Here's a Comparison Photograph from Colonel Campbell. . .

In keeping with various posts from the last couple of days, that show how various 25-30mm 18th century miniatures match up to each other, or not as the case may be, here is a picture of, from left to right, figures by: Minot, Minot, RSM95, Minot, and Old Glory.  Hmmmm. . .  The advancing Hessian grenadier and a couple of those officers on foot, designed by Barry Minot and available in metal from Spencer Smith Miniatures, are sorely tempting!
