Muster Miniatures?

Post by Paul »

A question for the Hive mind.

I've recently bought Vexillias 18mm Ottoman range (Late C18th/early C19th) with a view to possibly adding to it and marketing it under the name 'Muster Miniatures.

Now I can't believe that the name has not already been used, but can't find any sign of a Wargames firm using it. I've done all the normal searches but have a nagging doubt that I've missed something!

Does anyone recall a company called 'Muster Miniatures' or something similar? I'm keen to avoid the mess that Footsore got into a few months back so any help would be appreciated.

You could call it Mustard Miniatures.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

That’s an interesting venture Paul hope it all goes well. I’ve never heard the name or anything similar. The only thing I can spot is an American company called muster box that does display cases but that’s it.

If you are starting off with Turkish figures I’d call it Miniatures of Delight :D

Muster will be a used term in wargames companies as a search engine check shows, but I don’t recall a Muster Miniatures.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

An 18mm Ottoman isn't much to put your feet on.

Not very Ottoman-y.
IIRC these figures were originally ‘The One Tree’ miniatures. If I buy some from you, I’ll have bought them from all three owners of the range.

How about Big Turban? Jingling Johnny? Whirling Dervish?

I reckon Musty Miniatures would be a good name as most of what we buy usually ends up a mouldering in dark cupboards :o
