I recently ordered several figures from John, of Military Miniatures Warehouse (ordered Sunday.......came in the mail Wednesday) in which La Meridiana's Rogers Ranger was one of them. To my surprise when I opened it it is a sweet little figure loaded with detail and all kinds of diferent scenes he can be incorporated into. The figure came boxed between 2 layers of foam with instructions in Italian and references to books of English text.

The kit is comprised of 10 white metal parts which are cleanly cast and dry-fit was good.
Below you see the lower leg portion of the body with the bottom part of the blanket draped around the figure.

The right arm is seperate and the left arm is attached.

Below are the accessories with a beautifully sculpted musket / rifle

Another feature that caught my eye was 2 seperate snow shoes that attach to the back of the Ranger.

Conclusion: Excellent figure that I am sure we will see on the show tables. I hope La Meridiana comes out with some accessory packs that include the snow shoes and their rifles.
 
Guy, Thanks for the review. IMHO this is earlier figure is not the best of their F & I war figures, but it still makes for an interesting interpretation of a ranger dressed for winter campaigning.~Gary
 
Guy,

I'm glad to see your review of this figure. I am just starting the French marine in this series and wanted to paint the Ranger next.
 
Thanks Paul,

I am working on the French Marine as well. I plan to do him with the Iroquois that was just released (without the 1/2 canoe). I look forward to seeing yours.
