With Jacklex on the North West Frontier


Jacklex 20mm British Infantry

 While I clean up the Sudan War figures I thought it might be nice to show some other Jacklex figures that I painted a year or so ago. These figures are painted, based and gloss varnished for a traditional toy soldier look. My plan is to use "The Sword and the Flame" rules...using my original copy bought c.1980!

For a history of the Jacklex range there is none better than here, at Vintage20mil.

Jacklex 20mm Pathans

I have over the years painted the Colonial, ACW and Great War figures. It is a real treat they are still so readily available from Spencer Smith.

  1. These are lovely! I agree with you that there is something very special about 20mm ranges, especially "classics" like the kind produced by Jacklex. Were time and money no object, there are a number of 20mm directions in which I'd indulge.

    Best Regards,

  3. Matt, that's a fantastic paint job on figures that are difficult to animate because of the lack of detail (I have some Zulus). I've had in my mind to use Jacklex if I ever get around to that Boer War project and gloss varnish may be the way to go!
