These look great I especially like the background you went into. Makes it so much more real than just “Trooper A”

@piers You might be able to help me with this one with this release of painted minis

Back in the mid 90’s there was a company doing the UK show circuit with a large range of 20mm metals. Models I remember were refugees (with suitcases and prams), uniformed German civil policemen, the “first” infantry in foxholes (with resin foxholes) and lots of other “niche” minis that tended towards the modeler (rather than the wargamer). For example not much call for uniformed civil policemen for a WW2 german army in most army lists.

Now its not SHQ, AB or any of the other “main” 20mm producers. And it was around in the mid 90s (then I left to live in the US and lost touch). Really looking to get some of these minis again, and ideas who they could have been (last sighting for me was Sheffield Triples in 95, but then wasn’t back until 2004)?

Hmmm looking at the few photos, it looks like Battlefield Miniatures was the company (going one the sculpting style). Pity there’s so few left available of the range (as it used to be very extensive). Thanks Piers, been going mad (when I remember to try and find them) over the years trying to track them down. Wasn’t sure if the range had been sold on and was operating under a different umbrella name. But the Refugess are available still…so I’ll be putting in an order for a diorama I’m making (might have to go to CP for the police model).
