Hello, any one know of any photos of the Naismith 15mm
colonial range?Dulux,dervishes /Sudan and British?
Had some Napoleonic's years ago,I think they were quite small. |

There's a comparison pic with a couple of Old Glory (not Blue Moon) here: TMP link A TMP search might turn up more. Someone said they were compatible with "old" Minifigs. All I have are ECW,which,IIRC, are fairly compatible with Freicorps. Yes they are "true" 15mm,so pretty small. Some comparison pics here (Renaissance,so maybe not helpful,): link |

If I knew how to upload pics I would show mine.
There are the same true 15mm end. They are very nicely sculpted, clean and no "Drama" poses (overbalanced lunging).
I have some 15mm Sudanese and Egyptians. The Boers are very good. The NNH are excellent, the horses very well done. Excellent proportions. They actually look like horses, my favourite of all manufacturers.
They mix with Tin Soldier and Minifigs but are shorter. |

Deflatermouse--that's interesting,as browsing some of the threads here,I noticed people criticizing their horses. Someone replaced them with Minifig horses. I don't think I have any Naismith horse,mine are Freicorps. |

I have a bunch of painted Naismith Zulus that I like very much. I bought them over 30 years ago to use with my Mike's Models Zulus. They're definitely true 15's. Very nicely sculpted with great proportions. I plan on buying some of the NNH later this year. |

Here are a couple hasty photos of my Naismith Zulus: link |

Ragbones would they fit with Peter Pig figures? |

The Naismith I have are well sculpted and have narrow, smallish heads as befits their stature. For this reason, I suspect they would fit very well with Peter Pig colonials. |

The thing is I have many Lancashire Games Zulus nice lively little fellows that fit very well with Peter Pig British. If Naismith fit too I'd certainly buy some for additional variety because they do look good in the pic. |

Naismith make some nice Sudanese, as others have said, true 15mm, good proportions, nice sculpting. I mix my Stone Mountain, Essex, Minifigs, Peter Pig and Naismith Fuzzy-Wuzzies on the same bases. Some size and sculpting style differences but the chaotic look goes well with hordes or natives in my opinion. |

Yes, I think the Naismith would go well with Peter Pig. |
