I know a few years ago there was a US hobby store that carried Elite Miniatures. They attended Historicon a few times. It wasn't Triangle Miniatures. Anyone know who or if they're still stocking Elite? Thanks |

Their listing here shows no US dealer, only a dealer in Australia. |

I have a lot of unpainted Napoleonic figures by Elite that I'm never going to paint and would love to sell. If anyone is interested, let me know. |

@ Rdfraf Which armies, and where are you? I collect Elite early French and Austrians. |

@4th Cuirassier -- how do the Elite figs match up with Perry, Eureka, Brigade, etc.? A few sources say Elite figs are smaller, almost Foundry size. Thanks |

I think Elite are a little taller than Foundry, but they are a bit thinner. |

I only have a couple of Perry artillery riders and the Eureka early chasseurs a cheval, so I can't really help as I'd be comparing foot figures to mounted. I would say though that the Elite are marginally taller than the Eureka and similar to the Perry though skinnier. They are exactly the same height as the Hinchliffe 30mm artillery crews that you can still get. |
