My second go at photogrammetry (after a messy first one), on a 10cm long lead toy, and it went great IMHO :-) .
I am not a toy soldiers enthusiast nor historian, but from the few hits google gave me, I found out that this is probably a french “hussar” or a “horse-riding hunter” from the WW1 era.
If anyone has any precise knowledge about where and when this soldier comes from, please let me know in the comments!
Concerning the scanning process, I used colmap and OpenMVS as suggested by @pfalkingham1 in this post, and took 153 pictures with a Canon Eos 1100d (12Mpx) around the model which “laid” on an articulated lamp in order to correct mistakes from my first scan and get the bottom-facing geometry correctly. After cleaning in blender, I remeshed and baked the resulting model to a lighter version, processed with mmgs.
