Lamming (Early) 20mm - British Mounted Personality Figures

British Personality figures shown arrayed and ready for painting.

This completes the Lamming British Cavalry figure postings - any further figures were the later and larger figures.

Lamming (Early) 20mm - British Mounted Personality Figures - Duke Of York

Lamming (Early) 20mm - British Mounted Personality Figures - Earl of Uxbridge

Lamming (Early) 20mm - British Mounted Personality Figures - Mounted General

Lamming (Early) 20mm - British Light Dragoons

The top two images show front and back views of the British Light Dragoon figures.
From left to right - top row: BC13-Light Dragoon Trooper, BC14-Hussar Officer. bottom row: LD British Light Dragoon Horse and BOH British Officers Horse.
To the best of my knowledge Lamming never got around to making a Light Dragoon Trumpeter and if they did it was almost certainly a 'more robust' and therefore to0 large for me to use. If you click and enlarge the first image and look closely you can see the 'scale creep' of the Officer (which figure was made some time later) compared to the Trooper!

The bottom two images shows two Light Dragoon regiments (with two squadrons each)
lined up awaiting their paint job!

Lamming (Early) 20mm - British Hussars

The top two images show front and back views of the British Hussar figures.
From left to right - top row: BC1-Hussar Trooper, BC2-Hussar Officer and BC5 Hussar Trumpeter. bottom row: H3 British Light Cavalry Horse and H2 British Light Cavalry Horse.

The bottom two images shows two regiments (with two squadrons) brigaded and led by Uxbridge. The paint fairy needs to get to work!

Lamming (Early) 20mm - British Heavy Dragoons - Royal Scots Greys

The top two images show front and back views of the Royal Scots Greys figures.
From left to right - top row: BC2-Scots Grey Trooper, BC6-Scots Grey Officer and BC7-Scots Grey Trumpeter. bottom row: BOH Officers Horse and RSC British Scots Grey Horse.

The bottom two images shows the regiment (with two squadrons) brigaded for comparison purposes with a similar regiment of Minifigs S Type figures.

Lamming (Early) 20mm - British Heavy Dragoons

Lamming British Heavy Dragoons could be painted as either Dragoon Guards or Line Dragoons. (They are depicted as the Kings Dragoon Guards in the previous post)

The top two images show front and back views of theses figures.
From left to right - top row: BC10-Heavy Dragoon Trooper, BC11-Heavy Dragoon Officer and BC12-Heavy Dragoon Trumpeter. bottom row: BOH Officers Horse and BD British Heavy Dragoon Horse.

The bottom two images show two of the three regiments of the Union Brigade - Ist Heavy Dragoons, The Royals(English) and 6th Heavy Dragoons, Inniskilling(Irish) each with two squadrons. to these two regiments was added the 2nd Heavy Dragoons, Scots Greys(Scottish)-(featured in the next post). The Union Brigade was so called because it was made up of these three different national(ethnic or regional) regiments of the United Kingdom.

Lamming (Early) 20mm - British Life Guards and Horse Guards

Lamming British Life Guard Cavalry figures were produced to be painted either as Life Guards or Horse Guards.

The top two images show front and back views of theses figures.
From left to right - top row: BC3-Life Guard Trooper, BC8-Life Guard Officer and BC9-Life Guard Trumpeter. bottom row: BOH Officers Horse and BLG British Life Guards Horse.

The bottom two images shows the British Guards Cavalry Division (known also as the Household Brigade)(2 Brigades of 2 Regiments each of 2 Squadrons). The Regiments are the 1st and 2nd Life Guards, The Royal Horse Guards (The Blues) and the Ist Kings Dragoon Guards (figures featured in the next post). All awaiting the illusive paint job!

Lamming (Early) 20mm - Size Comparison with the 'more robust' or 'upgraded' figures

Hopefully this will illustrate the difference in size between the early Lamming and the later 'upgraded' figures. Left to right: top is the British dragoon and under him the upgraded version. Next is the French Guard Chasseur and again underneath the upgraded version. Next is a Hinton Hunt Hussar to show comparison size - I was prepared to live with the difference here. The top left horse is a Hinton Hunt (which I always felt was a bit too small - particularly for heavy cavalry), Next to that is an early Lamming horse with the upgraded version underneath it. Finally bottom left is newer Lamming French Hussar which appears to be midway between the two Lamming sizes!
I think you might be able to see why the early Lamming were acceptable to me and the later ones were not. You can see it better when you click and enlarge the image.
Finally to respond to a question received as to why not just use Hinton Hunt Cavalry - which is of course a good question - the fact is that at the time I got around to and could afford to buy cavalry - unfortunately the Hinton Hunt Cavalry moulds had deteriorated and were generating badly flashed lumps of metal!

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.

Lamming (Early) 20mm - French Carabiniers of the Line

The The top two images show front/back and left/right views of the Carabiniers of the Line.
Top row left to right: FC21-Carabinier Trooper, FC22-Carabinier Officer and a conversion Carabinier Trumpeter since Lamming didn't get around to making one. It uses the Cuirassier Trumpeter with an available Cheveau-Leger Lancer head.
Bottom Row: Horse FCH for the troopers and (Unmarked) Heavy Cavalry Officers Horse.
The bottom two images show the 2nd Heavy Cavalry Division - 2 Regiments of 2 Squadrons each of Carabinier and the 2 Regiments of 2 Squadrons each of Line Dragoons (mentioned in the Empress Dragoon posting) - commanded by a Carabinier Divisional General.

Lamming (Early) 20mm - French Cuirassiers of the Line

The The top two images show front/back and left/right views of the Cuirassiers of the Line.
Top row left to right: FC3-Cuirassier Trooper, FC8-Cuirassier Officer and FC9-Cuirassier Trumpeter.
Bottom Row: Horse FCH for the troopers and (Unmarked) Heavy Cavalry Officers Horse.
The bottom two images show the 1st Heavy Cavalry Division (Cuirassiers) - 4 Regiments of 2 Squadrons each commanded by a (seconded) Minifigs Cuirassier General.
More painting - Sigh!

Lamming (Early) 20mm Conversions - French Chasseurs a Cheval of the Line

Unfortunately Lamming didn't get around to making Line Chasseurs or Dragoons prior to moving to the larger 'more robust' 25mm figures - and in fact may not have done at all. So I used the Cheveau Leger Lancer and put the head from the Hussars on them, removed lances and added the swords to make a conversion regiment of Chasseurs a Cheval shown here. I made the first squadron elites as for the Hussars also.
The top two images show left to right the Chasseur Trooper, Officer and Trumpeter front and back views together with the Horses which are the same ones used for the Hussars.
The bottom two images show the 3 squadron regiment lined up ready for painting.
