Bob: Utterly fantastic. As always well thought out, plausible and inspiring. You take the art form to a new height. Thank you for sharing. You made my summer. No really. You splice in the right figurines to make the diorama incredibly spot on. Never over the top it is the subtlety that makes it...

Nice figurine Mike...Enjoy. Does not look like we are going to get any Confederate Cavalry. Oh well maybe next year.

Mike: Good stuff...you have taken some of WB's newest rollouts combined them with some existing inventory and given us a great mid July/summer depiction of a plausible ACW occurence albeit in minature. Wish I could join you in the basement....stay cool this week my friend. It is quite ironic...

I am in total agreement that those Confederate infantry figures are the best I have ever seen. I never waiver on my plea to get Matt and his team to do a set of Confederate cavalry both mounted and dismounted and since his focus is on the Gettysburg campaign theme to extol that yes indeed Day 3...

Mail showed up. No Standard... maybe tomorrow. Does not sound like any ACW Confederate Cavalry. Oh well not expecting any until maybe December. Hope WB will come through with some. Conte does not acknowledge that cavalry existed in the ACW with any rollouts. First Legion is struggling since...

Louis: Totally agree with you in regards to the R.E. Lee sculpt. The Stonewall Jackson piece is likewise incredibly well done. When it comes to these renditions I have no quarrel with the figurines being painted gloss. Just an incredible quality they exude. I hope more ACW is in the wings or is...

Hi Noah: I edited down my post...I got off topic. Hope all is well.

To hint a new line is in the works evokes some thought especially if they are to be "German". Could be WWII or Napoleonic. WW1 might be a reach. But if he were to do WW1 Germans I would encourage late war trench raiders armed with broomhandle Mausers, Bergmann MP 18's, clubs and grenades.

If one collects ACW WM Britains you have to join the Collectors Club. I did so this year. My lack of committment last year has cost me and now I fear I'll never be able to obtain one of the Collectors Club offerings from 2010. I continue to search for figurine #50015C, an ACW Dismounted Union...

Al: Gotha=77 feet wingspan, AEG= 60 feet, Bristol F2B= 39 feet, Halberstadt CL lV=35 feet. So the AEG is a third wider than a Brisfit. My point is two seaters add to the look with the fighters but the twin engined types are worth a look too.Just hope that the line expands and is not comprised of...

I'm sure the thrust of future John Jenkins releases will be towards well known period fighter aircraft. Myself I am a bit partial to twin engined bomber types. Two circa 1915-1916 designs really stand out for me as I see them being great examples of the era and today there is still originals of...

Mike: Just the things we converse about that makes your dioramas...these scenarios come to life. It is a careful application of media that is not just the high quality well crafted WB figurines mixed in with some extremely realistic ground work and accessories. You splice in tidbits of various...

I think four or five more troopers to the 1st Va. Cavalry line dismounted would round that Collectors Club into a nice plausible scene on par with last years Union Cavalry officer (I'm still searching for that figurine) and the group that followed.

It is gratifying to see other ACW afficianados chiming in with a desire to see more mounted figures. Yes costs are significanlty higher than stand alone figures but the mounted side of the ACW is a great topic. I have been immersed this afternoon studying the efforts of General Philip Sheridan...

That's good stuff Mike. The 114th PA. Zouaves would be a tremendous augmentation to Federal Regulars and the Iron Brigade. I'm sure the 1st VA. Cavalry figure was not a lone wolf rollout...and that will be really exciting to see a circa 1861 look to that unit in a dismounted setting. I plan on...

Obviously the 2011 rollouts are already in production. Since Richard has touched on 1862 to the next year of presentations for that being in the midst of the 150th anniversary of the ACW I would suggest strongly some mounted ACW Union Cavalry figurines for 2012. Most previous Union depictions in...

Sandor: I'll offer up a thumbnail view and then let the Wisconsinites (Mike, Dave etal) give a more detailed interpretation since they are more infantry oriented and more plugged into the subject than I. Suffice to say that from an 1862 standpoint and Wisconsin it was the year that the famed...

Dave/Mike: I hope you guys can ask Richard if he intends to supplement in the 2nd,3rd or 4th catalog editions that beautiful 2011 Collectors Club figurine, the dismounted 1st Virginia Cavalry trooper, with a release of some supplements (at least four or five) to that piece. It would be a shame...

Brad: Those Confederate infantry dominate the top of the food chain in the world of toy soldiers but at $55 a piece they darn well better be. FL's quality is superb but you pay for that quality. Francisco the same will go for the dismounted Union Cavalry. Too bad Matt ditched the previously...

With the 1st of May tomorrow I thought it would be fun to begin speculation on the next round of WB releases now that Richard has more or less gotten his arms around the conclusion of getting the bulk of the 2010 line onto the market. For starters I am most hopeful that the 2nd of the four...
