Step by step guide.
Something I have tried myself quite recently… modifying ready made casts… it is fun and gratifying. I will not go as far as saying mine are “pieces uniques” but quite original sometimes!
For once this is really FUN!
Enjoy!

Lets have some cavalry from the same author.
Really you can field exotic uniforms of Yeomanry and Volunteers that way, curiously enough THE BATTLE OF DORKING intended as a “depressing and alerting” book is somehow revered by the wargames fraternity as an opportunity to turn the tables on the willy foe! (You need all sorts you know…)
Maybe some more tomorrow. Enjoy.

A picture is worth a thousand words… so be happy you’ll be spared my prose today! 54mm!

You know I am a fan (first the father then the son).
Notoriously difficult tartan… but also the white lace.
Look at the soldier looking sideways to keep alignement!… a very nice touch!
So…
Enjoy!

It’s been a while…
And here it is… the last published pics on Facebook.
The details are superb, cuffs, chevrons, and horse attelage… for once matt finish is to the point!
Enjoy!

Should have said new masterpiece!… really his work is a permanent source of inspiration for everyone to care to look.
By the way… mounted figures in the background would be one day in the near future converted too… for our pleasure…
Enjoy!

I originally posted those Dilley’s pics to pay respect to HRH Queen Elizabeth II (they seemed quite appropiated at the time). Now we moved on but the pics are still here because they are awesome works of art.
After all I was born in 1952 and she has always been there as a Queen (“THE” Queen in fact)… so it is part of my life too!
In 2026 I found a “new” pic that has been added at the end… Line Infantry SIMKIN times.
Outstanding models as usual… and never take this for granted…

Busy days. Not so busy as to do not appreciate the work of Mr. Tony Dilley again, if there is a frontier or red line between Toy Soldiers and Military Modeling Tony walks along it nicely and without apparent effort (just love his work!).
I do not “convert” a lot (a bare minimum in my Toy Soldier collection) and never with that quality of craftsmanship. Have run out of place actually… my cabinets look like the tube in Tokio… considering to put an end to collecting in 54mm for good (see next posts in the following days). I am nowadays only tempted to add 3 or 4 figures by the talented Andrew Stevens from REPLICA if ever bridges can be restored…
Enjoy!

Extensive use of Milliput as you can see in the unpainted figures in the background (shoulder wings etc). 54mm
