Figure Review with John Cross who examines Lamming Miniatures
A series of figures not too well known in the south of 'the
country, although quite popular in the northern areas, I was
first introduced to these figures about two years ago, and they
have improved steadily ever since.
The range of 20/25 mm. figures for War Games is quite large
and embraces the main combatants of the Waterloo campaign. British,
French and Prussian, both foot and mounted are represented.
They are nice, clean, clearly detailed castings of good quality.
Horses in particular are quite nicely done, and the old complaint
of the 'short back' of horses in this scale seems to have been
overcome. I was most impressed with the standard of painting
displayed on these war game figures. Painted in gloss enamels
they were very neatly done, particularly the Highlanders. I
do not know whether this is stock painting, but if so, the standard
is quite high. Unfortunately no price was quoted for the painted
figures.
The unpainted foot figures come in boxes at 33p (6/8d.) for
five figures. Gun crews (5) at the same price. Officers are
obtainable singly at 7p (1/4d.) each. Cavalry are boxed in two's
at 35p (7/-) per box.
Artillery pieces are also obtainable and these include Gribeauval
8 and 12 pounders, 6 in. Howitzer and limbers for same. British
guns include a 9 and 12 pounder, plus limbers, and a 24 pounder
Siege or Naval Casemate Cannon. Cannons and Limbers are boxed
in pairs (either cannon with limber, two cannons or two limbers,
as desired). These are priced at 45p (9/-)'per box. The 24 pounder
Siege gun is priced at 121p (2/6d.). All of the artillery pieces
are very sturdy and well detailed.
