Those are very nice indeed. A bit different to the Mike's Models figures I used for Delis 25 years ago :-)

Lovely paint.
Wargaming since the dark ages...

gosh, 'mikes models' ... blimey.

sure my brother did some of his gendarmes - remember them being pretty good!

but, yes, SD's Ottomans are his usual 'they can't be 18mm?!' jobs.

Tons of character. I did an Ottoman army with Mikes Models and they were actually nice figures. Huge turbans and by tat stage they were using Essex horses I think, which were actually quite nice.

Indeed. Lovely painting, and for 15mm, lovely figures.

You and me both with the Mike’s Models Ottomans.
I remember getting the train down to Brighton and visiting his (short-lived) shop to buy a load of his new Ottoman Turks to supplement my 15mm Minifigs Turks. The figures seemed incredibly detailed at the time by comparison. Although they were proper chunky little munchkins if I think about them now. Cute though  lol
But at the time, they were as revelatory in 15mm as Essex Miniatures were in 25mm - showing that wargames figures could ooze character and detail. Well, caricature perhaps... :)

I sold them on about 30 years ago :)

that's right - the shop in Brighton*! There's where my brother got them - 'it's all coming back to me now ...'  ;D

they were certainly a revelation after Peter Laing figures - lovely tho' those were in their own way.

I was living in Oz at the time, and had started playing Tercio with a Polish mate, I travelled back to the UK for my sister's wedding, visited an old friend who had just started playing DBM at the Perth club, and ordered Essex Carthaginians and Ottomans, had them sent to my parents, and took them back with me to Oz.

My first ancient/medieval armies since some Minifigs Greeks circa 1978?

For figures that have been around for 30+ years, those sculpts (Ochmann?) Really stand up well. There's one pose that needs more neck, but otherwise they're great, and the painting is superb.
