I have a customer looking for the following; "I need about 30 28mm British Grenadiers (AWI),they would all be marching. These are for a museum project" This is not in my wheelhouse, can anyone suggest a manufacturer from whom he can get these, he prefers metal, but will go with plastics if he has to, TIA.

IF he wants them wearing bearskins, I would recommend these (BG-AWI222) from Brigade Games: link

28mm, Perry or Foundry. If you want a heftier casting, go with Front Rank. If it is for a museum type of display try looking at Fife and Drum, they are in my opinion the most beautifully cast figures on the market today.

For a museum, I would second Fife and Drum. They have the most realistic proportions. Avoid Front Rank for such a project. Their heads are grossly oversized.

As others have said -- Fife and Drum -- an American small company with fantastic figures sculpted by the master sculptor Richard Ansell. fifeanddrum-minis.com/index.html Jim
