I have now been through the entire contents of the toolbox that was full of painted and unpainted figures, and removed everything that I think may be of use.
Part of the results of my efforts can be seen below in the form of plastic bags containing various figures.
One thing does concern me; despite all the 'mining' I have done of my lead mountain, I still have an almost full toolbox of unpainted figures!
One thing that I do need help with is the identity of the following figures.
I found them in the lead mountain and have no idea who manufactured them. Any suggestions or information would be gratefully received.

I can't help imagine you missing a front tooth and wearing a battered prospectors hat now.
ReplyDeleteAre they 25mm ? if so maybe Warrior ?
ReplyDeleteConrad Kinch,
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the chewing baccy ... and the old mule!
All the best,

A.W. Kitchen,
ReplyDeleteThere are certainly 25mm (the grid behind the figures is made up of 10mm squares).
They may well be Warrior figures ... but if they are I don't remember buying them.
All the best,
Bob
the figures are from a defunct range from Warrior, think the range was 1690s, all shown are gunners, if you have any others from that range i'll buy from you plus any HH, DM lads

I was thinking, before seeing their actual identity, that those unidentified figures could stand anywhere from the English to the American Civil War...
ReplyDeleteArchduke Piccolo,
ReplyDeleteThey are from that age when figures were made so that they were useable for more than one definite historical period. The figures could certainly be used to crew artillery from about 1675 to 1775 without difficulty.
All the best,
Bob
Those Warrior 1690s figures i've painted up for Sedgemoor, Boyne etc very handy for 1670 to 1720 period
