One of the older manufacturers, Charles Stadden was a WWII veteran who having left the service, took an interest in the military history of Great Britain and began producing a range of figures and illustrations of the military with an emphasis on Britain’s colonies. Stadden went on to work in a variety of scales for wargaming including 30mm, 25mm, and 20mm. The 20mm figures offer a good match to plastic figures.

Stadden appears to have carved his masters from some suitable material, perhaps plaster or jeweler’s wax. This give the figures a different look with flat areas along the figure surface where a knife was used. One could readily appreciate the patience involved. Even so, the figures look very lifelike with excellent proportions. Stadden’s figures never look lifeless. There is a repetition of poses with new heads and details.
