Scruby 25mm Napoleonics

My thanks to Bill in the US, who has responded to my earlier posts here on Scruby figures. In response to comments on the scarcity of the figures themselves in the UK and pictures of them in general on the web, Bill has sent a large number of pictures of 15mm (N Gauge), 25mm, 30mm, 40mm and 45mm ranges.

I have put the 25mm ones - all Napoleonics - into a slideshow below. At a later date I may make individual posts for the figures featured; but at least the slideshow will give an impression of these figures.

Bill's pictures of the other ranges may appear in due course over on Vintage Wargaming

Brunswick infantry: manufacturer to be confirmed

I'm not 100% sure of the maker of these figures so any confirmation would be welcome. The drummers and one of the officers are S Range, the other officer is Hinton Hunt - it is the rank and file who are a bit more mysterious. I also have some Brunswick Hussars (which I couldn't locate just now) which I remember as possibly being from the same manufacturer.

I have made other Brunswick figure posts today on the Lone S Ranger and the Hinton Hunter blogs.

Brunswick infantry: Kirk Miniatures

For comparison purposes, the Kirk Brunswick infantry figures, which have been previously posted. One of the best Kirk offerings, and a very acceptable figure.

Brunswick infantry: Douglas Miniatures

A half battalion or so of Douglas Miniatures NP6, Brunswick infantryman, led in the first picture by a Hinton Hunt officer. As they wear the Polrock (long coat) these figures are really for use before the Waterloo campaign.

Ros 25mm Napoleonics

Prompted by Tony's post on his Prometheus in Aspic blog, I have dug out my few examples of Ros 25mm Napoleonics. They looked exciting when they came out, as they were very cheap, metal, and offered normal-but-exotic things like British infantry in Stovepipes. I dithered and never bought any, but have acquired a few since.

The pictures show Prussians, a small unit of Austrian infantry, and some French foot artillery (thanks to Iain for this last picture).

Almark/Charles Stadden Fallschirmjager

Further to a previous post, her are some pictures of more of the German paratrooper figures in this range.

Der Kriegspieler 181 Hesse-Darmstadt Infantry: painted unit

Here are the Hesse Darmstadt infantry completed from a previous post, with original and David Clayton Hinton Hunt command figures. The flag is the home brewed one from Tony's Prometheus in Aspic blog, which came along just when I needed it.
