Britains Ltd Waterloo Guard Figures


Repainted and repaired  Britains Ltd Waterloo Guards 













I bought the officer figure because someone started to convert it to an officer figure that wasn't part of the original set. I added a new head and officer's sash.

Britains only made infantry at attention and a Highlander version plus their 1890s cannon and two Royal Artillery Men.    Below are two Highlanders I painted and sold back in the 80s.

Mexican National Guard figures.

Three figures salvaged from as ancient diorama that was TOO controversial for the local Military Miniatures Convention judges.  It had a lot of violent and sexual figures by Cliff Sanderson. The three figures I took for this smaller diorama are a Monarch Roman  Slave Market series and two figures from an un remembered maker. Two Mexican National Guardsmen in red shirts rest with one of the men's "Soldadera" friend. The time is 1862 and they have just won the Battle of Puebla.
