ECW - Guest Appearance

Steve C, that noted collector, convertor and painter of Hinton Hunt figures, very kindly sent me some pictures of ECW figures in his collection, and I think they are so good that I felt I might wallow in a little reflected glory and share his photos here. I emphasise that these figures are not mine - I sincerely wish they were!





Steve describes them thus:

Royalist: four companies of the King's Lifeguard Regiment of Foote - Colonel Lord Lindsey's, Lt Colonel William Leighton's, Major Robert Markham's and a  Captain’s Company, with Charles 1st at their head . 

Parliamentarian : Earl of Essex’s  Regiment. 

All are Hinton Hunt figures with a couple of Les Higgins conversions.

      They certainly remind me that I am just dabbling in this hobby!

    Careful, Foy, the glory intensity from that lot is blinding and possibly even fissile!

    Now isn't the mounted figure between the two dismounted HHs a Kennington or some such? He certainly isn't a Hinton or a Higgins.
    Lovely units !

      Position of left hand and big gauntlet on short arm suggests he might have been a Kennington Napoleonic French mounted infantry officer.

      I lost count, but I think the red unit is about 74 men.

    Indeed! Splendid (and somehow rather Christmasy).

      Agreed. That is a lovely visual Christmas present, a mass of Old School goodness.

      We can certainly ask, but, since I know nothing about them, I don't expect an answer.

      A clue - Steve tells me he has about 1500 ECW soldiers altogether - this sounds like a big operation...
