I guess 20mm but this doesn't make much difference to me with figures. With animals, less so.

They're either large mules or small donkeys.


cheers.

Ah. Thank you. It seems Hinton Hunt are no longer in production and rather expensive on ebay.

I found two for £2.50 from East Riding Miniatures:


And there are the Strelets ones in the various baggage trains.

The Australian one in Matchbox's set.

Two resin ones from Nikolai for €8.07

Two metal ones from Valdemar for €6.50 (Valdemar figures are very nice!):


But I still don't know which way to go!

PDA: a friend of mine in Wales owns the HH moulds.

If you want to buy the HH mules, they aren't that dear.
I can give you his email.

That'd be great - maybe there is some other stuff in his possession that I might be interested in; screw guns and Hales rockets, for example. As long as you don't open him up to loads of spam. Wonder if I know him?!
