miniatures-

You could send him a message, although I'm sure he will see this post.

Most of Luiz's Legionnaires are Scale Link castings that I assembled and painted for him over the past 10 years.

Hi, Sorry I did not answer you before. The Soldiers are mostly Scalelink sets assembled as FFL. There are a few idividual sets from other manufacturers such as Tradition from London but these are few ans specific, such as trumpeteer and flag standard.....

Hi Luiz,
I really like those glossy Legion figures of yours and your displays.
Also appreciate you utilising our K&C ‘Desert Village’ buildings in your scenes…
Thankyou and best wishes,
Andy.

Hi Andy,
Thanks a lot for your note and sorry it took me this long to answer...
Yes, I really enjoy the Legion and all related to it. And your Desert Village series are a blessing so as to provide adequate background for the soldiers...The fact that the buildings are full structures and not just facades, gives me the chance to set them in the dioramas in many different ways and obtain very realistic images.....The buildings themselves are great as I use them in my Legion and also in my Sudan/Northern Frontier dioramas as they are a perfect fit for them all....Keep these coming as they are great buildings to have...pity I was not able to acquire some iconic sets such as the temple, but I do have a couple of corner towers so these with the straight walls, gate house watch tower and buildings make a very nice fort.....Look froward to seeing more Desert Village buildings come so as to add them to the collection....Have my eyes on a sample of recent released SP132 The Desert Village Manger by King & Country....as it can be a nice option for a sally port set to the walled fort...
Cheers
Luiz
