It does confirm your marching grenadier is Lamming (though I must admit I like the advancing one a little bit more). Also there seem to be two sizes - the British figures are smaller (20mm) while the Prussians and French or Austrians, plus all the kneeling skirmishers and the Native Americans are more S Range size. At first I thought the larger ones again were another manufacturer but I looked again at some unpainted examples I already had of a few of these figures and they are clearly Lamming as well. I also already had an American frontiersman type in hunting shirt which now looks like it must be Lamming (as I'd suspected). They certainly fit well with S Range SYW figures. My main interest for them at the moment is the '45, for which I hope they will provide my cavalry and a couple of infantry regiments. The S Range Jacobite Rebellion figures have a bit of a chunkier feel so I'll need to check how they fit in, but should be o.k. if not used in the same units.<br /><br />CliveVintage Wargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251018372867101509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399255049115922694.post-55177064770499615982013-04-13T06:48:38.792+01:002013-04-13T06:48:38.792+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vintage Wargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251018372867101509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399255049115922694.post-4568795647676041482013-04-13T03:16:03.105+01:002013-04-13T03:16:03.105+01:00What a windfall!
