NICE OLD 30mm WILLIE NAPOLEONIC MINIS

I recently inherited the miniature collection of Paul, a friend who is no longer with us. Over many decades Paul had painted up a very impressive array of British Napoleonic minis. Amongst his collection were these lovely old 30mm Willie miniatures of British infantry and Royal Marines. These are grand figures, very nicely detailed and well proportioned, a mark of the intrinsic quality of Willies. Even though these figures are at least 30 years old they still hold up very well in comparison to much of what is offered today. Here then are some of Paul's minis for us all to enjoy.

  1. Yes, those are quite nice - all the more impressive with their age (when they were sculpted). Dean
