Those 54mm by Scott are always stirring toy soldiers!… Do not tell me the subject is well known!
Exotic to say the least!
Napoleon’s III intervention in Mexico (Because the Mexicans were not paying their international debt!)… follow the money!
Wonderful Toy Soldiers!
Enjoy!

How to display a collection is a matter of personal taste.
Found this one simple and efective… overall nice solution (even if those cavalrymen on the top will gather dust with time (had the same problem with my 54mm military modeling pieces… but it is easy to dust them off!).
Enjoy!
Really the line between Toy Soldier and Militay Model is getting blurred to say the least. Those are IMHO works of art.

This is not the first time I Post John Firth’s work… I just love them figures!, tastefully painted and crafted in a variety of positions.
You do not need much more figures to have a very nice “ensemble”.
Enjoy!

Lets have some cavalry from the same author.
Really you can field exotic uniforms of Yeomanry and Volunteers that way, curiously enough THE BATTLE OF DORKING intended as a “depressing and alerting” book is somehow revered by the wargames fraternity as an opportunity to turn the tables on the willy foe! (You need all sorts you know…)
Maybe some more tomorrow. Enjoy.

One of the successes of “Imperial” forces (not exclusive of the British Empire) is the raising, training and correctly use of “auxiliaries” or “allies”… good logistics and financing needed… in the end Empires crumble by financial overstretched reasons (and yes corruption too).
Lovely pic. Enjoy.

Paul’s a friend, and I am quite happy to Post here his late production or project!
By mere chance I have them sailors too (Steadfast from R.Prati)… but not that beast of a GUN! (I used to have them in 25mm when I collected only MINIFIGS!
I am glad he is publishing pics again… always a source of inspiration!
Enjoy!

It has been a long time since I painted myself a 54mm miniature!… but here we are (well… me) doing it as if time had not passed by. The Heliograph party (2 figures) and the Regimental Colour of the Gordon’s coming quite nicely using Andrew’s Toy Soldiers as a very useful guide! On the pure painting side I am using too many tricks nowadays… old Humbrol enamels (not dried up), Vallejo I guess and Poska markers… and in the end Gloss finish to be sure!
On my last edited entry on the subject if all goes to plan you will see the final version nowadays still pending gloss varnish of course!
I do found more and more difficult to show my own pet subjects by fear of being boring and tiresome, you must understand that collectors and wargamers are in a state of constant doubt, what will I do next?, do I buy this or that (evidently enough budgets have limits), painted or unpainted (that means I will have to paint myself!)… is what I want available?… or affordable?… it is quite more complicated than you think… and my mind juggles and jumps from one option to another several times a day! Once a decision taken one goes to considerable pains to get the goal, sometimes considerably annoying everyone whom has items commercially available… more or less.
Enjoy your hobby.
