Douglas Spanish Infantry Grenadiers NP2
If you have been waiting years wondering how to paint those Douglas Spanish Grenadiers - your wish is my command
I’ve got quite a few - the Crimean range are my favourites, I first bought some ages ago from eBay which were unidentified- lovely crisp original castings - without knowing what they were, and was very pleased when I found out. If their ranges had been anywhere as comprehensive as Hinton Hunt or Miniature Figurines they could have been a major competitor.
If I told you I had some Kirk figures, would you also be impressed? I do have at least one of the only decent figure they ever produced.
Sorry Rob deleted your comment by mistake whilebtrying to manage comments with sausage fingers on my phone - please repost. As to where to find Douglas or Hinton Spanish - no easy answers just the usual keeping an eye out. Unless they are the wrong size for you and don’t mix with your other figures don’t forget S Range which had some very nice Spanish foot figures - particularly eye catching was the officer in greatcoat and bicorne with telescope. Along with the blokes in skirts.
Im impressed you actually possess some Douglas miniatures, well done.
