Nat Sooy’s Collection

Talk about old friends and their coleections… I coul not post them before because he was too shy to show since recently!… awesome collection IMHO.

Enjoy!

Did not cadre the pic… they are as they were published on Facebook.

All wargames deserve due RESPECT! (Steve Snark’s Own as seen in facebook)

Do not tell me this Post is childish because it isn’t… wonderful Fortification or Castle (what you prefer), nice Toy Soldiers… and a PURPOSE!

Yes, the British are attacking the Russians!… it smacks of the Crimean war (War was War back then.. you know!)

How can you play (unashamedly) with Toy Sodiers…

Enjoy!

Sudanese Colonial Troops. British Bulldog Series by Roberto Lodoli 54mm

I have a passion for colonial affairs in my fantasy world (because In the real world I think Imperialism was wrong… mind probably inevitable in context and I mean historically… but definitely wrong on the whole approach of white man supremacy… LOL… I do not know why I have to include my private opinions in this Blog at all!)… pros and cons aside… there was colourful troops and little actions who deserve attention if you are a wargamer in 54MM or whatever scale.

Find this setting and troops delightful even if some need a bit of repair (that prone figure with broken rifle hurts my eyes).

Enjoy!

Dave Mitchel’s Diorama (ISANDLWANA)

It has been a while since I first saw this pics from an awesome diorama.

I have been delaying getting into it and making a Post because in a way it is so much Military Modeling and sculpting that the term Toy Soldier did not seem to apply to it.

After much reflection I decided to make a Post… it deserves it in spades.

There are no comments on the five pics… they are self explanatory I guess.

Enjoy!

Paul Griffith’s Own

I do not know how to contact him myself (I guess that a search on Facebook or Google will do the trick…

But those boxes of Toy Soldiers are very nice… Mignot influenced he says… whatever… just my thing (if I was Napoleonic inclined again)

Enjoy!

DISPLAY of ALAN HARRISON’S Toy Soldiers

Alan Harrison’s beautiful (and magnificent) Collection!

Those cabinets are very similar to mine but they include vintage Toy Soldiers by Lucotte and other niceties I can not afford… also is much more bigger a collection than mine… Congratulations!

Enjoy!

Mr. Keith R. Smith’s Collection (Mainly Britains collected over 70 years)

What a magnificent Collection!… and well displayed!… probably it would have been my kind of collection if I would have been born in the UK (LOL).

Seriously all the Toy Soldiers are my kind of minis.

A big tumbs up!

Enjoy!

Francesco Marchiandi’s Display.

A pity the flash reflected on the building… but otherwise a very nice picture.

The Dutch Grenadiers of the Guard would have a tragic campaign history… but you all know that. Nice uniform but not a great record… Iconography has dwelt upon some units a lot of attention…

Enjoy!

Bill Horan’s Own 2023

I am an admirer of his work. Military Modeling at it’s BEST!

Those around FILADELFIA (Philly) can see them for themselves in the near future! If I have understood alright.

Enjoy the craftsmanship.

The Guards Colours in the Crimean War… (Won Best Historical 2023 in Philly!)

Graham Marshall’s Local Library Toy Soldiers Display

Lovely display!… For once the collector has more soldiers than me! (Only kidding… never thought on having such vast numbers of Household Cavalry!) by contrast my RHA teams are more complete (life has those turns…)… to do not mention the Foot Guards… even if I suspect NOT his whole collection in the pics.

Never thought for a second to let mine be displayed outside of my Home&Castle… if you know what I mean…

A great Idea.

Enjoy!
