54MM
Views: 19
Starting to work on a list for REPLICA and. IMPERIAL/DORSET (yes at the same time)… finally decided to adapt my 54mm “action” Toy Soldiers to AGW units… not much fuss at all… but 12 is the magic number for Infantry units! Thankfully Cavalry and Artillery are already OK. I will slightly tweak a bit the rules because I am like that… and the set encourages to do so.

That was that at the beginning of the hobby a wee box of shiny soldiers… much later they would lose that shine (see the Artillery)… but not their charm at all.
So many of us started like this! Enjoy.

Sometimes my 54mm fever is high… must be one of those periods. Enjoy while it lasts.
Surely you can admit they have a charm of their own.

I have posted a lot of Scott Lesch work because it is awesome!… Does that mean that I am going to indulge in the Franco-Prussian War (1870)? NOT AT ALL!… but you must admit his production of Armies is very mice indeed!. And sometimes when awareness is down… I think of it seriously!.
The fact that every unit seems to field a “cantiniere” is non important for me… but adds a “je ne sais quoi”… LOL

Sometimes I tend to forget that there are brand new toy soldiers to buy… silly of course… but when I see an example in Facebook I get it and copy paste here for your daily dose. Enjoy

You must understand us collectors!… he found those and could not resist buying them… that’s how it goes. For once John Lennon was right when he said the evident enough statement “life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”… lol … it really works that way.

Good Old Britains!… I only had a set in my life… but an awesome experience!… So you will forgive me if from time to time I do post some venerable items more seen in auctions nowadays…

The ability of John Clarke to produce Toy Soldiers for AGW never ceases to surprise me… they are full of taste and “allure” as a Frenchman would say (I guess…) So enjoy!

As seen in Facebook… group A Gentleman’s War of course!… delightful pics all round. Have had the rules for a long time (Howard Whitehouse) but never played a game with them… maybe in the not so distant future… but using Playmobil figures. You need etc…

What a good paintjob can do for the castings (all of them) is wonderful.
Her Majesty’s Guards (or Household Division Troops) are a popular choice among collectors or simply aficionados whatever the level. It has much to do with that the daily exposure in such well know military procedures as the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, The handing of the keys at the Tower of London, and similar at Windsor castle. The more “touristic attraction” the more popularity in children minds… So, let it be.
