    MFCA 2025

    We have several dealers who could not make the show because of scheduling conflicts. Our traditional show dates have always had potential to conflict with events like Mothers' Day (this weekend) and college graduations especially. This year, we have 1 graduation; 3 vendors moving, either a...

    Toy Soldiers in Montreal?

    You might want to reach out to the Ontario Model Soldier Society, too: https://www.omss.ca/ I know it's the next province over, but they might know more specifics. Their website lists an email address, and they have a Facebook page, too, if you use Facebook. Prost! Brad

    Upcoming Auction : Large Collection of Britains & Vintage Lead Toy Soldiers (May 6)

    Here's the URL to their website: https://thelodgeauction.com/ And this is the URL for the specific auction: https://thelodgeauction.com/auction/322-may-6th-online/ They've lost points with me by not including that info in the original post. I found it easiest to pull up the auction and then...

    Help Identifying Napoleonic Toy Soldier Set (52 Metal Figures)

    Don't trust the machine. They're not Stadden or Greenwood & Ball, not 54mm, anyway. Are you sure that they're 54mm, or are they smaller? In the photos, they look more like 1/72 scale figures. The bases also look like the bases I've seen on the smaller figures. Maybe take a picture with a...

    Redcoats Displays

    Yes, when they first offered their Seven Years War kits, it was a real bonus. There weren't any other such figures on the market at the time. You had to track down Rose kits or old Staddens. The British and French infantry are nicely sculpted and cast, with crisp detail. And the British...

    Redcoats Displays

    I've always hoped that they'd add more cavalry, especially from the Seven Years War. A British dragoon, light dragoon (like the 15th LD), and Horse Guard would be nice, and a French heavy, a dragoon, and a hussar. There are figures from other brands for those subjects, but it would be nice to...

    Redcoats Displays

    The Tradition kits are really good ones, too. Nicely sculpted and crisply cast, and they paint up well. Prost! Brad

    Monarch Miniatures Roman Civilians

    Hi, Bob! You might want to have a look at Foggy Bottom Miniatures. He is located in New York, but sells through shows here in the East Coast, and through his eBay store...

    Redcoats Displays

    Nice displays, Andreas! I like the 1st Foot Guard especially. I snap those up when I can, for my Seven Years War collection. The hatmen are particularly hard to find. But I'm working towards a company each of musketeers and grenadiers, and as many fifes and drums, and colors, as I can amass...

    Toy Soldier Identification

    Hi, Brad! Art replied that the camels are definitely from Mike and depict the Bikaner Camel Corps. As for the cavalrymen and foot figures, he believes they are Mike's, too, but not completely certain. But along with Tom's ID, I think that's pretty good for an ID. Hope that helps! Prost! Brad

    Toy Soldier Identification

    That could be. I can ask among my fellow MFCA members. I remember that there were some of Mike's toy soldiers up on eBay within the past year or so, and I didn't know he had made them. I asked Art Etchells, who confirmed it. I'll ask him. If you have seen my collection of the Kaiser's Army...

    MLB 2025

    Romano sucks. That's twice now that he's given up runs and threatened a lead. Ray Romano would pitch better than Jordan. Sanchez ("Gooney goo-goo!") had a good start, though. It was fun to have switched over from the MLB channel where they were gushing about LA, to see Sanchez fan Ohtani 3...

    Toy Soldier Identification

    Are they hollowcast or solid, Brad? I think the camel riders depict troopers of the Bikaner Camel Corps. Prost! Other Brad

    MLB 2025

    Should have been 3-1, but Romano choked in a rough relief outing.

    Help requested please ...

    I thought of Fusilier, but a look through their online catalog didn't tun up any WWI Germans with gasmasks, in any pose. Neither has Tommy Atkins, nor Tradition. Sorry! Prost! Brad

    Things that annoy me

    They promise their constituents things they want, tell them things they want to hear. Very often, that includes telling their constituents that Someone Else is responsible for the life they find themselves in. They aren't responsible themselves. That is hard for many to resist, human nature...
