    Sharpe at Christmas

    Enjoy, it is a great read. Similar great read, but in a way opposite to Sharpe, are the Adrian Goldworthy books, these are about Gentleman soldiers who fight in the ranks, as cannot afford to purchase a Commission. Goldsworthy. A True Soldier Gentleman - Book 1 Goldsworthy. A Beat the Drum...

    JJD Advent Calendar 2025

    Thanks for this Julie, much appreciated by a lot of people. Some interesting stuff highlighted, nothing in my sphere of collecting, but can still appreciate them. Looks like a bumper year for the Zulu range and lots of US releases [which is understandable, as biggest TS market, my option, well...

    New Releases for January 2026 - Jacobite Rebellion

    Have we come to the end of the Government troops in this new Jacobite range? I think in the pics i might see another officer? Think there are few more Jacobite sets left, certainly a wounded Jacobite being helped away from the battle, 3 wounded/dying and 2/3 more attacking.

    Rob Reiner and his wife have been murdered, their son has been taken into custody

    You echo what the vast majority of people think, always taught never speak ill of the sick and/or the dead. As there but for the grace of God go us all.

    Rob Reiner and his wife have been murdered, their son has been taken into custody

    Friend had the same, when the child, aged 20, was at home they used to before going to work, make him get up, get dressed and take him to the local park or where ever, after locking the house up, as he could not be trusted in the house not to steal stuff to sell for gambling. In the end they...

    THE BATTLE IN & AROUND ‘LA HAIE SAINTE’

    Incredible, outstanding piece of work. I can imagine some TFrogger buying that at a TS Show and trying to sneak it into the house past their 'other half'. while saying "Yeah, I spent a few bucks".

    JJD Advent Calendar 2025

    Some great stuff, nothing for me yet or signs of a new range, but still interesting. Have my fingers crossed for some WW2, Jacobites, Saxon and/or Viking [know these have been paused.......].. Was thinking about starting the Gladiator range, but have decided more for the settlers and refugee...

    Snow Mat

    Just got the barbed wire sets, 2 of the winter version and a desert one with the shellhole, which works in a D Day beach dio as well. Excellent and can highly recommend.

    Things that annoy me

    Reality shows, especially celebrate reality shows, and a special place in hell for those ‘celebrities’ who appear in a celebrate reality show and they are only in that show as a ‘celebrate’ because they originally appeared in another reality show. Most are talentless air wasters. The...
