Careful, there was a fuss when I mentioned the Hocker Trump Regime sets a few years ago.{eek3}

Wade followed the Britains Ltd convention of one officer and seven other ranks in a standard infantry set. Below is a partial scan of the Nostalgia brochure with your guys. They are the third and fourth figures from the left. The brochure only showed the different figure types for each set, and...

He's from the "N" range, sold as individual figures, and all fixed-arm. 5N Cowboy (on Foot), with Pistol. Info from the 1940 Britains Catalogue.

They are a Nostalgia set, issued by Shamus OD Wade back in the 1970s. https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/...-Figures/page2 See two photos in first post in the thread. I dug up a Nostalgia catalogue. This is set N147 Mosquito Indians, c1845. Figures designed by Andrew Rose. Figures in that...

I dug up a Nostalgia catalogue. This is set N147 Mosquito Indians, c1845. Figures designed by Andrew Rose. Figures in that particular catalogue were produced between August 1975 and December 1977.

Nostalgia. https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/showthread.php?5141-Shamus-Wade-s-Nostalgia-Figures/page2 See two photos in first post in the thread. (This inquiry should be in the Glossy Figures section.)

Hi Victor, I'll say what I can about the figures based on these photos. The horse pose descriptions are the accepted collectors' terms for the poses. Top pic: Nose of trotting horse, two troopers on trotting horses, one trooper on walking horse. The rotting horse was only used for set 32 Scots...

Victor, the horse on the right in your picture is in what's referred to as the 'cantering' pose. It was used for the Scots Greys officer starting in 1953. Prior to then, the officer was on the same horse as the troopers, the walking pose, and was distinguished by gold painted uniform details...

Hi again, Victor. This site shows a matched 1953 version set 32 with "long-rein" walking horses. Paint style is correct (grey sprayed over white) for the version; box, as noted, is not. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/britains-set-32-royal-scots-greys-2nd-1830596972

Hi Victor. Bill Hocker explains how he makes the moveable cavalry arms here: https://wmhocker.com/index.php?s=profile Scroll down to the 1991/92 interview. Yes, those are the 3 Scots Greys horse types - walking, trotting, and cantering. Pre 1953, they were all on the walking horse, the...

Maybe Hanks? Just found these in a past C&T auction: https://bid.candtauctions.co.uk/m/lot-details/index/catalog/84/lot/26348?url=%2Fm%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F84%3Fpage%3D5 James Opie does the IDs on toy soldiers for this auction site, so I trust his call. Hanks was one of the main...

The postillions' whips are fine. Britains used two types of arms, whips up and whips down. For their military teams, they'd mix the pose. For some reason, on the State Coach set, it was always all one way or the other. I have pictures of both styles in my Britains image file.

Try Andrew at Replica Metal Soldiers (https://www.facebook.com/Figures.Replicametalsoldiers). He was doing recasts of B and W series figures for Johnnybach. Andrew's a fellow Treefrogger, but hasn't been on the Forum lately. He posts as Sandhurst39.

They certainly resemble Britains set B1, as seen here: https://sites.google.com/view/britainsbscalesoldiers/home The plume colour is wrong for the Life Guards, but would be OK for Dragoon Guards. I couldn't find anything in Joplin's Great Book that was close. I would expect them to be marked...

Found this via Google: https://www.marines.mil/News/News-Display/Article/1396481/mcrc-unveils-three-iconic-battles-won-sculptures/

I'm using Chrome on Mac OS X 10.10, no issues.

Thanks for making me aware of this company. Marvellous caricature-style sculpts - better than Sanderson's (IMHO), equal to Tim Richards', with the sense of humour of common to both. As far as finding a painter, how about trying a local wargaming group? There are young painters in those clubs...

Is the TS secondary market dynamic enough to make NFTization of the hobby worthwhile?

There's a "public" Facebook group (anyone can see the posts) dedicated to Britains Swoppets that also has a lot of content and info about every other company's version of the idea, especially Timpo's output. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2354232644805641

It's a Crescent fireman. It should be hollowcast to be an original figure. There's a (typically very overpriced, IMHO) example for sale on the Lilliput World website, in their "Uniform" section. This commercial site is great for detailed, all-angle photos of items that they are selling...
