New 7YW figures by WarTime Miniatures

I have just received some 7YW Hanoverians to paint from WarTime Miniatures made here in Brisbane and I thought I might take some mug shots for comparison with other brands, I was mighty impressed and some what surprised.

So for other like minded 18th century junkies (there seems to be plenty of us) and the curious at heart take a look and judge for yourself.  I'm giving them a thumbs up. Not bad for a first effort with the period and no I'm not getting filthy lucre before you ask I offered to paint them gratis! No I'm not getting soft I'm still the same cold hearted bastard deep down, true ☺

Eureka, Wartime and Minden the Eureka figure is on an approx. 1mm base

Front Rank, Wartime and Foundry the FR fig is on an approx. 1mm base

 I'll take some better comparison photo's when I'm more organised and the bench doesn't have quite so much activity on it.  As far as eye-line is concerned I think they will fit the bill and the heft is quite nice. I think that I might just build a few battalions of these when/if time permits

thanks for looking
dave

    They all look great. I love the green coat. BTW, for my recent Napoleonic game, there were on the table: Front Rank, Perry (plastics & metals, mounted & foot), OG 1st Ed., OG 2nd Ed., Victrix, Sash & Saber (French artillery) and even a few Foundry (on the command stands). Couldn't even tell which was which. Best, Dean

    There does seem to be a good selection of figures that have reasonable commonality height wise, great for mixing and matching.

    @Alex tested the link, it seems to be working now. I'll ask if there has been any trouble with the site.

    nope. i got these error: Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/german.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/wartimem/public_html/includes/application_top.php on line 253

    perhaps it's because i use a german language-setting for my browser and the side use some addon which have not install these language.
    :-(

    Now that could be the problem.

    Maybe try pasting this straight into the address bar.
