Mirliton SG

The Mirliton company, born from a hobby of the owner and founder Grazzini Stefano, produces historical miniatures since 1983 in the 15, 20 and 28 mm scales. In 2003 there was a turning point; it had the opportunity to buy from the bankruptcy of the Nemo company in Milan, most of the master molds and production molds with the relative rights of the American company Grenadier Models.

Mirliton was launched as a company in 1983, when owner and sculptor Stefano Grazzini transitioned his hobby into a business.

Its activity began with a substantial number of Napoleonic, French, Russian, English, Prussian miniatures. Mirliton then expanded to encompass the ancients: Etruscan, Roman, Apulian, Celts. Stefano then turned his attention to the Middle Ages - his true passion. Responding to requests from customers as well as its own program, the catalogue then expanded to include the Renaissance, the Italian wars of Independence, and the Second World War. Figures are manufactured primarily in sizes 25-28 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm.

For about a decade or so, Mirliton has made kits available, containing characters that represent events of medieval civil life with careful attention to every detail. Examples include the banquet of the duke; the medieval tavern; the medieval kitchen; the wedding; Federico II’s hunt with falcon, just to name a few. These kits, moving away from the usual battle scenes, have been very well received.

Mirliton has always been very attuned to market innovations, information technology, and the spread of the internet. For almost 30 years, its website has increasingly become popular with wargamers, collectors and military history enthusiasts throughout the world. It offers a very large catalog of miniatures, accessories, books of military history and everything that can be used by a collector or a gamer.

2003 became a turning point when Mirliton had the opportunity to buy the assets from the bankruptcy of Nemo - the Milan company owner and producer of Grenadier Models - including all master molds with related rights. This made it possible to launch into the fantasy market with great success.

There has been a great demand for old miniatures that were no longer available on the market. Now, thanks to the re-edition of these magnificent, revered series, they are available once again. By owning the American company’s original molds, Stefano has recast exactly the same miniatures that sold for many years. Mirliton final aim is to reproduce the entire glorious Grenadier Models series, still appreciated and desired by so many enthusiasts.
