Hopefully some on here could help out a bit. I recently acquired some 20mm Stone Mountain Miniatures ACW figures, arty, cav, support, etc. I see now they only list 15mm figures. When did these go out of production? Why? (I am going to guess lack of sales, but that is not always the case!) Does anyone have a list or an online link to a list of the various sets? (preferably with pictures) Thank you, in advance! |

I believe they have never produced 20mm ACW. They have always been 15s |

Stone Mountain Miniatures used to make 20mm figures and I think the company split and now Stone Mountain makes 15s and the old 20mm range is made by someone else. Sorry I don't have more details. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

Thanks Mike! They are quite nice figures, if a bit simple. They match quite well, size wise, with A Call To Arms, Atlantic and Airfix. The separate head system is pretty cool. The horses and the wagons and artillery pieces are very detailed! |

I do miss the 20mm ACW figures. The old owner was great to work with. RSM figures are also compatible. |

VCarter, thanks for the tip! I just went to their site ( dpcltdcom.org/rsm95_002.htm ) but, sadly, there are no pictures … The prices are actually quite good at being fairly comparable to plastic figures for the Cavalry and I would rather have metal than plastic. |

20mm Stone Mountain became Musket Miniatures . I think the family just sold the line and some else is producing. |

We're they originally marketed as 22mm figures compatible with 1/72 plastics? You might find some images of them for sale on eBay. |

I did find one set of images through using google and it was on Worthpoint of a collection still in the bags (but it did not include a description of what the set numbers were or their contents). Musket Miniatures has a website but a very disappointing lack of photos … Some text descriptions and photos of a few historical scenes. No stock numbers. I've got lots of cannon with different stock numbers but, honestly, they look the same (except for the siege mortars). |

Jhancock is correct. They were originally marketed as 22mm. They came with separate heads. I sold mine on eBay years ago. |

That 22mm is to the top of the head. They are 20mm to the eyes. Olde form of measurement contrasted with the new to the eyes. |

They were very easy to paint. It's a shame they are no longer around. |

Yes, we did manufacture the 22mm(compatible with Airfix) from 1981 to 1992. At that time the the two partners(myself and JIm) split the company over some business differences.
Jim took the 25mm AWI and 22mm ACW lines and formed Musket. He has since retired and the figure lines were sold to an individual who hasn't put them back into production. They were very nice, easy to paint figures, and I still have many ACW regiments in my collection. Dave

And just so you are all aware, I was in an agreement with the new MM owner to trade him 1:1 all my 15mm miniature collection for 22mm. I sent him hundreds of 15mm figures, painted, rare and even some Heritage line figures. After one year I never received any figures in return and he never returned my troops to me. He stole them outright and to be fair, I made all attempts to contact him in a variety of ways. Thus, I conclude do NOT do any business whatsoever with this guy from Musket Miniatures. He is a crook. |
