Hello everybody.
I need some help to find out who is producing good quality British Napoleonic figures in hard plastic at 28mm.
I have some soft plastic figures but is not that easy to work with.
Also i need help to find the right colors to paint them.
Thank you very much

Victrix and Perry. Perry only does 1815 Brits (if my memory serves me correctly), Victrix does both Peninsula (stovepipe shakos) and 1815 (Belgic shako).

Hope this helps!

Perry only does 1815 Brits

I think the box comes with heads with either Stovepipe or Belgic shakos so you can do either.

Also i need help to find the right colors to paint them.

Just to confirm that the Perry's come with both Stovepipe shakoes for the Peninsula and (covered) Belgic shakoes for post 1812 and Waterloo…

I took a second look at Perry miniatures.I can not find out if the figures are one piece or if they are multipose.
Is anybody who has the answer?

They are multipose . Both set are fantastic and mix very well together, I have plenty of Victrix heads on perry bodies and use perry flank company arms on victrix bodies. I prefer perry but either one is great.

HaT industries also makes some hard plastic 28mm figures. I haven't seen them in person, but the web stie photos look promising:

My interest is 30 mm metal Napoleonics. I can obtain Stadden, Willie, Elite and Andrea. Are there others?

Alban Miniatures are actually a bit taller than 28mm, and may match style-wise as well?

Thanks for the vote Musketier.

So as not to miss an opportunity for a blatant plug why not check Alban Miniatures out for yourselves at albanminiatures.com and follow the Alban Facebook link for all of the latest news such as our previews of our Autumn/Winter ranges of French and Saxons.
