Wanting to Buy 54mm Pack Mule

[JonP]

54mm mule!

Does any one know if there is a decent 54mm pack mule on the market. I know there are a few 1/35 scale offerings but I've this idea to build part of a British Napoleonic mountain gun on a mule. I'm not too worried about the saddle and tack but the animal should be halfway decent

Cheers

Jon, the French manufacturer DES Kit do one. Or at least they did one (don't know whether it's still available, I picked mine up at Euro in 2007 or 08).

It comes with a monk figure and the set is called "Moine et son âne", kit no. 54106-F. The animal comes with baggage cast on and it would probably fit your bill. Hope that helps.

Jon, I don't know if the old Mountford range are still around. They did a few pack mules to go with their artillery ranges. Don't Historex do one in plastic? or is that a donkey.

There's also a mule in the Andrea range ref SGA11.

Hecker & Goros have/had a 54mm pack mule for their Gebirgsjäger series.

Muli vor!

Thanks for your help guys.
The Andrea and Tradition seem to be readily available and although the Tradition one is a couple of quid more you get the figure and boxes which will always come in handy.
I shall keep you posted as and when the project develops.

Cheers

Somewhere I have a Royal Miniatures Italian Mule and some Alpini I got them years ago from Stu Binns years ago. Let me know if you want me to dig them out.

Thanks for that Carl but I have taken Dennis up on his kind offer of the Royal Miniatures one.
