Cannot beat the Frog. Consistently excellent through a couple of ownership changes. Julie is great, as Shannon was before her.

I have been waiting over a year for some of the Clash of Empire figures that I pre-ordered :(. Still, I think WB has upped their game in terms of the quality of what they produce, but in the future I will only purchase items that actually exist. Mike

I purchased three sets of the 60th Regiment of Foot skirmishing, and one of them contained a Golden Ticket. So now I have some woodland Indians to skirmish with them. What a generous promotion! http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/images/Product/medium/CAN-04B.jpg Mike

My wife and I visited on August 26 and also got the "executive tour" from Ken, Erika, and Ted. I don't know how they can continue to be productive if they devote so much time to each visitor. Sooner or later I am sure they will have to lock the door! ^&grin Mike

How very disappointing. :( John Jenkins has 60th regiment figures, but I do not like them as much. I think Ken Osen told me that he was thinking of producing figures of this regiment, but don't quote me on that. Mike

Ray, Thanks for the detective work. And now, I have two questions. First, is the figure that Brad found on Ebay in your catalogue? Second, would you be able to post pictures from the catalogue so we could see the other figures in this range? Mike

There is lots of stuff on that site. I looked through quite a bit of it but did not find anything to match. Still, it was certainly worth a peek, and I did find the sources for some of the other figures I have. Thanks for the hint, Scott. Mike

Me too. I guess this is a better puzzle than I thought it would be. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions. Mike

I agree that native American figures can fit both F&I and AWI themes. And the same figures could be used to populate two other empire clashes that fit between these major conflicts--Pontiac's Rebellion of 1763 and Lord Dunmore's War of 1774. I would especially like to see the Battle of Point...

I was rummaging through some stuff I had not looked at for a few years, and I came across these medieval men-at-arms figures. They may have been my very first eBay purchase some fifteen or sixteen years ago. The weapons are missing, and so are the bases, but I still think they would look...

I go to Indy every year--it scratches my toy soldier itch between OTSNs. I loved the new site last year, and look forward to this year's event. What I like best is the intimate atmosphere. The show is small enough that I can get around to every dealer several times. See you all there.

Turning to a different subject, what paint (or technique) would I use to simulate a mirror?

Great discussion! Now, here is another wrinkle on this question. Years ago Ron Barzso used to create metal versions of his Rogers Rangers and woodland Indian figures, and I have quite of few of them in my collection. I purchased them from Ron himself, or from collectors who had bought from...

OK, I think I've got this picture thing figured out.

Brad, Thanks for the information. I appreciate the help and will follow-up with Nevinsrip as you suggest. Mike

Does anyone have information about this manufacturer? I am particularly interested in castings from the Muskets and Mohawks series, centering on the French and Indian War. I have three of the Native American figures that I have painted, but would like to find more somewhere, somehow. (I am...

It's a good thing I logged in to this thread--I have been going to the Indy show for years and didn't know the site had changed. I guess I should have read Barry Carter's postcard:o I like this show because I don't feel I have to rush to get to see everything.

For those of you in the midwest who need a toy soldier fix, the 21st Indy Toy Soldier show will be held on Sunday, April 18, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (EST). The show will be held at the Sheraton Inn North, 8787 Keystone Crossing, Indianapolis, Indiana. I have attended this show for almost all...

I was in a hobby store recently that catered to train officianados and saw some panoramas that measured 38 inches long and 13 inches high. Many had city scenes, but there were some with only natural background, and some with clouds only. They sell for about $12.00 each. Here is the link for...

Thanks for the update. I had not looked at the Conte site for awhile and you are right--there are "single color" sets (what I called unpainted, but in fact they have a base coat) of Alamo defenders, Civil War figures, Normans, Vikings and World War II available. Still no AWI or Rogers' Rangers...
