I am looking for kingdom of Holland troops in 18mm but cannot find any. So does anyone make these figures? |

What is your interpretation of "Kingdom of Holland" figures. |

I bought some of these pre-Covid lockdown. Here is my opinion of them. AN11 – Fusiliers – 2 varients. 1 small but with lots of flash, the other very tall, with bad mold slippage and was mostly unusable. AN12 – Grenadier ? in shako advancing – 1 pose, very big figure, besides a just about acceptable amount of flash it was ok. AN13 – Grenadier in bearskin – 3 poses – very big figures, 1 base too small to stand the figure up on, and mold problem with around the arm holding the musket. AN14 – Command – was out of stock so cannot comment. Based on the above, I scrapped my intention of getting 3-4 battalions. I also bought packs of their Baden and Swedish ranges. Mold slippage is a major problem throughout. I guess that I will have to wait and hope that Tony Barton takes an interest in these nations before adding them to my collection. |

I think they are something that Tony is closely considering ;) |

Anything that Tony does regarding Napoleonics will be welcomed. I would love him to do the armies of Baden, Berg, Hesse, Naples, Westphalia, and Sweden. |

Ah, Iforgot about stonewall but having the same experience as redcurrant I will pass. Hopefully AB (or another firm) will come to the rescue. |

Dave Jackson, the Kingdom of Holland existed from 1806 to 1810. So Dutch from 1815 will not do. |

I believe that Stonewall cannot legally sell Capitan figures from a judgement in court. |

The prior owner won a judgement, but I'm no lawyer…. I used to sell these figures here in the US. They have been known as Fantassin, Warmodlleing and Capitan. When they were made in Spain the casting was very good, and molds replaced in a timely manner. Really nice sculpts, too bad about Stonewall's quality. |
