I'm after some 15mm ECW figures
« on: 15 February 2011, 12:26:09 AM »
As it says in the title, I'm looking for 15mm ECW figures. Good quality also as I'm going to make a full strength regiment for my regimental guard tent when we put on displays to help the public get an idea of what an ECW regiment actually looked like.

We've only got about 16 pike and at most 20 musket so it gives a false idea as to the numbers involved in the conflict (for the major battles anyway).

cheers

James,

I've always been partial to Essex Miniatures. A mate of mine has some of their ECW figures and I quite like them: http://www.essexminiatures.co.uk/frames15ren.html

That said, I've read some really good things about the Matchlock Miniatures range produced by Minifigs UK/Caviler. From what I recall, at the time, they were some of the most accurate and ectensive ranges of ECW miniatures on the market . They're also available individually. I've some of the character pieces and I quite like them.

Hope this helps,

Barry

Sorry, that should have read - I've always been partial to Essex Miniatures.

Do you want them ready painted or are you looking for "raw" figures?  If you want ready painted, I can help you out with a fairly large collection of figures that is available.  You'd have to pay postage and make payment in US dollars and I'd have to work with the individual currently refurbishing them to get you images, might take a few days.  Let me know more of what you have and mind and we'll see if we can work something out.  And, yes, these are all in 15 mm but, no, they are not all painted to the same style but judicious mixing and matching and then basing to a common style (if not already done) can resolve that issue.

I know you specifically stated 15mm, but have you thought about using Baccus 6mm?  You could easily get a one to one unit, or two?  Most people aren't going to look at each figure and the look of such a big unit will be great.  Just a thought.

Thanks for the idea but it's for a regimental display peice and 15s are the best option  :)
