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...

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

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...

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

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...

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...

Looking for a "reasonably" priced BM06 and RR01 set. Would just like to finish my Monongahela and Snowshoes series. Cheers, ssorc1:D

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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)

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...

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...

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...

Love the pics Capitolron! Nice collection. I envy you. Cheers, ssorc1

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...

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...
