    P.g. Highlanders

    If you want some great reference and reasons to collect the series then look no further than these two Youtube videos. If they don't work by clicking below then just go to www.youtube.com and type in Culloden. Cheers, ssorc1...

    What are the Forum members reading

    Civil War novels, The Long Roll, and Cease Firing by Mary Johnston. Can't say enough about this woman. She was the daughter of General Johnston and her narratives of the various battles and the personalities are written like she was there - or like she sat on her dad's knee while he told war...

    My Monongahela diorama

    A standard by which all other will be set. What an amazing collection as well. You sir are a first rate Jenkinsian. You do the figures proud. I noticed a glimpse of the Battle on Snowshoes underneath? Care to share that as well?Cheers.

    Possible new FIW figures. Better than Jenkins?

    Hopefully it becomes a 2009 reality. 40mm or 60mm I'm all for more FIW figures. Especially of this calibre. Not to slander any makers, as to each his own, but between Frontline, Tommy Atkins, Britains, Tradition and Jenkins, there is really no one making figures like Jenkins. It is all personal...

    Jenkins has been a master at choosing battles so far for the FIW - Monongahela, Snowshoes, and even Plains of Abraham - St. Francis was never realized in terms of the actual fight - however a battle like Ticonderoga would still outsell the rest in terms of dedicated FIW collectors. Highlanders...

    What to sculpt buildings with?

    Anyone have any tips on what material to use to sculpt a building? Like the JG Miniatures, or K&C items. If I wanted to create a stockade, or a bombed out building, breastworks or a terrain, what is the best material? Are all the basic materials still useful, like Sculpy etc.? Do you use a...

    Revised JJD "POA" for Sale

    Hey Andy, You should be receiving my payment for the BM sets early next week. Post office said 5 business days at the most. I still may be interested in these POA figures. If they don't sell by the end of the month just send me an email. My only hesitation is the current exchange rate - which...

    The most popular "would be" (and is also a hint to Jenkins) is a set of Highlanders charging at Ticonderoga. Some charging, falling wounded and cutting through the abbatis. He's halfway there with the Jacobites? BM06 is still 'the bomb' but I would have to agree with the personality figure...

    Possible new FIW figures. Better than Jenkins?

    Always worth a shot. According to his blog, we know moulds for these three exist. His response to getting any toy line done is, money. Still say if he had money and interest he might get inspired. Figures with tis level of sculpting quality would prove to be very popular, wheter at 54mm, 60mm or...

    Possible new FIW figures. Better than Jenkins?

    I agree. I actually contacted Tom (connected with is wife first) about an article I was doing on sculptors in the hobby. I used to collect and paint 25mm-40mm as well, even the fantasy ones, and his work has always been outstanding. Genius is right. His blog does mention the FIW figures going...

    Possible new FIW figures. Better than Jenkins?

    I would personally love to see this series happen. I had a very quick conversation around the commissioned work idea and he seems into it as long as time and money are allowable to him. I've frankly always wanted to start a line of figures, especially of the French and Indian War but then...

    Possible new FIW figures. Better than Jenkins?

    He seems to be a very private, introverted guy (can't say as I blame him), but I did make contact to him through his wife Carin at this address. This is the Thunderbolt Mountain address which is his fantasy miniatures company - Email: info@thunderboltmountain.com. I agree a 40mmset would be...

    Possible new FIW figures. Better than Jenkins?

    Some additional details on the 'Ranger' figure. I've read on his blog recently that these may make production - not sure what scale though as yet. I was in conversation with him a while ago to see if they were to be a possibility, and at the time they were just in his workshop as a fun sideline...

    POssible new FIW. Indian detail.

    This guy is named Tom Meier. Used to be a partner in Ral Partha. The previous post gives his details and other images - usually does fantasy miniatures in 30mm. These aren't much bigger at 35mm. Would make an amazing 54mm set. Cheers.

    JJD Chippewa sets for sale

    Hi, I'm very interested in the sets. When you say lots are you referring to the two sets for the price listed? So BCH01 and BCH02 are $85 in total? Just a little confused. Do you have a Paypal account? Cheers, ssorc1

    POssible new FIW. Indian detail.

    Does it get any better than this. This is 35mm. Wow. A series of these at 1/30 or so would outdo any collection to date. He apparently is attempting to turn this into a manufactured set. Can't wait. Cheers.

    The Death of General Wolfe is still a noble choice for number 1. Cheers.
