Oh that I could, Harold! The process just didn't sustain itself reliably. That doesn't mean it won't work -- Fortress Figures casts Ron Barzso's stuff in resin by spincasting -- I just got stymied by the process' many hurdles, when metal is much more straightforward and consistent (as you know)...

Hey, guys! Hope you don't mind this post. I really wanted to get the word out! All the King's Men is pleased to announce that we now have some plastic versions of our AWI figures, all painted! As you may know, we have previously offered unpainted metal figures -- and we still do. There's a...

Thanks about the cavalry appearance! I'm in the process of sending pics and words about these new Brits to both TSC and TS&MF. Ken

I'm still white-priming, which for me means painting in blocks and then following up with washes. I then follow all that up with a fine-tipped pen for the lining. I have yet to come to grips with black priming and painting up to cracks and crevices, but stopping. That just seems counterintuitive...

Thanks for your kind words, Brad and Bryan! I'm pretty happy with these new releases. The highland soldier might be used for F&I War as well. I confess I haven't looked too closely. I have heard it suggested that he could be used as a ranger from that period. The painted figures are by me. I'm...

Folks, I'd just like to announce that All the King's Men Toy Soldiers has released 4 sets of British troops for the American Revolution. They include: Infantry in winters gaiters Highlanders in gaiter-trousers and tams (late war) Light infantry in peaked caps Artillery A couple pics are...

It's a primarily a wargame show, but the differences between that and toy soldiers are semantic. Lots of great ways to play with your collection, and loads of vendors selling items in many scales, many of which can be used with 54s. IIRC, 54mm dealers like ATKM attend, such as Hobby Bunker, MTS...

Hey, Brad! We won't be at those shows, but we will be at Fall-In in Gettysburg, Nov 7-9. We just added this show to our roster. Here's the URL: fall-in.org Ken

Hey, guys! I'm sorry to write that All the King's Men Toy Soldiers (www.allthekingsmentoysoldiers.com) won't be able to make OTSN this year. Circumstances put us in Florida at the same time, which I am spinning into attending Hurricon, instead: http://hmgs-south.com/hurricon082.htm If you...

Hey, Brad! Actually we already include a trumpeter in each set. You get 6 troopers with sabers at rest, an officer with sword outstretched, and a trumpeter. We include an extra arm with saber at rest in case you want to convert it into a guidon-bearer's. It'd be an easy fix. Just nip off the...

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I'm not sure how the riders would look on TSSD horses. TSSD figs run somewhat larger than ours. I'll have to take a closer look. Ken

Well, the day my wife Gina and I have been working toward is here! Our brand-new cavalry for the American War of Independence is now available -- seven different regiments' worth. You can see them all on the All the King's Men website. In fact, there are a few pages showcasing the new troops...

Youngster, Check out the Continental Light Infantry here, about halfway down the page: http://www.allthekingsmentoysoldiers.com/ They're pretty close to PA troops and could do double duty as line troops. Ken

Okay, the show is still online. Turns out the website had been down since November, and has since moved. The new URL is: http://www.atlantafigures.com/

Gents, Anyone had any word on Feb 2008's toy soldier show in Atlanta? The website is down and my email contact for it bounces. His phone number is perpetually on "busy." News? Rumors? Ken Cliffe

Sorry for the delay in responding to you, Vampire. The best I have to offer regarding painting guides for the Hessians and Continentals is the home page on the All the King's Men site. There are lots of painted images here: http://www.allthekingsmentoysoldiers.com Otherwise, I suggest the...

Thanks for your support, Vampire. Glad you like the figures. Let me know if I can help you out with any others, or if you just want to talk the hobby. Ken ATKM

Just wanted to write with a follow-up report on last weekend's Chicago toy soldier convention, the biggest of its kind in the US. The show was officially on Sunday the 23rd, but vendors and customers show up days in advance and sell wares from hotel rooms at the Schaumburg Hyatt. All the King's...

"The Chicago Show," also known as the Old Toy Soldier Show is Sunday September 23rd at the Schaumburg Hyatt. It's the biggest toy soldier show in North America, and has the added treat of early room selling. Dealers show up days in advance of the actual convention to sell toy soldiers from their...
