Grand Duchy of Warsaw National Contingent: Lancers

These figures are not Hinton Hunt but Alberken (later Minifigs 20mm). I have a small number of separate arm Hinton Hunt Lanvers which may join the colours at some point in the future.

Searching

For the Napoleonic range there are now four main ways to search this blog for the figure you are looking for.

If you can read the first part of the code number of a figure, you can search using codes.

If you know or think you know the nationality of the figure, you can search by nation.

If you are looking for a foot figure (infantry or artillery), you can search by pose.

If you are looking for a mounted figure, you can search by type.

For smaller ranges (American Civil War and Medieval) there is a simpler search - by range (ACW or Medieval) and then by foot, mounted or artillery figures.

You can find a listing of the Hinton Hunt range on the Vintage 20 mil site.

Inspirations

There have been a number of people who have been an inspiration in pursuing this hobby and getting this project off the ground.

I couldn't have got started properly myself without the Vintage 20 mil site created by Richard and Harry .

Pierre Omidyar invented e-bay in 1995 and so has been responsible for my haemorrhaging money for the last few years.

I would like to thank fellow e-bay buyers who have made prices for Hinton Hunt items so high on e-bay that I have mainly stopped haemorrhaging money and am very tempted to start selling instead of buying.

If you don't know it already you really should check out the Hinton Hunt Vintage Wargames blog.

A group of fellow collectors and enthusiasts have offered help, support, comments, figures, words of wisdom, or even sold me figures - among them Alan, Dick, Harry, Ian, Iain, Jim, John, Peter, Tony, Uwe and Will. If I have missed you off you know who you are (and I have obviously forgotten).

Thanks to those who have joined in the joint purchase of a number of large collections and who have passed on the opportunities for these.

And not really for this blog, thanks to those who are buying up the moulds for a number of lovely old 20mm ranges (other than Hinton Hunt) and will be bringing them into production soon.
