Welcome to two princes miniatures, set up by valentine banfield and janet penn, as a way of bringing our love of history to life, through miniature figures.

The company name comes from our two favourite historical princes, who Both marched through our home town of stockport. The dashing cavalier, prince rupert in 1644 And bonnie prince charlie in 1745. Sometime in the future we would like to design figure ranges Connected to them both.

We love our wargames to be on the scale of a hollywood epic and nothing Comes more epic than the siege of malta 1565. How the knights of st john. A kind of foreign Legion of knights, the maltese population and a few hundred european volunteers, defied the Might of the ottoman empire that summer.

We decided malta had to be our first range of figures. Just a pity hollywood Have not made a film of it. What an epic that would be.

Years ago we saw a program about an artist who complained, that he could Never finish a painting. We thought it strange, as the paintings looked finished to us. Now we know What he meant. No matter how much work we put into a figure. There is always that nagging feeling, we could have done more but there comes a time, when we have to say stop the figure is Done.

We decided to go with 20 versions of the knights for the first release. We Have some more unfinished knights on the workbench but will leave them for a while and Concentrate on fleshing out the defenders with some maltese militia, which we will start working On soon. Well thats all for now and thanks for looking us up.
