I think many photo sharing services don't let you share the pictures on other sites, but here you go..

So you're going to become the wargame photo hosting site then

There's clearly a demand for it so maybe there is a commercial model I could consider...
Now, if I could also combine photo hosting with a proofreading business, that would really be starting to cook on gas...

Thanks Tim!
The figure on the far left is Viking Forge. Any suggestions for the other 3 gratefully received.

What scale are they Pete,if 25mm the 3rd from the left looks a Minifig and the one next to it could be a Dixon,it's a long time since Lynda bought hers and the memory goes after a while

I'd definitely go with Minifigs for the far end.

Thanks for all the replies.

Does anyone still sell these? Struggling to find them....
I see that Minifigs are still going but have very few photos on their website.

The moulds for the Jacobite Miniatures ranges previously sold by Stronghold were acquired by a chap from the Wargames Association of Reading club. They are trading under the name Elite Wargames And Models, and are gradually working through the moulds they have to put the ranges back together. They have no website as yet some years after picking them up, but he often trades at Warfare just inside the front door of the show (on the right)
At one time he could be reached at
elitewargamesmodels@gmail.com so maybe email them for a list of the figures they have managed to work out what they are and put them into ranges based on what apparently was a set of unmarked moulds.
When they were listed at Stronghold the ranges included Tibetans, Turks, Ch'in Chinese, Hoplite Greeks, Macedonian Greeks, Thracians, Aechemenid Persians and Indians - the Dark Ages/Medievals included Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Eastern Europeans (Hungarians, Poles, Lithuanians, Teutons), Russians, Mongols, Generic European Medievals, Early & Late C16 European Generic Medievals, Burgundians, Later Swiss & Elizabethan Irish & Scots that may also be suitable for Ancients. As of Warfare 2012 they certainly has Arabs, Greeks, Hoplites and some of the Dark Ages stuff too already identified and available.
They were being sold for £2.50 for 8 foot/4 mounted.
Seemed like nice people when I met them on their stand - email them for ordering details
