review by Lynn Bodin
Previously manufactured in Britain under the Pax Britannica label, these well-sculpted, highly-detailed figures are now produced in the United States. A limited range of figures is available covering the Zulu and Boer Wars and the Northwest Frontier of India. The quality of these figures challenges the best that are currently available on the market. Their only potential drawback is their size. They are too small to fit in with any of today's 25mm figures, and too large to go with 15's! They look nice with any old Scruby, Rose, Hinton-Hunt and Jacklex Colonials, but out of place with Ral Partha, Falcon, Frontier, Essex and others. They do match quite well with ESCI plastic figures currently on the market. Perhaps their best market will be with gamers who were torn between deciding on the 25mm figures (too large, too expensive) and 15mm figures (too small). The RSM figures are a happy median between 15mm and 25mm. More Reviews
