I know… I know… they look a lot like Military Modeling… great quality if you ask me.
Enjoy!

Luiz Fleury collection Sudan/NWF and French Foreign Legion 54mm (Edited 2025)
Views: 47
If you want to see the full collection of pics try to join the International Toy Soldier Club (ITSC) club 93 members but growing and if I may say so great quality (not talking about my contributions). And there you can comment and post and interact with other members.
Enjoy! I did
Of course one advantage is that as long as your scenery is a bit neutral it can be used very easily in the NWF and in North Africa.
See the French Foreign Legion pics below.

Find hereby some delightful vignettes done by Andrew Stevenson from REPLICA METAL MODEL SOLDIERS.
There are several years specials (for X’mas) mixed up.
Quite peaceful if you ask me…
Enjoy!
And now some real toy soldiers after the sugary season… original subjects to say the least!

If you do collect 54mm Toy Soldiers it would be a good idea to join The International Toy Soldier Club… really good company!
Look one of the last Posts there… A highlander late campaign uniform (kakhi) full Band (Band + Fifes&Drums)… done by Andrew Stevenson for a customer no other than James Opie of worldwide fame expertise on Britains Toy Soldiers.
A fantastic set (bespoke… so unique)…
Enjoy!

It has been a long time, but finally decided to show what craftsmanship can do… Above a badly need of repair set… below the awesome concept and execution. 54mm with a vengeance!… Wish I had this level of “ability” in my fingers. Enjoy.

No much to add. I am always impressed by his works.
ROY DILLEY ARTWORK
Views: 84
On the border line between Military Modeling (Scale Models) and Toy Soldiers (of the best quality), IMHO over the line and much more models than “toys” sure enough.
He did those works (artworks) in the fifties… with very limited materials at hand, to say nothing about paints and brushes.
A pioneer and a master of so many that he has become “the reference”.
Today he would have been a hundred years old and his heir Tony (see other posts about his work) posted those pics in Facebook.
They do not need comment or words from me… I just framed and polished a bit the pics.
Enjoy! (And get a copy of his book).
Dilley’s (Senior) art works

Always have admired the work of the Dilley’s (father & son)… even bought the book (the original one in e-bay or amazon second hand shops… not sure exactly) done years ago and it is a treasured one in my collection.
I do not paint in mat, more Toy Soldier Classical gloss varnish for me… but as with Military Modeling I do appreciate CRAFTSMANSHIP!…
So…
Enjoy!
Francesco Thau’s Own 28mm

I am a huge fan of what Francesco does with 28mm Perry’s… unsurpassed IMHO… those mini dioramas are full of action and tasteful display (and some are standard figures or minis!)… mindblowing standard of painting if you ask me… not my favourite scale anymore… but dear me!… he tempts me everytime I see his works.
Enjoy!
