20mm Rose '1897' Generals

 

In reality, Rose 'Duke of Wellington' figure. Not sure when these were originally designed, but they appear in the 1958 Rose catalogue! They make decent late fictional late Victorian senior officers of doubtful accuracy!

For some reason bridles rarely cast well on this figure - so on all of these the bridles are made of green stuff!

Although I call the early Garrison figures 29mm, in fact this is purely to distinguish them from the large 25mm figures. This comparison between a '20mm' Garrison general and the Rose version shows this quite well...

  1. A versatile figure in any size. (Why is it we wargamers tend to refer to 20mm, 25mm as scales)

    Wouldn't take much to turn his coated into a tunic for that late 19th/early 20thC formal dress/ toy soldier general look.

    1. Actually the detail is so low relief that paint alone would do the job!

    1. Rose are well known for their 54mm figures, wargames stuff less so - and from a very early time.
