    Forum Members Age

    I am 52. Growing up in the late 1970s and 1980s I collected, painted, played with toy soldiers. Half of my collection from those years are in pieces - missing arms, heads, bases, etc. I then took a long hiatus, and I just got back into the hobby in January 2019, and absolutely love to be...

    HIRIART October Delivery

    There are a lot of nice sets here - but my favorite is the Royal Scots Greys band on horseback in winter - tremendously striking. -Squiggle

    Beau Geste sets not on their website?

    I've seen what appear to be pictures of Beau Geste figures that are not listed in the Beau Geste online Complete Catalogue. If I recall, it was Napoleonic figures, and maybe others. Although Beau Geste leaves RETIRED sets on their website, simply marking them retired, perhaps there are sets...

    Do you know anything about Shenandoah Miniatures?

    Thanks to everyone for the leads! I've been following up on the suggested sites. Shenandoah's Facebook site has some gorgeous dioramas. And Obee, your painted work is wonderful! Among my favorites that you posted here are the Zouaves. -Squiggle

    Do you know anything about Shenandoah Miniatures?

    Does anyone know anything about Shenandoah Miniatures? As far as I can gather, they are a cottage-industry outfit in Australia that make, locally, figures of the American Civil War, and seem to produce in classic gloss finish. Is this right? And does anyone have them? If so, a subjective...

    New Mignot! Napoleon's Old Guard

    I just picked up a set of new Mignot figures - Napoleon's Old Guard. Up until now I only have had a couple sets of used Mignot, that are in relatively good shape but decades old. These new ones I just got are painted beautifully; I've found there is a big difference between 'mint' figures that...

    HIRIART Colonial Seaforth Highlanders Firing

    This set hangs together nicely - and the officer and flag-bearer are particularly compelling. Its also nice to see Hiriart get into action figures - I hope they continue in this direction.

    Dio- Bushy Run 1763 (Tommy Atkins)

    This is a really nice set-up! You integrated the forest with the photo backdrop very well - in the photos it all merges together convincingly. I love the figures too; Tommy Atkins does superb Woodland Indians. I think some of the Native Americans and 42nd Highlanders here aren't on their...

    The 'character-driven' toy soldier! What is your favorite unusual figure?

    Wonderful figures here! I've never seen outhouse sets. The airfield is a great diorama; what a good way to remember your uncle! -Squiggle

    The 'character-driven' toy soldier! What is your favorite unusual figure?

    These are three beautiful figures! I really like what you've done with the horses; and I agree, with toy soldiers it is appropriate to indulge in some whimsy! Thanks for posting.
