Collecting Toy Soldiers – Page 20

Lost Pic!

Sometimes Murphy is right!… I have intended to post this pic for days… and never found where the hell I kept it in the Vault… Today so help me God… I have done three posts instead of one… due to me accidentally found it by pure chance…

Enjoy!

I simply lost this pic inside “the Vault”… been searching for it days and days! Just my kind of thing (something by James Opie I think but not sure)

Toy Soldiers Cavalry!

Love the background too!

Never seen round bases for the cavalry before… each day you discover new things!

Enjoy!

DORSET/IMPERIAL (more castings)

I must say all this posts are against my own interests… my orders get delayed and delayed because new orders arrive daily at DORSET/IMPERIAL HQ’s… LOL but I must admit they deserve “the plug”… those lovely figures once painted would be proud pieces of a collector… no doubt about that… in the meantime I guess I would have to email Antony asking what about mine? LOL (again)… now seriously one must be patient dealing with the world of conversions and Toy Soldiers “a la carte”… it is not the same to ask for ready made sets than to ask for special pieces… this take time… but the results are worth the wait!

Enjoy!

A Dorset/Imperial Conversion for a german customer…

Other conversions using the same basic body…

British Guards

I don’t know why Bearskins have such appeal… but they do have it believe me!… lots of collectors have them in a place of honor.

Quite good example.

Enjoy!

Visiting an Exposition

A forgotten pic on the vault… I also forgot who was the gentleman who took the pic… but you get the idea… there are still places where the hobby is taken seriously and they dedicate space and cabinets to show beautiful collections… so… not all is lost!

Enjoy!

The chap who posted this in Facebook had a lovely day at a museum of Toy Soldiers

Some Conversions

By Howard Whitehouse as seen in facebook.

Fashion?

I do not know if it is the current fashion… but nowadays Facebook is full of examples of those kind of games. Toy Soldiers/54mm/Fun… not that 6mm has lost its appeal of course…

Maybe it is only my own perspective… never mind!

1870

Really in a hurry today, so… from the vault… a nice pic… hope you like it!

Enjoy.

Love the Cantiniere!… such a French Touch!

Nile Gunboat

Those asiduous in this webpage will recognise a recurrent theme… a lot of wargamers and modelers actually enjoy doing Nile Gunboats! Even yours truly indulged in scratchbuilding a tiny one in 25mm for my MINIFIGS (LOL) I must look in the vault to see if I found a pic… (a sorry example compared with those in 54mm).

Enjoy!
