Elite Miniatures was set up in 1985 by me Peter Morbey the designer and manufacturer. And has grown steadily to over 1000 different figures. Covering my main interest of Napoleonics but also Seven Years War and American Civil War. Cast in a high quality white metal to a size. That used to known as ‘large 25mm but is now generally termed 28mm.
I am also designing my ‘Collectors Series’ which are figures that I wish for my collection. They are slightly taller and slimmer. More 30mm rather than 28mm but they do not look out of place alongside the 28mm stuff. More variety of movement and some seperate parts where a pose cannot be produced as a one piece casting.
I trained as an Architectural Technician from school and continued with this occupation until after five years of running Elite Miniatures. On a part time basis, I took the plunge and went full time with it.
In my early years I learnt the majority of my wargaming at the Wargames Holiday Centre in Thornley Dale. Then Scarborough, under its then owner Peter Gilder. I got to know Peter very well painting figures for him and eventually designing figures for his Connoisseur Figures.
During this time I started converting a lot of figures which led onto designing complete figures. I found that I had an aptitude for this and the second figure that I ever designed. Went into production with Elite Miniatures.
I enjoy designing, painting and gaming with dramatic looking units. Designs of figures, especially my new ‘Collectors Series’ which have even more animation. And detail, by Peter Gilder’s, Suren’s ‘Willie’ figures and dramatic paintings by Detaille, Wollen, Woodville, Rowlands, De Neuville, Don Troiani and others.
Controlling the Chaos Napoleonic Wargame Rules.
I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do.
