The photo above compares three metal figures from RSM / Dayton Painting Consortium (A,C,E) with a pair of plastic models from Waterloo 1815 (B,D). Click on the image for a larger version.
THE METAL FIGURES
Manufacturer’s Designation and Number of Poses:
The metal figures come from the former RSM 95 range, now produced by the Dayton Painting Consortium. The range includes foot and mounted figures representing Britain, France, Austria, Brunswick, Spain, Saxony and Bavaria, as well as some artillery pieces. There are about 75 Napoleonic codes in total in their catalogue.
I do not have the actual identification for these figures, although the one on the left is one of the Saxon models.
Figure Characteristics:
Height (measured from sole of foot to eyes): 20mm.
Height (measured from sole of foot to top of head): 22mm.
Availability and Cost:
The RSM figures are currently available from DPC. They can be ordered directly from the manufacturer. They are sold in bags of 24, including command figures, for $10.80 (US).
Notes on the Samples:
The Saxon figure was provided in a trade from Mike Epting.
THE PLASTIC FIGURES

The Waterloo 1815 figures come from box AP008 “Polish Infantry 1812/14.” The box includes 36 figures in 9 poses.
