The work of Mr. Lesch features quite a few times in this Blog.

Hope you like them as much as I do.

Enjoy!

Scott Lesch Prussians 54mm

And after French, Austrians, and ACW Armies… the might of Prussia…

Scott’s does not do things by half…

Really wonderful customization and modeling… lots to copy and learn from…

Enjoy!

Scott Lesch’s ACW in 54mm

Followers of this webpage, Blog, or whatever this is knows it is my favourite period.

Strangely enough I do not have a single 54MM Toy Soldier figure myself in my collection.

I have a Military Modeling one in 54MM (John Wayne in USA Cavalry uniform… but it can be a much later period… aka Indian Wars 1876… She Wore a Yellow Ribbon like… but could have been THE HORSE SOLDIERS with a black hat too! I think I have already shown that pic several times so…

Scott Lesch’s Austrian Army in 54MM Toy Soldier “style”

Great for a change!

I knew he was building an Austrian Army… but the result is magnificent!… now if those pesky Prussians come against them I fear they will lose order, life and limb!

Very good effort!

Enjoy!

SCOTT LESCH’S OWN CONVERSIONS! 54mm Toy Soldiers

Step by step guide.

Something I have tried myself quite recently… modifying ready made casts… it is fun and gratifying. I will not go as far as saying mine are “pieces uniques” but quite original sometimes!

For once this is really FUN!

Enjoy!

Final result with different heads, paintjob and self printed flags!

Scott Lesch’s Own Battle of Puebla (First) Franco-Mexican War 1862.

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!

John Firth’s Display and Mounted figures!

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!
