Not everyone has a collection of them (meaning Britain’s hollow cast), me neither… I had a big box of Coldstream Guards when a child and fortunate I was of having it!
Today the best way to complete your collection or start a new one if that is your taste in 54mm is going for REPLICA (Andrew Stevens)… I guess this summer he will have completed his move to a new home and quarters… and able to produce sets again. I wish him the best of luck!

In retrospect or with a lot of hindsight Imperialism (of any Century or era… so have a little perspective!… sometimes it was called simply “conquests”) was on the whole a bad thing (specially for the conquered). But if you love your History and know an average about it… inevitable somehow… That produced objectives for Nations (mainly as usual economic) and colourful units when “national” manpower was put to the test and found wanting…
So after a separation from my computer (a long week) here you can have a pic of some Colonial chaps… Enjoy.

Just a pic today… it is self explanation itself of the hobby.

After Mr. Horan outpout… something we all are able to do with a minimum of expertise… well… trial and error included… maybe I am assuming too much… but this is what is all about… FUN with Toy Soldiers!

Those vignettes (as per yesterday post) have tons of nostalgia… and somehow loving Toy Soldiers is just that!

Of course the officer in the left needs to see his optician (not that he is going to ever acknowledge this)… A superb vignette that mixes manufacturers and a great scenery or setting. I found the “atmosphere” a delightful reminder of times gone by… More tomorrow maybe…

I must say I have come very late in my collecting to unusual subjects (Heliograph party is in the offing too!)… but those are particularly well done.
Traditional Toy Soldiers in 54mm of course!

Now and then an original vignette is available… and then I post it matter of fact.

There is a line between the Toy Soldier and the Military Modeling Miniatures… it can be a thin line (if you pardon the pun) sometimes but surely not in this case… fans of John Ford’s Cavalry Trilogy will appreciate…

This is actually my first post with the new format of making a new Post each day (well, if you do not count yesterday’s joke)… I still think the true collecting scale is 54mm… and it will always be for me “the true size” of Toy Soldiers.
