Alberken(Early Minifig) 20mm Napoleonic Personalities - Marshall Ney





Alberken(Early Minifig) 20mm Napoleonic Personalities - Marshall Murat





Alberken(Early Minifig) 20mm Napoleonic Personalities - Prince Eugene





Alberken(Early Minifig) 20mm Napoleonic Personalities - Napoleon





Alberken(Early Minifig) 20mm Napoleonic Personalities - General 'Top Hat' Picton





Alberken(Early Minifig) 20mm Napoleonic Personalities - General 'Daddy' Hill





Alberken(Early Minifig) 20mm Napoleonic Personalities - Earl of Uxbridge





Alberken(Early Minifig) 20mm Napoleonic Personalities - Duke of Wellington




There were eight personality figures in this range - four British and four French.
These sample figures were all painted many years ago by a very dear friend now unfortunately no longer with us - which is why I am loath to strip them down!
I should also point out that many of the so called Alberken figures were not actually in the range until after Minifigs took it over and that strictly speaking are therefore not Alberkens but are Early Minifigs. However I have retained the title in the post headings for consistency over the Alberken and/or Early Minifig range that I display.

Lamming (Early) 20mm - French Mounted Personality Figures






Here are the three French mounted personality figures made by Lamming for this range - they were nice clean castings and each with their own unique horse.

In the top two images (left to right and front and back): French General, Napoleon and Murat with their respective horses underneath them.
On the Bottom: a view of them mounted and awaiting the illusive painter!

That concludes the Lamming French Mounted figures (Except limber riders which will be included with the artillery when shown). After this the Lamming range was to my dismay 'upgraded' into 'more robust' figures - to use their words - or using mine 'into new larger Minifig size lookalikes' and lost all their appeal to me. They always were larger then Hinton Hunt figures but in my opinion manageable and acceptable - the changes made the new versions useless for my use.
