For me, it was my best show so far so I was happy! Running any kind of event in Central London is an expensive and difficult balance between cost and viability. I am grateful that Guideline were able to find a central venue that makes the show still work. I don't think constant sniping at the...

He was there taking video so I assume he will post soon... Mike

I have updated the Dorset Model Soldiers Website with the latest casting list dated November 2019 as the one previously listed was several years out of date and missing a lot of the later items...

Great look forward to it - still knee deep in stock boxes loading it all onto shelves at the moment - but the end is in sight!

We drove a 3.5 ton Luton van down to Portland and back yesterday to pick up the Dorset Model Soldiers moulds, stock, etc. 4 hours to pack the van with 5 of us and we still didn't manage to fit everything in! Hopefully going back in a couple of weeks with a smaller van to pick up the master...

I will be there in December with the usual stand and hopefully some Dorset Model Soldiers stuff as well depending how much I get sorted between next Friday and the show. Please come and say hello Mike

I'm 56 and seeem to be collecting Toy Soldier COMPANIES...:)

I am really sorry to hear that - John was very supportive when I started Imperial Miniatures and brought out sets from AQM. Mike

Press Release about the purchase of Dorset below. It is going to be a large amount of work to get this up and running and fit everything in the workshop/house but I am looking forward to it. DORSET MODEL SOLDIERS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT We are pleased to announce that as of 15th November...

We are pleased to announce that as of 15th November 2019 Imperial Miniatures are the new owners of Dorset Model Soldiers, the well known supplier of Toy Soldier Spares and model soldiers based in Portland, Dorset. We have bought the company from Andy Gibbs, who bought Dorset from the original...

I believe that the majority of objections to the campaign were when they introduced a series of lapel pins with swastikas on them as stretch goals rather than the actual main campaign models themselves. Mike

I have been a little slow in updates to the website due to some health problems involving a couple of hospital visits for tests and a death in the close family. Getting back to it now, and I've added a couple more bands... TB16 Royal Marine Light Infantry and the TB17-23 Royal Scots Greys...

That is the French Command set from the Foundry Miniature Franco-Prussian Range. Very nicely painted and arranged. it is, coincidently, on my painting table at the moment...

Thanks for that, but it is more a business discussion I want to have with the owner...

Thanks But that is the same number and contact as the website- slightly frustrating that you can't eave a voicemail message on the phone...

Has anyone got any contact details for the new owner of Dorset Models apart from through the website? Many thanks Mike

I used to do 8-10 wargames shows a year when I made wargames figures and they were always profitable. But even then, I found my takings were static for the last 10 years I did them - my prices went up, costs went up but takings stayed still. To match the criteria that I used for wargames shows...

I didn't manage to get there in 2018. This year there was only me and GNM as manufacturers and Replica Models... Everyone else was a dealer selling mostly Britains and secondhand toys and collectables. People were buying but not in huge amounts. I do wonder if it is advertised enough? I...

I did as a trader. I was quite quiet after an initial rush in the moning and had gone completely dead by 1pm.. We packed up (along with everyone else) at 2pm...
