Hiya,

I dont even know if such a thing exists, let alone where to get it from, but I\'m looking for some American 1812 historical figures... a man and a woman. I\'m (hopefully) doing a diorama for a friend who got married in all his re-enactment gear, and thought it would be a nice touch to get it as true to life as possible.

Any ideas???

What scale minis are you after or will any size do?

 

[Pimpin Smurf]

Any size but the bigger the better really. Ive found some on Foundry\'s website, but any other suggestions would be welcomed.

Ok, a few questions - what does he reinact - 1812 Military, Civilain? Does he do Mountain Man or something else - all this data might help.

As far as I\'m aware it\'s like a settlement where some of them are in millitary dress, some not. He tends to take the role of a medic, but in photos Ive seen he hasn\'t been in any kind of millitary dress. His wife usually dresses in a billowy dress and bonnet. I don\'t know the correct terms for all these kind of clothes lol

I guess I\'ll know what I\'m looking for when I see it

Pimpin Smurf, you might want to ask this question to the crowd at TMP 19th Century Message Board -- someone over there might be able to point you in the right direction. Here\'s the link:

Try a google search for
Historex - they make all kinds of 54mm Napoleonics period stuff. They might have something suitable
