'They are 54mm miniatures created by scanning historical reenactors with a 3D printer. They are still a long way from handcrafted figures, but they should serve as a base for painting the Marquis of Alcantarilla's regiment'
We are approaching a time when reenactors can sell miniatures of themselves at events.
"BRITAINS HERALD ENGLISH CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS
At a toy show sometime in the 1990s, I found a Britains Herald 54mm English Civil War foot figure with the sword. He looked like a Musketeer and I wondered for a long time what other figures came in this group. Then when I started getting on eBay, I saw dealers offering these figures. Britains had these in their Britains Models catalogs from 1959 to 1962.
In December 2018, I saw a group of 15 Britains Herald English Civil War soldiers and purchased them. I found a few more here and there as well as small groups of them on eBay. This is what I had after 4 years of collecting them. I now have 90 Britains Herald English Civil War soldiers."
54mm demi -round made by a company called L.A.D When I first saw them I was reminded of the plastic Spencer Smith figures if you remember them.
"Hello Friends!))) I present a figurine of an English grenadier of the Weller regiment during the War of the Spanish Succession. 54mm

These are really great in my opinion. My kind of scale.
Neville says 'First outing, a la lockdown solo game, for some 54mm SYW figures. A Prussian force tries to take a walled enclosure from a force of Saxons backed by Austrian Cavalry'.
there is a mixture. Most of the Prussian's are Hat. I think these are very nice figs, and pretty good value too. Command, Musketeer, Fusileer, and Grenadier are available. The Saxons are some Armies in Plastic AWI pretending. These are not so good and paint doesn't adhere so well (the'll do though). There are some Armies in Plastic AWI Cav as well but these are a bit hidden. Most mounted are Del Prado and again we are pretending a bit, many being a bit earlier or latter than SYW. A man in a Tricorn on a horse is tricky to find! Some minor conversion on generals. Hat has been promising some SYW Austrians since shortly after the war ended.'
Let's hope Hat doesn't take too long for the Austrians/.
This is excellent. I love this scale. The figures are from a variety of manufacturers, I think I recognise some. Regiments include Du Roi and Lorraine. Malplaquet wiki
