(COMMERCIAL) Minden Minaitures? Experience with ordering

[NurgleHH]

Hello,

can someone tell me something about the new Owner? Or is here in Europe a distributor? I tried the websde, but there are no product-picture.

Greetings

The "new" owner is Jim Purky, who also owns Fife and Drum, and is a great guy to deal with.  Have you tried this website http://mindenminiatures.blogspot.com/  Pictures of some of the figures can be found under "pages" on the right hand side.

I think maybe Crann Tara Miniatures distributes Fife and Drum in Europe-not sure if they distribute the Minden line.  Regardless, Jim is a great guy to deal with.  Excellent communication, sends out orders every Saturday, highly recommended

I would totally back up what Coggon is saying. Jim Purky is a top bloke and very easy to deal with.

Hi Dirk,

Here is the link to Crann Tara here in the UK.

http://www.cranntaraminiatures.co.uk/

He has some of the Minden Miniatures, the C18th civilians, labourers and carts.

My problem is, that I send him an email, never get an answer. I am very scepticl about sites without pictures of the whole range, had some very bad experience with such shops. So, I will try again to send a mail.

Thanks you, Nick. Saw it, but I need some SYW French. Hope Crann Tara will get it in the future.

Some pics of the French range here:

And some painted ones here:

You might get all the pictures of the range if you use the wayback machine on the old site: mindenminis.blogspot.co.uk. All the Minden range has the same top notch sculpting, though

Thank you, this will help

I´m really happy with my buying from Jim Purky and his excellent "Fife and Drum" miniatures.

+1 vote for Jim.

+1 re the sculpting. They are all top notch figures by the same sculptor, Richard Ansell.

Where can I find some pictures? I don't want marching poses, the text on the website are very unclear (some)

[Der Alte Fritz]

If you are looking for non- marching poses in the Minden SYW range, then alas your choice will be limited to the light troops:

Legion de Hainault (French)

Croats (Austria)

Prussian Jagers

Everything else, for now, will be in the marching pose. In the future I plan on adding some firing line poses for each country, but it may take a year or more to get these into the production queue.

We will be starting work on the AWI Hessians next month and will include Hessian Musketeers in a firing line. These could do double duty as Prussians.

Regards,

Jim Purky

This helps me, thank you. Can I recognize these in your cataloge?
