Toy Soldiers 54mm

Lets show a good example of well done and painted “modern” (as opposed to Old) Toy Soldiers… no matter at all if you use them to wargame as in A GENTLEMAN’S WAR rules or just collecting… very well done.

Prussians on the march… Facebook source.

Military Modeling Quality

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…

Fort Apache characters I think by ANDREA MINIATURES… but not sure (Facebook pic)

25mm nice pic

It is a Perry (or FOUNDRY) 25/28mm mini as seen in Facebook…

How a clever scenery can enhance your exposition… I used to have one of those figures but painted with scarlet tunic in my 25/28mm days… lovely stuff from FOUNDRY or PERRY or whatever they are called nowadays. Inspirational.

Just a pic today

I like those tartan trousers! (Facebook source)

Another example of 54mm good painting and “converting” in 54mm.

54mm passion…

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.

Zulu War minis (did I really needed to explain that?) film version of course! (as seen in FB)

A different way to blog

My son, at last, convinced me that it would be easy for me and less of a chore for everyone to check the blog entries. So, we checked it out, he was right (as usual) and I was wrong. So from now on “A Blog (in the proper sense)” will continue in regular new posts as opposed to always editing the same one. Hope you like it!

First of April seemed a very good day to change the format.

French Light Infantry (very lightly clad, but with the plumes in the right place, note the officer with different colour of plume). Not very deadly but quite costly to obtain, very useful to tie up large numbers of Cossacks. 1/1 Scale (Facebook source I guess…)

I guess some of you, in spite of being a Toy Soldier fanatic, have retained a sense of humour.
