Very good work! Beautiful figures painted at very high level.
May I ask if those figures are compatible with Redoubt and other 28mm figures?
I am thinking to round up my Jacobite figures with Crann Tara models.
Thank you
Marco

Crann TaraRoyal escossa on left, redoubt highlander on right…..

The Crann Tara figures are much more delicate and detailed that the redoubt figure which are on the large end of the scale

The front rank figures will be ok night wise but will be stockier than the cran tara

I believe they should be compatible with Der Alte Fritz's Minden Range, magnificent, same designer I believe?

Albeit the Minden Range is mostly SYW thus far, check out Der Alte's blog:

I think that CT/Minden figures are so singular in style that mixing them with any other figures does not really work.

And getting hold of Minden figs in the UK is challenging!!

Thank you all guys!! Very useful info and picture.
Unfortunately I am a bit fussy about scale.
Too bad I'll have to buy them all again (CT figures are too appealing) :-)
Cheers

Sorry gents, I stock Fife and Drum AWI, the Hanoverians, the highlanders from the British range and Saxe's cavalry from the French together with equipment and civilians
