Galloping Major and Foundry SYW/F&IW British Foot

Here are a few more British foot for the F&IW project consisting of Galloping Major and Foundry figures. The Galloping Major figures are definitely on the larger side of 28mm - a bit larger overall than the Foundry SYW/F&IW British, and about the same size as the AW Miniatures French infantry. They are very nicely detailed and posed. Their cuffs have the double lacing like the Foundry British. In fact, their coats and jackets are well detailed throughout. Their equipment is a little lighter than the Foundry figures - they don't have backpacks or ammo pouches. Actually, the one officer with a musket has an ammo pouch on his waistbelt. Also, unlike the Foundry British, their sword hilts are sculpted as showing under their coats' left turnback. The Foundry figures have most of their swords and bayonets hidden under the turnback. All in all, very impressive figures and highly recommended - particularly for skirmish gaming, not only for their larger size but the metal they're cast in is quite solid and not bendy like some other makes.

The Foundry figures are from a pack each of marching poses and their "Characters" set - including the guy with bandaged head and the guy waving his tricorne.

EDIT: Group shot below with the Galloping Major and Foundry figures mixed together. The size difference between the two makers are not very noticeable - most likely due to both of them having a chunky appearance - particularly in the face and hands.

I had posted the shot below with the two makes in separate rows (GM first two and Foundy last two) - which made the Foundry appear smaller due to the perspective.

Comparison shot below. Left to right: Foundry, Galloping Major, Foundry, Galloping Major.

I have a few more Galloping Major figures to paint - several more officers and a pack each of Rangers and Coureur des bois. Adding a few flags for the British as well. I was able to use some Napoleonic flags after painting over the Egypt and Peninsula honors on them. Plan to attend another Museum of Flight Game Day up in Seattle next Saturday. Until next time, thanks for visiting and wishing you the best.
