From time to time, people I game with & correspond with try to sway me to game in 15mm. I always reply that I can never find the figures I want in 15mm & they always say "It's the golden age, anything you can find in 28mm, you can now find in 15mm." I'm not quite convinced. A project that I would love to do has need for a mounted 18th century (17th century would also work) lady or two. So does anyone know of a15mm or 18mm miniature of an 18th century lady riding side saddle? |

old glory captive sets are ancients and medieval but might be a place to start link |

I too have been looking for such a figure to review my Austrians (SYW). The only one I found riding side saddle was of the medieval period. Too much work to convert. I have not search for one in the past month or two, so perhaps a figure has escaped my notice. This might be something for Lurkio UK to manufacture; upper torso separately cast with a variety of clothing options such as hunting or military coat. I will be checking back. |

I've got one – but had to scratch-build her from several figures: Peter Pig torso and head, Minifigs tricorne hat, Preiser waist and legs
and a lot of green stuff :(

I've only seen one. It was supposed to be Lady Godiva in 25. There's a company doing several in 28s right now, but I have no clue on 15s. |

The problem with the medieval & fantasy figures is the amount of work required to convert them. The dress of an 18th or 17th century noblewoman or woman of class, is quite different from that of the 12th century. I'm afraid my sculpting skills are not up to the task. |

Lluis, Nice conversion. I may have to look at the Pedro Puerco option as well. I am not sure I would use Preiser as they are expensive figures. Which Preiser set did you use? Cheers, Robert |

There is one in the AB mule train set, 18mm though. A lady with a bonnet riding a mule or a horse with servants walking and bagagge on mules. John |

Which Preiser set did you use? @Timurilank, It was from their set no. #16327: link I've been using elements from this set from time to time, just for amusement:
