brianthemodeller Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Hi all, I have just completed my first figure (a Miniart Roman Legionary) and have got the bug! However, I am struggling to find suppliers of 120mm figures from the periods of history that interest me most - the Wars of the Roses and the Napoleonic war. I would also be interested in some non- military figures if they existed. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyO Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Hi Brian Whilst not plentiful there are a few oldies to keep an eye open for in 120mm including some by Pilipili (I've got a Geisha and Mountain Man. Both are nicely cast in resin) You can try Historex Agents, El Greco and SK Miniatures (Steve Kirtley) All have 120mm listed Bonaparts Military figures also do some 120mm figures included a couple of mounted Napoleonic's. That lot should keep you busy for a while Have fun Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 https://www.bonapartesmilitarymodels.co.uk/full-figures-120mm-plus-23-c.asp How badly do you want to stick to one scale? How much do you want to spend? MiniArt or ICM figures new, or Airfix 1/12 figures from eBay will give plenty of enjoyable options in plastic, at not too much money… best, M.

brianthemodeller Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Thank you both for the speedy replies. I am not too worried about maintaining scale but found that 120mm were a good size for painting and display. I had looked at 54mm which whilst offering a much broader range were just a bit small for my painting ability! I’ll have a look at the companies you suggest and also some of the old Airfix 1/12 figures which I had forgotten all about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Verlinden produced many 120 mm resin figures from a variety of time periods, I've built their ww2 British infantryman and their Napoleon figure. Both had slight problems but were fun projects. Long out of production but still available on the used market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_C Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 If I may butt in for a moment, As Ted said Verlinden figures are widely available: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=verlinden+120mm&_sacat=0 But do be aware that proportions sometimes seem a little off. I have a Carabinier trooper, and his hands seem enormous and legs rather short. But that could just be me, and at £45 or so they're much cheaper than most alternatives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
