Hi, New to the site, I am looking to buy 1/32(54mm) Mounted US Cavalry metal figures that were made by a Gentleman named Jack Updyke and were under the name of Minimen. While I have a few of the Dismounted Figures both Cavalry and Sioux, I am mainly after His Mounted Custer Line . I will include a few pictures of some of the figures.


Kind Regards.

Welcome to the forum, Silent Ranger.

Those miniatures have a lot of detail and they look spectacular when painted and completed.

Hi Mark , Thanks for the welcome!!! Yeah they are great figures just very very hard to find. I have a few in my collection . But would love to get the rest. Like trying to find unicorns mate, dam difficult. Big 1/32 (54mm) Custer buff here. The idea along time ago was to create a huge Diorama of The little Bighorn Battle. To be honest over the years I have a huge collection. But would also love to do a smaller diorama with The 7th Cavalry marching to wards the Valley. I will add a few pics of the Minimen I have and also just a small example of my collection. I have painted and converted all myself but I do not confess to be the greatest painter in the world mate, so don't be to harsh.

Kind Regards,

Shane

TED Deddens acquired the molds (and some inventory) from the estate. He offered a number of figures at the Chicagoland Show. They were very popular I think. The ones I saw were painted in gloss, though. You might want to contact him for a chat. He can be reached at the Britains toy soldier company. Good luck.

Shane.....Thank you for posting your pics. One of many things I like about this forum is the ability to read and see what others enjoy collecting. You did an excellent job constructing and painting these figures. They look great! (y)
