I'm working on a "faux-France" sedan chair racing game. I want to dress up the game with courtiers, servants, etc. I'm not terribly picky on "historical accuracy" here. Anything that looks "Three Musketeers." I've got the Blue Moon and Black Hat sets, but who else makes suitable figs?

Blue Moon had a freebee set through the Old Glory club. I'm not sure if it was generally released. Do you have that one?

Redoubt have a Three Musketeers range, everything from a coach to beggars and servants

There's The Fat Guvernor & Assistants from OLd Glory:

If you need a seated audience, there's Eurekas civilians:

Mark,

The OG Fat Governor and Assistants is a great 18th Century set. Most of my "Imagi-Nation" royalty are from that set. You can see some pictures on my blog: link . Just scroll down to some of the visit of the Reich Duke entries.

Both Foundry and Perry make civilians from the 18th century. As I recall, Musketeers are 17th, right? I think Foundry does some of those as well.

How about these:

Sounds like a fun project!

Some of the Bronze Age 'barmaids' are generic enough to pass to 18th C. ones: link

also some napoleonic ones too

The officers from the new Copplestone Louis XIV range might be worth looking at.

Not mentioned yet are Eureka's 18th C civilians, wheich are great. Each set includes an obese gouty git, and supercilious twits. Also, some low life servants.

My "OFM" portrait on my member page is the Front rank 18th C civilian, "Portly gentleman with tankard".

<<Each set includes an obese gouty git, and supercilious twits. Also, some low life servants.>>

I'd just like to point out that I didn't model for any of those.
