Douglas Miniatures Crimeans, Napoleonics and Wodensfeld ACW ranges - availability

The arrival of the Brunswick figures featured in the previous post reminded me that I had a couple of samples of Douglas Napoleonics from John Cunningham, who holds the rights to these ranges. John is about to release the Crimean War range, and has limited stocks of part of the Napoleonic range (some of the moulds have been lost). John also has the ex-Wodensfeld ACW slowly starting production - Louisiana Tigers and Rebs marching as well as few mounted generals & officers are currently available in limited numbers.

The first two pictures are of NP 7, British Line Infantry Advancing




The next two are NP 23 French Line Voltigeur/Grenadier in shako firing




John tells me limited stock of the following figures are available:

NP10 British Line Infantry standard bearer
NP 9 British Line Infantry officer
NP 7 British Line Infantry at ready
NP 7a British Line Infantry at ready, variant with musket sling
NP 22 French Grenadier of Guard firing
NP 23 French Line Voltigeur/grenadier in shako firing

and further figures to come:

NP 6 Brunswick Infantry
NP 8 British Line Infantry firing
NP 19 French Guard officer
NP 21 & 21a British Hussar and horse

Douglas Miniatures Crimean War Range

These figures are among my all time favourites. I had acquired a small number from e-bay without having a clue what they were, until kindly identified by Harry Pearson. Characterised by their round bases, similar in proportion to Hinton Hunt, there is just something about these figures which caught my eye. The moulds, which had been feared lost, have been found and these figures will be put back into production. My intention was to wait for this and then build Crimean amies with the reissued figures, but in the meantime I seem to have acquired large numbers of Minifigs S range Crimea figures. But that is another story...
