Ros Figures - Prussian Gunners

Some may know from my other blog that I collect and paint Ros 25mm figures, which were made in the mid-seventies for a short period. Over the years I have hunted down most of the Napoleonic range, although there are still a few gaps in my collection.

A fairly recent find was a group of Prussian artillerymen. Along with a number of other originals I asked Old John to recast them.  Just before Christmas a batch arrived, which included the Prussian artillery.

This is what they look like when painted:

  1. Delightfully shiny! How have you tracked these particular figures -- the Ros 25mm range -- down? Ebay?

    Best Regards,

    1. Hi Stokes, some have come from ebay, I am constantly on the lookout for them. I have some which I bought in the mid 70s and some eagle eyed fellow bloggers have spotted them for sale at shows etc on my behalf.

  2. Fantastic! I am biased about Prussians, it has to be said, but even so.
    All the very best for the New Year, by the way.

    1. I too like the Prussians, with their business like uniforms. Best wishes for 2019.
