    An update for my friends!

    I keep hoping that somehow Ken and Ericka will reconsider their positions with W. Britain. I am reluctant to invest in some of the lines of soldiers that I collect with them until I can see the direction the company will go. Just keep thinking about Ericka with the Hudson and Allen Studio and...

    Who murdered Joachim Peiper ?

    It's amazing that someone who was involved with murdering so many people was able to live free at all. He should have been executed for war crimes as his first sentence was passed. Still he was an amazing Officer but was just born and raised on the wrong side of the war. Thanks for posting the...

    An update for my friends!

    Well I do think that this announcement raises more questions than answers. As a long time collector of W. Britains I guess we will all have to wait until the dust settles to see what the new management will look like. I was also under the impression that Ken and Ericka were the owners of W...

    PEGASUS BRIDGE

    It is amazing what a 3D printer can do. I wonder how you would write a program to make these items from scratch. This is going to be an amazing and challenging project. Looking forward to pictures of finish product. Thanks for posting. Howard

    In the Heat of Battle...

    The Photo and diorama capture the intensity of Hand to Hand combat in the Ancient world. Once the 2 armies close the melee becomes uncontrollable and the most disciplined troops usually won. Great photo. Howard

    News Update May 26, 2025 - Armies & Enemies of Ancient Rome

    The Iberians were Hannibal's best shock troops in my opinion. When fighting in wedge formation the Romans had a tough time dealing with them. A great addition to the Carthaginian army and the figures look great. Howard

    Trench sections

    Mike, Your layout looks great. What I did was where the sections did not quite line up I used pieces of Thin card stock and shimmed under the low sections to get them to line up better. Was not perfect but lined up a whole lot better and gave a better appearance in my opinion. Just a suggestion...

    New Releases for June 2025 - Jacobite Rebellion

    In my opinion the Jacobite Highlanders are the best figures that JJD has produced. They are expertly uniformed in their family tartan uniforms with great detail. Howard

    News Update April 28, 2025 - Ancient Rome

    These look great, more Republican Romans for my Carthaginian Elephants to romp on. I especially like the casualty figures to give the diorama more realism. Dioramas of battle scenes with everyone standing and fighting but nobody is injured or down is not realistic. That is just my opinion. Howard

    News Update January 20, 2025 - Ancient Rome

    With all the new releases of the Mid Republican Romans Enemies and allies I hope that he restocks the Mid-Republican Romans because they are getting hard to find. Maybe even some new Mid Republican Roman figures.🤞 Howard

    Tarrifs

    Although I am concerned about Toy Soldier increases my real concern is for Medical Supplies and Pharmaceuticals. We have sent all our know how and manufacturing to China and they have us by the proverbial ying-yang. Hopefully they will knuckle under because we buy 5 to 10 times more imports...

    Mass Grave of Roman Soldiers found in Austria

    Great article, thanks for sharing. The fighting hand to hand at that time was extremely brutal. It is amazing that more mass graves have not been found. Vienna was the scene of many battles through the centuries and has such a rich history. Howard

    British Brown Bess Fire Power: Taking Aim

    Hello Mike, It is so refreshing to see you showcase a diorama other than WWII. Don't get me wrong I love all time periods but the Forum has gotten too WWII heavy and needs more diversification like this article. I am personally a Horse and Musket period fan but my father fought in WWII Pacific...
