Peter Laing 15mm ID post # 3

Before I add them to my online catalogue,

https://collectingpeterlaing15mmfigures.wordpress.com

here are some more of my “best guess” so far Peter Laing IDs for your comment – feedback always welcome.

First some cavalry:

Indian Mutiny 6000 range mounted figures?

Figure 1 – Indian Mutiny

Figure 1: M6001 British cavalry or M6002 British volunteer cavalry ?
Figure 2: Indian Mutiny? M6003 Indian Native Cavalry ?
Figure 3: Indian Mutiny? M6004 Indian mutineer cavalry?

Figure 4: M6001 British cavalry or M6002 British volunteer cavalry ?

Further mounted figures

Figure 5: WW1 A716 Bedouin on camel??
Figure 6: Feudal Dark Age range? M204 Armoured Saracen cavalry, standard?

Figure 7: Renaissance F5012 Turkish Azab shield and spear?

Figure 8: Renaissance range: F5019 English Pikeman? Or F5018 English infantryman with short pike?

Figure 9- Samurai range? F9003 Ashigaru spearman?

Compare this to John the Wargaming Hermit’s Samurai figure post

Figure 10 – Possibly a naval Figure, bell bottoms and all ? Colonial range?

Figure 11 – My sole “Angry Fieldmouse” Peter Laing elephant. Ancient Range? A421 armoured elephant and howdah?

Figure 12 – WW1 Bedouin Cavalry? M712

These are my best guesses so far – I would welcome your comments and ID of these figures.

Hello I'm Mark Mr MIN, Man of TIN. Based in S.W. Britain, I'm a lifelong collector of "tiny men" and old toy soldiers, whether tin, lead or childhood vintage 1960s and 1970s plastic figures.
I randomly collect all scales and periods and "imagi-nations" as well as lead civilians, farm and zoo animals. I enjoy the paint possibilities of cheap poundstore plastic figures as much as the patina of vintage metal figures.
Befuddled by the maths of complex boardgames and wargames, I prefer the small scale skirmish simplicity of very early Donald Featherstone rules.
To relax, I usually play solo games, often using hex boards. Gaming takes second place to making or convert my own gaming figures from polymer clay (Fimo), home-cast metal figures of many scales or plastic paint conversions. I also collect and game with vintage Peter Laing 15mm metal figures, wishing like many others that I had bought more in the 1980s ...

Okay – here are my opinions on these figures:
Figure 1 – Actually a rather nice conversion (I agree for the Indian Mutiny) – but underneath I believe that it is actually a Crimean British figure, probably M0803 – British Light Dragoon charging. I cannot be completely certain as the Hussar, Light Dragoon and Heavy Dragoon from this range are the same base figure but with different headgear!
Figure 2 – Is M0601 – Indian Cavalry, from the Colonial range
Figure 3 – I believe is M0008 – Turkish Cavalry with lance, from the Napoleonic range
Figure 4 – Another nice conversion, likewise I would say for Indian Mutiny, but ‘under the bonnet’ it is actually M0701 – British Lancer, from the WW1 range
Figure 5 – Agreed, A0716
Figure 6 – Not sure (I have the same figure, but as part of a ‘job lot’) – could also be M5002 – Turkish Spahi or M5003 – Turkish Akinji, both from the Renaissance range
Figure 7 – Agreed, F5012
Figure 8 – Not sure, but as you say probably F5019. I suspect not F5018 as that figure would have had a ‘cast on’ short pike
Figure 9 – Not sure, but I would likewise go with F9003
Figure 10 – A6005, British Naval Brigade Seaman from the Indian Mutiny range
Figure 11 – Agreed, A0421
Figure 12 – Agreed, M0712
Hope that helps!
