Welcome to the Fife & Drum Miniatures Blog

Fife & Drum Miniatures is a new range of figures devoted to the American War of Independence ("AWI"), or the American Revolution, as we call it here in the United States. The figures are designed by Richard Ansell (the creative force behind Minden Miniatures - Seven Years War; and Alban Miniatures - Napoleonic Wars).  The figures are in 1/56 scale, which means that everything about the figure, from the body proportions, the muskets, and all of the equipment, are sculpted to this exact scale. As a result, the Ansell sculpts have a very real and lifelike appearance to them that is unmatched by anything else in the wargame hobby.

I am pleased to announce that the first figures in this range are now in production and we should begin to have them in stock by April 20, 2011. We offer eight American Militia poses and eight British Light Infantry poses. See the Stock Numbers for the individual figures in the list below. We also have the "greens" for eight British Brigade of Guards and hope to put these figures into production shortly.

Our next figure releases will be Continental Infantry in tricorn hats and we should start seeing examples of the "greens" by the end of April, 2011. Over the course of 2011, we plan on adding British line infantry in campaign uniforms, circa 1777, British grenadiers, and artillery crew for both armies, along with an assortment of cannon models and limber sets.
