Unfortunately I am working with what existed when I took over Dorset which means that there are no decent pictures of the painted sets in a large enough size for a modern website or I would use them... I would love to have a decent picture for every set and eventually I hope to, but that will...

Closed Until September 2020 Due to (an inevitable) rush of orders in the last week, I have decided to close a week early to new orders so I can process the current ones before August. As a Reminder: I have decided to close the Imperial Miniatures and Dorset Model Soldiers websites to...
