Brigade Models 28mm Belgians

[Gluteus Maximus]

No, NOT the American company "Brigade Games" which is well known for it's 28mm stuff!

These are from a company I'd only ever associated with Full Thrust, Aeronef and 6mm Sci-Fi models



They do a nice-looking range of WW1 Belgians, which to me at least look ideal for VSF "Ruritanian" style troops, with only a little work on the rifles to "back-engineer" them. The cavalry are also very useful, with Lancers in Czapkas etc 

Not bad price at £6.00 for a pack of 6 or £1.50 for single models.

I'm definitely tempted, but have no idea on their height. Has anyone got any and if so, do you have a comparison pic with Foundry/Copplestone etc?

Cheers

I do not have any but have been tempted myself. I have seen them in the flesh so to speak at shows at they did not strike me as being too small. I think they would be a decent match up.

My brother-in-law has a bunch of 'em.

They mix very well with Great War Miniatures, both height and heft-wise. Very nice figs - and they do Belgian cavalry!!!

(No picture, unfortunately. Summat wrong with the camera.)

EDIT - go and do the clicky thing here:

Ah, thanks. Of course, I should have looked at the WWI board before posting 

In my (admittedly West Bromwich Albion standard) defence, I don't do WWI, so don't tend to visit there.

They do look to be compatible with the major 28mm Victorian ranges, so that's very good news

At least that donkey Robinson has gone at last.

Yes, the Prima Donna 

I just hope Signor Di Matteo has what it takes

Those are very nice figs. I can see the potential too!

You can see them in my VSF project 'The Forces of Free Norway', as the Belgian uniform was as close as I could find to the Norwegian uniforms used in 1900, and I did a comparison shot for someone not too long ago...

Here they are grouped in my full forces photo - 2nd picture in the post.

And the comp pic is on the second page of this thread.

Hope that proves to be of assistance - if you need more, I can try and shoot some more photos.

Thanks!

I had seen and marvelled those lovely pics of your Norwegians, but having a brain like a sieve, I'd forgotten they were Brigade Models 

They look even better with a good paint job, so I'll certainly get some in the future
