| 20mm and 25mm Napoleonics were among the first ranges I intended to release when I acquired Garrison. Because of this I started painting figures for the online catalogue - though not all of them were completed. |

| They included Austrians, |
 |
| Prussians, |
 |
| and French. |

| I've also found more artillerymen. On the left, I'll have to paint him up for the British foot artillery gun - though I've decided to outfit two guns, crews started but need another gun. Next, RHA officer with a miscast sword then a French foot artilleryman. Looking at the codes, G&B must have produced designs for 8 British and 8 French crew - the Frenchman's code is FNA8. Sadly,I'm missing 3 British and 7 French figures from this range... |
All handsome figures!

The figures do the job - the pose is, in my view, the best pose for most, though prefer firing poses for British!
DeleteI quite like the advancing pose for that more vintage appearance. When you say missing French artillerymen does that mean not found yet or searched the lot and they're not there?
ReplyDeleteProbably not there. Most of the figures I've found are on 2 moulds with a few others spread out. Thing is, Napoleonic ranges kept changing and updating. I can't find artillerymen in any catalogue, so not issued, and unlike the Ancients figures I don't have a lot of my own figures (or a Harry) from the era to fill out the ranges and produce moulds from.
DeleteWonderful! Are the chaps in the top photo from the 20mm or the later 25mm range, and is there all that much to choose between them? I have a few lovely 20mm French from the 1972 catalogue and they're an almost perfect fit for the Hinton Hunts and Lammings I've been painting.
ReplyDeleteThese are 20mm - although I have 2 versions of one, 1972 and 1975 versions. The 1975 is a bit stockier, slightly fuller face but still basically the 20mm figure! One of the moulds has 20mm marching figures and slightly larger (but obviously 25mm) command figures - so there was obviously a period when both were being produced at the same time!
