What a collection of great old Staddens and others! For someone who grew up on Henry Harris, John Garratt, and Roy Dilley books, these photos are amazing! It's great to see that these kind of historical miniatures are still making people happy. Thanks a million for sharing the link.

Some lovely early figures there Victor. Some manufacturers new to me.

Along similar lines there was a thread recently on the Britmodeller Forum where a member posted his collection of Indian Mutiny figures (see post 4)-

Unfortunately he did not name the manufacturers.

Besides the vintage makes such as staddens, imrie-risleys, Historex conversions, etc, a few of the photos seems to show top modeller’s work such as the drummer71st Foot (Jason Green?), mounted Scots Greys (Shep Paine?) and Lt Crowe VC (Adrian Bay?). If so, he is one lucky collector.

Hi Scott,
very quirky and original collection. Appears to be mostly conversions. But I think the photo is reversed as the shoulder belts are all on the wrong side.

Scott Miller is a long-time collector, and a member of the Military Miniatures Society of Illinois (Shep Paine's old club). If you visit their website, you can see the video from their latest meeting, in which Scott and some of the other members look at figures from the middle of the last century, in the context of the origins of the connoisseur style. They look at figures from Mme. Desfontaine particularly, and including photos from visits she paid to the club.

Scott has also posted groups of photos on Facebook, in our MFCA group. We've had some discussions about the early figure makers, including, besides Stadden, Bill Imrie, Clyde Risley, John Scheid, Russell Gammage (Rose), and Marcel Baldet, among others.

Prost!
