ID Roman miniature figures
« on: January 27, 2022, 08:30:39 PM »
HI All;

just casting the net to see if the assembled throng could ID these Romans that have recently come my way.They are 21/22mm foot-to-eye,  making them 25mm to the top of the hat.

Suspect they are Hinton Hunt?

Or Hinchliffe?

If they are, they don’t have the usual Hinchliffe style - too skinny :-)

So early Garrison versions, then? Any market for them? They came in a job lot with some of the later ones, have 40+ of them.

They are compatible with the Airfix, HaT, Revell etc plastics. 
I still  use them unless the grandchildren are here as they prefer 28mm!

Funnily enough, I picked out a plastic Airfix figure from amongst the lot - matches in well :-)

Romans are in the Bazaar for a week, then will go over to eBay. Thanks for the help!
