Big Dave S Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Since it's Saturday night - and I've had a couple of beers - thoughts wandered onto the subject of modelling and having a look at what's available online. The search for decent Union Army figures continues. There are numerous well rendered Confederate subjects, but Billy Yank seems to be an afterthought. Except for Romeo's superb (expensive) mounted cavalryman, there is jack-all as far as I can see. Happy to be corrected on that, if anyone knows better........?

thorfinn Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Have you mayhaps seen these? Not a huge variety, but they look like some nice pieces. (They've even got a Zouave.) https://www.miniaturasbeneito.com/en/american-civil-war-figures?page=1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff72 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 ICM You could always try Historex agents. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixII Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Two pints? Everards? Hope you remembered the asprin! Here ya go, didn't say what scale you wanted and if it was full figure or busts. If the latter, suggest you visit the El Greco site first, UK based, mainly? resin https://www.elgrecominiatures.co.uk/ Then you have:- https://www.traditionoflondonshop.com and https://www.dixon-minis.com/shop/54mm-75mm/ Have fun! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave S Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Thanks folks. I stalk Historex Agents like an obsessive loon. Current project was bought from them on a day when a staff member was being total jerk and annoyed me so much I needed retail therapy! I keep looking at the ICM offering and wondering. Their WW1 figs are decent... it'll probably drop thru the letterbox one day. 1/35, 54mm, 65mm are the scales I'm looking for. I appreciate everyone's suggestions and will investigate them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadman Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Lot's of great suggestions. El Greco and Historex Agents are my usual go-to for ordering figures from the UK. I've always had excellent service from both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixII Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Dave, @Big Dave S and @Cadman another you may both like to try is:- http://www.skminiatures.co.uk/ Steve's an active member of Darlington Military Modellers, and is guilty of parting me from more than a few shekels!

Big Dave S Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Thanks folks. El Greco has some nice stuff. Am going to investigate properly. ACW is a real passion. Used to be a member of SOSKAN till uni became a thing. Anyone covering that period well gets my enthusiastic vote. Especially the Union side. All suggestions here are being checked over. Thank you everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dave S Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 MiniSoldiers have a couple of interesting subjects. But they don't seem to retail in the UK... Or do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
