Another figure company has begun offering Colonial Miniatures through The Model Shop, 190-194 Station Road, Harrow, Middlesex, England. Red Wing 25mm joins Jacklex 20mm at this North West London suburban hobby shop.

The miniatures lack the crisp detail of the "big name" manufacturers and their anatomy is somewhat irregular at times, but these deficits are more than made up for by the "character" of many of the figures and their unique poses.
