    Possible new FIW figures. Better than Jenkins?

    Found these a while back when I was writing an article on sculptors. The guy's name is Tom Meier and he usually works on Fantasy Miniatures - Thunderbolt Mountain is is company. He was a partner at Ral Partha when he was 16. These French and Indian War figures are just for fun (for his kid...

    Excluding the Whaleboat? The whaleboat is the most elaborate and is incredibly detailed BUT I would still have to say the BM06. Why? because it's the perfect diorama set (I still don't have one but...). I usually look for figures that have action to them. Jenkins always does a great job with...

    Great FIW books anyone?

    Is the video worth buying. I've read quite a it on the battle but I'd like to see it in video form if it's worth it? Cheers

    Great FIW books anyone?

    Did anyone know that Bob Bearer put out a video of the Battle On Snowshoes? www.mindlabfilms.com/bos.htm. Looks interesting from the clip they show. Seems in line with When The Forest Ran Red and the PBS documentary War That Made America. Northwest Passage by Kenneth Roberts is of course...

    John Jenkins For Sale

    Please let me know what you have, I'm very interested in picking up some sets as my collection is relatively new and there are a few series I have not got my hands on yet. Cheers, ssorc1

    JJD in January

    I would suggest something that worked well with comic and action figure collectibles... we send John Jenkins a list. This forum must make up some serious and long term customers. Could we not put in a request, as I'm sure as a manufacturer he is planning out his next year as we speak. Most of...

    Great FIW books anyone?

    Sure we all know the movies - Northwest Passage, Last of the Mohicans, Drums Along The Mohawk, Unconquered - mostly based on great books - but does anyone have any other recommendations on French and Indian War books, fiction or non? I have a fairly decent collection but I'm always looking for...

    Imperial Brave Defenders and Storehouse sets

    Sorry. Mistook some of the threads to mean they were stopping production. That's good to hear they are just slowing down a little but not out of production. Smaller shop and slower production seems to be the story. As for the Storehouse. I currently have a buyer interested in the whole set, but...

    Imperial Brave Defenders and Storehouse sets

    A minute's silence for Imperial productions. I had no idea Imperial was shutting down. They made some remarkable toy soldiers and their quality was second to none. I collected this set in Imperial's heyday I suppose. Hate to see it go but I need to make room for Jenkins FIW and a few others...

    New Custom Diorama!!!

    Brilliant. Nice work. What did you use for the grass? Very realistic. Cheers, ssorc1

    War of 1812?

    Might be the smartest thing to collect. 1812 has just as much colour and interest and potential. Not sure how much time Jenkins can put in though with the Jacobites as well? 500 sets is prefect though, that I can agree with. Leaves some room for new collectors to get involved and still be able...

    Jenkins paint of choice?

    Does anyone know what type of paint Jenkins uses on his figures? I'm assuming something like a Vallejo, but the coverage is remarkble and i has an almost oil-based sheen at times? Also he must use a black base colour? Does anyone know. I'd like to do some conversion work at some point, and some...

    Imperial Rorke's Drift Storehouse and defenders

    Hi Nathan, Sorry for the slow reply. I would prefer to sell it as a lot but I am open to offers on the Storehouse as well. Just let me know. I am also open to trades on Jenkins figures. Cheers, ssorc1 (michael)

    War of 1812?

    Battle of Queenston Heights would get me onboard. Always loved this image of the dying General Brock. Canadians, British, Indians & Americans involved. Closest thing to the FIW. Small British/Canadian/Indina force pushes back large American invasion force. Brilliant military upset moment...

    Rorkes Drift set anyone?

    Hey Nathan, My apologies for not responding sooner, just been busy and I forgot for a while that I posted this. I would prefer to sell the items together if I can but I'm not opposed to selling the Storehouse separately. If you want to make me an offer I'd consider it. I'm moving my collection...

    A Well Traveled Path...

    These min-shelf dioramas are absolute brilliance! Something everyone takes a shot at doing - just not nearly as well and with such a high degree of realism. I got very excited at the prospect of a line like this and I certainly hope your expectations are greatly exceeded so that you continue to...

    French & Indian War plans

    Definitely would be sad day if the FIW sets were become less of an attention for Jenkins - some great new figures but just not my periods of interest. I suppose I could then focus on collecting everything FIW of John's and doing some conversion work to keep it interesting. The...

    Mattel's Injector set

    Strange offering but related somehow to anyone of a certain age. I have in my possession a Mattel Cowboy and Indian's Injector set with all the original molds, the injector and even some plasti-goop as they called it. Still works. Put the mold together, heat up the injector and press the melted...
