Imperial Miniatures Ltd is owned and run by the Spencer family (Antony, Anita and Laura) who bought the company from Mike Lewis in October 2021. Antony has been wargaming for over 40 years and for 5 years ran Westwind Production/Forged in Battle’s trade stand at shows in the UK and Europe. Anita and Laura, in a moment of madness, thought that owning a miniatures company would be a good idea for a family business and keeping us busy after retiring from previous occupations.

Laura has also worked on the Westwind Productions/Forged in Battle trade stand and when she plays wargames has a talent for rolling 6’s but has embarked on a new adventure.

Anita manages the orders and keeping an eye on Antony!

As we are both retired, we operate the business to fit in with our semi-retired lives and our timescales reflect this.

We purchased the business in October 2021 and, at the time, it was home to the All the Queen’s Men, Dorset Model Soldier Company, Little Wars Revisited and its own Imperial Miniatures figures. The business also had moulds for Eastpoint Miniatures but they were not available to customers.

Since then, we have brought GNM Miniatures (Napoleonic, Crimean, Law Enforcement) and 1897 Miniatures (late 19^th/early 20^th century) under our umbrella.

Imperial Miniatures Ltd produces 54mm and 60mm Toy Soldiers from the ranges we own which are sold as castings. They are intended for the adult collector/wargamer. As the castings may contain a small amount of lead and have sharp points they are not intended for children under 14 years old.

We do offer a painting service for customers and are happy to discuss customer’s needs.

As well as AQM figures, under previous owners, other figures were produced to complement the AQM figures and cover other subjects. These are labelled with codes starting IM, codes starting with TB are from the original AQM ranges.

We are fortunate that Giles Brown, the original owner of the Dorset Model Soldier Company, and Graham Mollard, the original owner of GNM Miniatures, have become our friends and mentors. They support us on our ideas for the ranges.

The Little Wars Revisited 19th Century range was originally produced by Black Hat Miniatures, we have been adding to the ranges and have plans to add more figures to the range.

Our plan is to make the Eastpoint, GNM Miniatures and 1897 Miniatures available on the website over time. In the meantime, please get in touch should you be interested in anything from these ranges.

Please allow up to three weeks for us to process casting orders. Timescales for the starting and completing of a painting commission will be discussed and agreed with the customer.

All of our ranges are manufactured and painted by us in our workshop in the Scottish Borders.
