Some Historex figures here: LINK

They list most of the currently available line. I also read that the whole line including the early 18th century ancien Regime figures was readily available in France. Just that there is no interest and no profit in exporting to the US. Face it, everyone does metal or resin. Plastic Napoleonic figures are so 20th century.

THANK YOU BIGGLES!!! You've made my day!!!

You've ALSO made my day!!! I have a French buddy/pen-pal, who lives in Melun, who is an avid modeller, specializing in Ships of all scales, 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 Aircraft, plus 1/24 & 1/25 Cars. I'll give him a shout! PS- If one knows what they're doing, one can bring 20th Century PLASTIC Figures AND Models well into the 21st Century, AND THEN SOME!!! "EVERYONE" doesn't necessarily know which end is up, half of the time!!!

Australian lighthorse could be possible but the wraps would need to come off and the leather type gaiters worn instead.....

Cannibalize the World War I US infantry and ANZAC infantry figures. That's the great thing with plastic figures, inexpensive and easy to mix and match from a stock of parts. Mixing and matching bits from the old Airfix multi pose figures could allow one to model nearly any 20th century army. I remember seeing World War I cavalry built up of Historex and Airfix bits with very little scratch building required.

I seem to remember seeing an article somewhere about that particular WWI Cavalry built out of AIRFIX and HISTOREX parts- Was it in the old "Military Modeller" magazine? Figure Modeller Bill Horan also makes a lot of use of spare plastic arms, legs, heads and other "body parts", as well. I keep one of those metal cabinet things with all the smaller clear plastic "drawers" pretty well-stocked with extra figure parts, too... Wish that SHENANDOAH was still in business- They had a really GREAT line of American Civil War Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry figures...

Looks like another set of horses I can use in a zombie diorama. Heck, maybe modify some of MB's latest "girlie" figures riding thru a bunch of zombies, dealing with them with sabers or maybe a lance?

Six months later and I finally got the sets! The British figure can be easily modified to carry a lance as lancer or hussar regiments did in World War One. A slouch hat, leather leggings and bayonet would give you an Australian light horseman. (Or sourcing new weapons and head gear could also give you Boer War British cavalry) I might do him as a Canadian with the greener uniforms as they wore bright shoulder flashes. Remember mounted British cavalry was deployed in 1918 after the break through. The German comes with either lieb hussaren or covered busbies. The black uniform was not worn in World War One but it is identical to the colored uniforms worn prior to 1910 so you could do a German hussar in a pre-war color uniform (Black, blue, red with different colored braids) Sourcing a short shako would give you an Austrian hussar, different ammunition pouches and rifle would give you an 1870 Franco-Prussian War Prussian hussar to use with the old ICM Franco-Prussian War sets. German hussars as I noted before did retain their braided jackets till the end of the war, resisting the changeover to the plain blouses introduced in 1915. So if you like late 19th Century to World War One cavalry here's your set.
