Tumbling Dice, Crimean War British


Tumbling Dice is a British company producing 1/72nd scale metal figures in a number of ranges, stretching from the Dark Ages to the nineteenth century. The figures illustrated here are from their Crimean War range. (Click on the picture for a larger version.)


The photo compares some of the Tumbling Dice figures to a variety of other models available to Crimean War gamers. The actual figures are from the following sets:

  • Tumbling Dice set C1854 BR 13 - British Horse Artillery Gun Crew
  • Emhar box EM 7211 – French Infantry, Crimean War & Franco-Prussian War
  • Tumbling Dice set C1854 BR 1 - British Guards in Bearskin

  • Douglas Miniatures Crimean War British Infantry (metal)
  • Tumbling Dice set C1854 BR 1. British Guards in Bearskin

At this time, Tumbling Dice sell their Crimean War foot figures in bags of 8 for 4 pounds (UK). This works out for 50p per figure (UK) or 74 cents (US), and 92 cents (CDN) at current conversion rates.
