MINIFIGS & others

25/28mm have still charm enough… specially if well painted!

I know… I sold mine with a very few exceptions… but I still can appreciate their worth… they are not suitable for me because I love BIG battles (aka Gettysburg or Antietam) and 6mm are better for wargaming those SOLO… Enjoy!

Claude Bailey’s Own

His fascination with the Raj is quite infectious!

See another example… Fort Rexford is a must see!

Back to Barracks…

Hilditch’s own (42mm Series B Britains painted to a high standard a la Dilley!)

Got other pics to post but this one appeared today in Facebook and got my eye… you can do much worse and not much better. Enjoy.

Collecting

I found this pic on Facebook some weeks ago… even if you think this is not here not there… well… I love it!… it is minimalist but to the point somehow… Enjoy.

As an addendum the eagle-eyed among you would have noticed the lack of head on the figure of the Bass Drummer Guardsman… I know, you know and he (or she) probably knows that a simple order to (for example) DORSET SOLDIERS (by now IMPERIAL MINIATURES I guess) will supply the missing head (You can even buy painted and plug in with a bit of glue…)… BUT… it would not be VINTAGE then… LOL… really… in this hobby you need all sorts and ALL approaches are CORRECT! Just to clarify the point.

Ditto also arms missing… ditto… ditto.

Little Wars…

As seen in Facebook (A Gentleman’s War)… where can you see an Army composed by Brits, Argentinian, Egyptians, and Americans?… only on those tabletops…

Military Band

A particular subject painting tartan (in a class of their own)

Military Modelers seem to enjoy the challenge of painting tartan… see here a quite fine example.

Old timers

Old Britain’s Japanese Infantry. Adam Falkoff’s Own.

A bit of back to Basics today… how those old minis managed to survive some generations of children is always amazing. Enjoy.

Perfection

Several dys ago I posted (a share) this awesome piece in Facebbok, I must find the author and pay due respect… found the water splashes fascinating… an unusual approach to say the least!

Indian tribes did make war to one another before the “manifest destiny” pressure (to be euphemistic)… I am not a good Military Modeler myself (say average-low) but I am duly impressed with works of art like that. I think the author is a Spaniard… Asociacion de Modelismo Alabarda is all I know…Congratulations!

Not what you will call a group of Toy Soldiers… but I do… I do… I do…
