Who was the maker of this

[Mjølner]

Hello Planeteers

I now I have seen it before but can't remember who made it.
General Custer and??? in 120 mm in resin, can someone tell me who made it.
I ask because it will be put on sale in the near future, so it would be nice to know the maker.
Thank you in advance

I'm not certain. but I'm guessing The Lost Battalion.
Just watch someone prove me wrong.

Cheers,

99.9% that’s from The Lost Battalion

Possibly sculpted by Terry W.

Here’s a painted version

I had this donkey's years ago but I offloaded it at some point because I decided that the poses looked a bit awkward.

Originally it was either Dreamcatcher, Fort Royal Review or Imperial Gallery (for the life of me I can't remember which) but quite possibly LB do it now because they picked up a lot of the other companies' masters.

Almost all of Lost Bn's figures are originally from other producers, from purchased moulds.

That got me thinking Steve.
Finally, a deep search came up with this ebay listing:-
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12668648...2&toolid=10001&customid=m1mmebwgu400jk4100003
Which makes it a Fort Royal Review kit (in its original form).

Cheers,

These along with the Imperial Gallery range and Tiny Troopers ( Mike French ) were the figures I first collected many years ago after seeing the adverts in Military Modelling Magazine back in the early 90's.. Maybe not as exquisite as todays resin and 3d printed figures but subject matter was quite varied..

In their day Fort Royal Review were decent figures and one or two still hold up today. But as you say, things have since moved on in the hobby and they've generally now been surpassed.
