15's
Metal manufacturer of 1:76th scale seated
figures for vehicles, war-gaming troops in 15 and 20mm and some artillery
models, all in white metal. They have supplied (specially created?) figures for
a Normandy Landing diorama presented to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford by
MAFVA’s London branch. They aim at a 'true' 1:76th scale/20mm size range at
4mm-1 foot.
A complicated history which only got more
complicated a year or two ago. Tony tended to issue licences rather than
working for himself, and this has lead to problems in the past, and resulted in
a hiatus when he came to retire, this was solved when Eureka (who had been
handling the Napoleonic range for some time) stepped in.
Various statements have been issued by
various parties, some findable in the links below, suffice to say that the
website which had been there since the early days of the internet went dead,
only to be replaced by another which appears to be AB Figures, but is an extension of Eureka's operations. Tony Barton has retired, and has handed
control of those ranges still extant to Eureka.
Eureka has cleaned-up moulds,
invested in new masters and works with partners to ensure as much as possible
of the old AB inventory is still
available
