William Britain® 2003

William Britain® - With more than 100 years of experience, the Wm. Britain name has earned legendary status by producing the most finely detailed and historically accurate lead-free pewter soldiers in the industry. William Britain Jr., an English toymaker, began producing toy soldiers in 1893. Today, Wm. Britain is recognized as the world leader in metal soldiers.

No detail is too small as to escape the demanding Wm. Britain eye for authenticity. Each finely sculpted 1:32nd scale soldier begins as an artist's sketch, with particular attention paid to proper perspective and body mechanics. Details from uniform insignias to appropriate period hairstyles are authenticated by historians and through a vast library of books. The sketches are then sculpted in wax, and rubber molds are formed around the wax figures. Consumer-safe lead-free pewter is then hand-poured into the molds and spun-cast. The soldiers are then each painstakingly painted by hand.

This same meticulous process is repeated across the entire range of Wm. Britain figures. From 15th Century knights to 20th Century soldiers, the assortment represents the most expansive in the industry.
