Latest painting for a Dorset customer - Parliament and Royalist forces for the English Civil War.

Hi There is a photo for this on the website: thanks Mike

It has been a long time since I've posted an update as I've been really busy with a lot of orders (some quite big). Things have slowed down slightly, so I have managed to get some new releases out and listed. The new Dorset Soldiers releases are: A151 Crescent Nurse kneeling A152 WW2 nurse...

Nice looking diorama - we do a copy of the Britain's one in the Dorset range - fiddly to put together...

I was charged for an advert in issue 250 and as far as I know it appeared as a digital only issue. I cancelled my advertising at that point as I hadn't been told it wsa digital only and I was paying for a physical and digital advret and not receiving what I had been charged for. To be fair...

I am not hold enough to have had Britain's as a kid and I started playing Little Wars in 1974 with Plastic Airfix Napoleonics. Although I am a wargamer and have a large collection of matt varnished 20-25mm wargames figures, I have never seen the appeal of 54mm Matte Toy Soldiers. For me, they...

The new VAT rules don't affect sales to countries outside the EU. If a supplier is VAT registered they can remove the VAT before shipping it to you, and then you pay any local taxes when the package arrives as before Jan 1st. Mike

I understand from the castings reviewer Gary Haines, who has stepped down, that there was to be a new editor of TSC anyway, not sure who though... I guess it will be announced in the new issue. I think TS&MF suffered from going digital - I pulled my advertising after the second digital only...
