54mm Toy Soldiers – Page 3 – My Toy Soldiers & Me

REPLICA comes back with an orgy of redcoats!

The long awaited return of REPLICA is here!… and this set from the owner is very similar (enhanced by a lot more of figures for the pic) to a commission from the National Army Museum (UK).

What else can I say?

Enjoy!

A very similar composition is now at the National Army Museum… courtesy of REPLICA!

Another view of the decorations to Royal Fusiliers!

They look very similar but the details are important!

My own work would never be in a Museum… but I love that some figures in my collection are from Andrew Stevens from REPLICA!

Miscellaneous

That was my recollection of a wargame.

Below some classic Toy Soldiers Bands.

Enjoy!

Directly from my Vault (as captured in Facebook)… There are Collectors that keep their figures in the original boxes without even once sort them from the rubber ties… to each its own way of collecting and enjoying the hobby!

It certainly it is not mine.

Enjoy!

Hiriart do lovely Toy Soldiers (or did I do not know if the company still produces those marvels).

Prussian Cavalry

It seems proper to picture the Prussians from time to time… one of the shortest living “States” in Europe… but boy they did make it happen with a loud BANG!

Even today you can recognize some late Prussians in TV.

Enjoy Toy Soldiers!

French Cavalry

As a wargamer I stop at 1900… even Omdurman has a nasty ring to it… but as it is and was… revenge has always been a mighty motive… but I can not abide the Boer War (Second) Concentration Camps (an Spanish original idea from Cuban insurrection times…)… call me silly but it is like that… I have the remains of a stupid sense of honour (it would be too long to argument so lets keep it at Toy Soldier level).

It is hard to me to accept Toy Soldiers “casualties” in wargames… so… imagine what I think about “civilian casualties” or colateral damage as cynics say…

Enjoy the pics!

End of the XiXth or last third of it saw the last of the “nice” pre-industrialization uniforms…

21st Lancers

Winston Churchill rode with them at Omdurman… a favourite subject of Britain’s factory and others…

Enjoy!

My Own 6mm Unit (any British lancer Regiment)

John’s Britain’s

Having a look at the chat in Facebook I have found this impressive sets of Britain’s.

I was born too late to collect those sets I guess… but nevertheless I have always liked them. Can you imagine when Toy Shops stocked those red boxes?… I do… with Nostalgia.

Enjoy!

Just a pic ! (Royal Marines).

Bands are always a popular subject. A 48 piece set is always magnificent.

Enjoy!

Al Fisher’s Own

Out of the blue an email with pics!… something out of the ordinary I can assure you! By the way if you want your collection or pics from it published here send them to me (as long quality is as shown below!).

It has been about three years since I started this Blog intermmitently, nowadays I try to post once a day (mainly I can do that)… but even if I have devised means to contact with other collectors… Facebook does the trick better because my son (Expert in computers… his career and way of life!) do not believe this humble Blog needs feedback because of spam… so… I keep publishing my email on it from time to time and sometimes SUCCES!… someone takes the pain of bothering about it and gets out of his or her way (I know it is mainly HIS) to contact me and drop a line or even pics!.

Yesterday was one of this days. So I give you the pics kindly sent by Mr. Al Fisher (Senior to me in experience and years!… who is still in the hobby…)

Truly glad of it! I asked him for permission to publish!… so there you have it… as always you can contact me at adb@andorra.ad (YES! a country with NO Army as Pete Seeger sung…)

Enjoy!
