Gone for good? Anyone check to see if the Wayback Machine has the old pages archived?

Thanks, Jeff

I have never understood if that is a defunct business, or if they are still in business.

Hi

this post seems to indicate that they are still 'casting'…

wrong entity? OP wrote "Histofigs" not "HistoriFigs" The former was a French website with uniform and other info oon among other things, the Napoleonic armies, their content, uniforms etc. That site, eventually stopped and the info went from "free" to being available for sale by a German company [uniform plates sold by Peter Bunde].

That's my take, anyway.

Not sure if the Way Back has a copy of the website.

Alright, try this one:
histofig.com

The site appears to have been inactive since Feb 2015:

It is Historifigs. historifigs.com/oldsite I presume since Table Top Talk blog was posted you meant the site that has much of the old Scruby miniatures right?

I've checked the Wayback Machine.

this might require the TARDIS?

Not having acces to HISTOFIGS (the French site) is a major set back for Napoleonic wargamers. You could find details for every uniform, which would cost you a fortune to procure otherwise.

To clarify, what folk are lamenting is the demise of the site that produced images in this style (it was murder to navigate as I recall)

Some of the better Wayback Machine saves were back in 2009 or before:

You can access many of the Uniform plates from there.

At one point I saved about 148 plates like the one above plus another 64 Austrian single regiment pics. I'm not sure if that was all of them.

That is brilliant. I thought these were all lost
