More Lamming Napoleonics - BA/11, 12, 13, 14 - British Foot Artillery

There were two further Royal Artillery figures, of which I do not yet have examples - BA/9 gunner with match and BA/10 gunner with lever.

Lamming artillery pieces were considered very fine, with Don Featherstone for one a big admirer of them.

Lamming Napoleonic Figures

A recent eBay arrival contained, among other things, around 20 Lamming Napoleonic foot and eight mounted figures. There were one of each of the foot figures and some duplicates among the mounted, which included four different types of horse.

This is a significant addition for me as I have never had sight of most of these figures - I have a couple of units (yet to be repainted) and a few odds and ends, mostly command figures.

The foot figures contain more of these (command figures), two four man artillery crews (RHA and French Foot), and a number of standard infantrymen.

The artillery crews do not quite include all the gunner figures which were produced. There is also one slightly intriguing figure, of which more anon. With this exception they are all from the first series Napoleonic Range (before Bill Lamming replaced them all with "heroic 25 mm" versions. While all the figures are very welcome additions, I am particularly struck by the mounted figures as I am not sure (without an all-day expedition into the loft) whether I actually have any of the first series cavalry already.

I will also need to do some further investigation into the horses, in case I can identify and/or find a list for those with visible codes - this may provide a further post.

FIGURES - IDENTIFICATION NOT CONFIRMED

I have not been able to provide confirmed identification of these figures and any help with this would be gratefully received. In some cases I have a strong idea but don't yet have 100% certainty.

Mystery Prussian Line Infantry - PI 1?

French Hussar Elite in Busby FC 13; or FC 1 Chasseur a Cheval of the Guard? Or other? Horse is not necessarily a clue - haven't done any work on the horses so mounted at random

Possibly British Hussar BC 1

I have two further British Cavalry figures to photograph - British Lifeguards BC 3 and 8 - trooper and officer.

When I have done whatever I can on the identification of the horses (which may not, of course, have been the right ones to start with) I will add new photographs. I also hope to add individual posts for each of the figures in this post.

And next I will post something about the mystery Prussian Fusilier pictured above. I have been talking to the Hinton Spieler about this figure and I think it is fair to say we haven't reached a consensus on it, so I think Matthew will be also be posting about it there,

It comprises:

5 battalions Line Infantry
1/2 battalion Highlanders
1/2 battalion Rifles

1 squadron Life Guards
1 squadron Royal Horse Guards
2 squadrons Light Dragoons

Rose Napoleonic project 2019: British Infantry

Line infantry - five battalions of them - two refurbished, three painted from scratch.

Half a battalion of heavily converted Highlanders from the Peter Goldsbrough collection. There is an officer to add who needs a repair to his sword arm.

Half a battalion of lightly converted Rifles, with their rather nice command element.

Rose Napoleonic project 2019: British Cavalry

Life Guards

Royal Horse Guards

Light Dragoon command, including trumpeter conversion. No later Light Dragoon figure was listed so I don't know what the base figure for these and those below was.

Later Light Dragoons

Light Dragoon 1800 - I only have one of these,unfortunately.

Hussars - again I am not sure what the base figure is, I suspect it is the French Hussar MFR 4

The only two British cavalry figures listed were MBR 1 British Horse Guard 1800-1815 and MBR 2 British Light Dragoon 1800.

Rose Napoleonic project 2019: British Artillery

British Foot artillery - Rose gunners and Hinton Hunt guns.

I did have one Rose British gun but I can't identify it- I painted up my entire British artillery park prior to finishing all my remaining gunners and I can't positively identify the Rose piece. I do remember it was a nice clean model and casting.

Ubiquitous Wellington figure converted with a shako into a British mounted colonel.

British line infantry command bases including Miniature Figurines 20mm mounted officers as colonels. These are one piece castings.
