Der Kriegspieler 187 Baden Infantry

I was slightly surprised by these being in shako rather than kasket, and the single breasted tunic is unlike any Baden uniform reference I have seen. I painted them as a generic German State infantry unit on campaign.

Mystery Royal Horse Guards

These fellows recently appeared on Tony's Prometheus in Aspic blog and now I'm glad to say they reside with me. Not sure what I will do with them - they may see service as ADCs. I have another version of this figure, painted white as a cuirassier. So far the general opinion seems to be these may be home made pieces.

Alberken/Minifigs 20mm Swiss Battalion

Refurbishment of a fairly recent e-bay purchase, FN8 advancing fusiliers painted as Swiss, with the addition of officer and eagle bearer from the spares box.

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.
