I'm looking for, at least, 5 figures of well-dressed gentlemen (one in vest and shirt) and one elderly lady, all in 15mm, that are suitable for the years 1899-1900:

Any suggestions?

War In 15MM13 Sep 2011 8:20 a.m. PST

One option is to wait and see what is in the Blue Moon Victorian 15-18mm line when it comes out; don't know when that will be. I used Preiser HO figures from their Victorian line. I'm not sure they will have exactly the figure you want but they have a wide selection. Generally I don't fine size/scale an issue using Preiser. You can see mine in my Wildwest Gallery in pictures 5 and 12 (the 2 figures in front of the saloon, the female figure in blue in front of the Physican's office, and the female figure in pink in the buckboard are all Preiser. The male figure in the buckboard is probably Preiser as well. In that gallery they are being used with Pig Pig figures. In my Sudan Gallery I also used the victorian figures but unfortunately I don't have any close shots of they (they are on the walls in pictures 12 and 16), but you can see how Preiser work with Essex figures by looking at two of the Arab women in my market scene in pics 7, 8, and 10. The woman in pick and black and the one in dark blue and green are both Preiser and they are mixed with mainly Essex 15s in those pictures. You can see these galleries at warin15mm.com/index.html

Dan,

There are suitable figures in Old Glory 15s East and West generals packs that you can special order separately if you ask nicely and pay the premium price (issues with molds having other figures in them). There are well dressed gentlemen and women in those packs. Or, wait for the Blue Moon figures as Richard suggested.

I've got quite a few from Irregular. They may have been from the 19th American West, but there were a few I used for British Civilians trapped in my Sudan city needing liberation.

…like von Hessian says and yes, I use them for the same purposes.

Beefheart,
It's "Hessen" not "Hessian"…BTW, what ever happened to your "Magic Band"?

Caribe,
I also used some Minifigs and Peter Pig Wild West civilians
Pig has a pretty good selectipn of unarmed townspeople.

Caribe,

Check out Blue Moon's Townsfolk in their Western figure line. Looks like a few gentlemen types as well as some females which may fit your bill

Irregular Miniatures gentlemans have 4 variants. Middle Figure is Sir Harry from Tusk. Good figure, but a bit cartoony. Like him a lot.
