Ducal Models specializes in "On Parade" figures, offering collectors and hobbyists a diverse selection of toy soldiers and figures to create parades of any scale. Whether it's a celebration for The Freedom of the City of a county regiment or a Royal Review of Scottish contingents, Ducal provides everything from depictions of historical units to the Massed Bands participating in the iconic Trooping the Colour ceremony. Crafted in the United Kingdom and hand-painted in England, each figure is meticulously detailed with a glossy finish, resulting in a stunning visual appeal. Collecting these figures presents an exciting and rewarding challenge.
Founded in 1975, Ducal began producing exquisite models in their own British workshop. Every detail was thoroughly researched before production commenced, allowing Ducal to create master models for each piece. After casting and assembly, skilled artisans completed the painting, making Ducal a true cottage industry.
Ducal focuses on Ceremonial Pageantry, boasting one of the most comprehensive ranges of related figures available. Their collection includes both mounted and foot figures, featuring instrumental bands, drums and fifes, bugle corps, color parties, various troops, and notable historical figures. A vast inventory of cavalry and infantry ensures that displays can be both historically accurate and visually appealing.
Ducal produces military figures in both sets and individual pieces, showcasing extraordinary beauty and detail that makes them highly collectible.
