I have some Hinton Hunt figures in a similar pose.

Hi Obee,

They are made by a company called VID Miniatures they do a massive range of various Napoleonic castings and painted figures. Someone told me the molds were made by a company called Miniweld? Originally. They are probably nearer 60mm scale and come from Eastern Europe. The only place I have found them is on ebay from a seller called Hetman-UA. I do believe you can buy painted ones from the famous shop in Paris that escapes my memory at the time of writing. They are lovely castings with minimal prep work required.

They do look nicely painted. However, I am not sure what they are doing in that pose. I wonder if they are from a small diorama set.

Gary,

thanks for that information, I hadn't recognised them as VID, of which I have a few figures.

The last lot I bought from direct Vladimir in Ukraine, ( you can send him a personal message from this Forum) , and they were French Infantry at Austerlitz seen here:

I'm looking forward to see your figures completed soon,

Hi Scott,

They are a small vignette the officer has been shot and is holding the regimental colours which the second figure is taking hold of as he falls, that side of things is still to be completed.

cheers

Love the painting of these figures. I plan to get a load more once I have moved house.
