Elite Miniatures

[Franco]

Dear PF Members,

I would like some input into two Elite Miniature figures which I am considering getting. Would help if people who have these figures could provide comment etc.

The two figures are:

ST70.11 Butler's Rangers scuplted by S. Cannone (70mm)

The new 54mm knight released by Elite - knight with shield and flag.

Looking forward to any valuable input.

Ciao
Franco

I don't have these figures, but I have purchased other Elite figures in the past and have been very satisfied with their products.

Cheers
Roc.

Franco, Both are nice figures, but I think the Butlers Ranger would give you more to paint. Besides, the American Revolution is one of my favorite periods. ~Gary

I can say only good things about Elite figures, I got some of their old knight kits and they are well pack, many photos and good quality, you would not be dissapointed. I only paint 54mm but soon would be getting some of the new 75mm figures.

Saludos

I agree with Gary, the Butler's Ranger is really nice. I don't know about the knight. The place to inquire about that would be at www.elpassohonroso.com a site dedicated to Medieval and Renaissance miniatures hosted by my old friend Augie Rodriguez. You will get straight answers and advice by dedicated people who know their stuff,
Cheers!

I have Butlers Ranger and it looks a very good figure. Lots of friends have paitnied and theyre quite satisfied. All Elite figures i have stocked - most in 70 - are very good and with almost perfect metal quality and surface

Thank you all for your kind input.

Sounds like they are both good figures so my list of 'wants' just keeps growing...

Ciao for now

Hi Franco,

I believe I have painted the new Elite 14 C. Knight with Banner, if that's what you are referring to: http://www.michtoy.com/MTSCnewSite/figures..._5400/5426.html.

If this is the fellow, then I can say he was loads of fun....

P.S. How's the surfing in Perth? I surf a 9'6" longboard...
