Two more came in today. What a surprise! The USPS tracking showed expected delivery on Monday. But, when standing in my front yard today, suddenly a USPS truck drove up and handed over a little package to me, coming in from Treefrog :smile2: The latest additions for the JJD Conquest of America...

My initial thought too, Brad, but I kept my preorder anyway. Now I’m happy since reading the various postings and seeing the Osprey color plates. Hard to tell from the promotional picture, but I really hope that the “beard” is just painted on. Konrad

I’m late, but nevertheless a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, Julie 👍 Hope you’re having a great day and enjoy the celebrating with family and friends. If there was anything Toy Soldiers related among your gifts, let us know 😉 Konrad

Got my next two figures of the JJD Conquest of America line. Crossbow man and Arquebus man. Very nice 👍 😉

He must be a very high ranking General who was allowed such an individual hairstyle 😉

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mike! Have a great day and enjoy the celebrating with friends and family. Cheers! Konrad

Ditto 😉 Konrad

Any word yet about winning entries for this caption contest? The closing of the contest is about 2 months ago now. Curious to hear what forum members made it? ^&grin Konrad

I received the CQH-03 Spanish Cavalryman today. What a fine figure this is. Beautifully sculpted and a great quality of painting. And rest assured that it does look a lot better in hand than on the promotional pictures :wink2::smile2: You get this figure, you will not be disappointed. Top job...

Today I received the John Jenkins Designs CQH-03 Spanish Cavalryman from his Conquest of America Line. A very nice figure, and in my opinion a couple notches up in sculpting and painting quality. The best mounted figure I have yet seen from John. So very happy with the purchase and, of course...

I totally agree, Mark. Saw the Drums Along The Mohawk figures at the MFCA show last March, and the sculpting sure is on a most advanced level. Whatever John will be releasing in the future, I rest assured it will be top quality. It’s an exciting time for JJD collectors 😉 Konrad

I’m committed to the Conquest of America line, like all in 😉 But depending on the prices of monthly releases, there’s a little extra allowance 😀 So, while I’m not looking at this new line for completeness, most certainly there will be figures which will be “must haves” 😁, starting with the...

Hi Zach, Gebhard is correct. The Tradition figure represents the Buergermeister (mayor) of the Bavarian City Rothenburg ob der Tauber during the 30 Years War. As the story goes, the City was besieged by the Imperial Army under Genera Tilly. The City’s council was condemned to death and the City...

Happy Birthday, Mark! Hope it was/is a great day for you and you enjoy the celebrating with friends and family and that there was a Toy Soldier or two for you 😉 Konrad

Happy Birthday, Mark. Hope it was/is a great day and you enjoy the celebrating with friends and family, and that there was a Toy Soldier or two for you 😉 Konrad

Happy Birthday Howard, Have great day and enjoy celebrating with friends and family! Konrad

I never watched the Apocalypto movie, but looked it up just now on YouTube. Scene called the “Spanish Arrival”. You see the Ships in the background and 3 boats approaching the shore. Yes, that’s exactly the kind of boat I had in mind. One like that would be quite a treat. Konrad

A boat, a row boat, with a Spanish landing party of 6 to 8 would really hit the spot for me :wink2: Konrad

Yep, a real pain it is. Got to be so careful. I deleted that email earlier today. Konrad

That mounted Conquistador is wonderful. Ordered! ^&grin Konrad
