Hi all

I was wondering if anybody could help I have been trying to find a figure By a company called

“E and I miniatures”

its of a French revolutionary in a beautiful pose, legs apart and just turning to his left on his heals, head looking over his left shoulder, its made from resin and is about 90 - 100mm (I think) it definitely not 54mm. I know the company has long since gone out of business, but i was wondering if anybody knew of one available, anywhere....

Dave, I believe you're talking about I&E Miniatures. If I'm not wrong they no longer exist, which is a good thing. Without going into any detail Do not do business with these people if they are still in business. If you should find it on a site like Ebay, great. But I would stay away from these folks.~Gary

Alan Ball did the sculpting on this one and it is a very nice figure. He may be able to help, or does the Red Lancers still have them in stock?

Sorry Dave a bit slow getting my head into gear on this one. As you are London based the Red Lancers may not be the best option!!!. Try Dave Freeman at Bonapartes 01225 423873 (i think) or Dave Armstrong at Armstrong bases, I think i saw one on his stand at Euro. I am after one as well so if I get lucky, if I get two would you be interested?.

Hello Dave,
this is a great Figure and the Quality of casting was very good on my example. I got one from Chuck at Red Lancers,he is having a sell-out on I&E Figures and still has Item 90-AB16 French Revolutionary officer 1776 listed at $15,00 !! A Bargain if ever there was one.
I live in Germany and recieved mine 5 days after ordering (excellent Service) Chuck Robinson is famous for this. Drop him a Mail,like I said you cant go wrong for $15,00 (about 10 Quid). Happy Hunting.

Hi all

Thanks for the fast reply, John I would be interested if you could get one before me, I have been trying for a few months now. Bonapartes had one but that went between Euro and letchworth shows, so I lost out there, but Dave is still looking for me.

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the warnings, I have actually had the misfortune of dealing with this company before, and have since putting the request on here, found one for sale....

Dave

As you may have gathered a fair few fingers were burnt by Mr Burton. :angry: i have contacted Alan Ball who sculpted the General and he has given me a couple of leads
