And so the first batch of nine of His Majesty's Sailors is ready. Photo of these will be posted soon in a forum near you

Are they the Regiment Games figures? Just a guess.

Poly, I remember Peder showing them off in the latest miniatures received thread. They are really nice figures and designed by Mr Richard Ansell. So I'm guessing thats them 8)
Best wishes,

Yes, I have them too. I bought them with a mind to use in a Great War setting (as they are wearing what appears to be '08 Pattern webbing), minus the Bren and Tommy gun-wielding fellows, of course.

They are Regimental mini and I bought the lot. I painted the khaki drill with I think is right. (Bloody Mollo for not spelling it out).

I redid my conversion attempts of the Brens to Lewises, just because I want to use the sailors for a wider window, and I am happyish with the result. They are next in line. I did the riflemen first since they are least inspiring (yes, there are ways to trick yourself). They are armed with SMLE Mark III, aren't they, Plynkes?

Don't ask me, I ain't any kind of a gun nut!  :lol:

They're Lee-Enfields as far as I'm concerned, and that's as much as I need to know.


I'm quite pleased with the officers, as good early 20th Century types of that sort are a bit thin on the ground. They may well find themselves serving in more than one Navy.

Can't say I am a gun nut either . Not that I care much but if they are Rifle No 4 rather than Mark III they wouldn't be as suitable for pre-WWII gaming. They are very similar but look a bit different arround the muzzle.
