hi Lancer, Referring to my previous post on this topic, I have also penned an article on the Fetterman Massacre which as you are no doubt aware was 10 years before the Little Big Horn and Custer debacle, for TSC magazine, but alas there are currently no figures in production to help illustrate...

Hi Reb, This is a subject very dear to my heart. I have been arguing for a number of years that this area of military history is one that is un represented almost totally ignored by today's toy soldier manufacturers. It was though refereshing to see Wm. Hocker showcase a new range of figures at...

Hi Konrad, Now starting to get withdrawal symptoms, so any idea when you are expecting another parcel from John with the latest additions to your British Empire collection. Very intrigued to see the 2 piece mounted set that you alluded to in your last post. Kind Regards Martin

Hi Dave, didn't want to cause any problems and I agree that it would be great to discuss ATS and their figure range in more detail. As can be seen by trooper's reponse there should be other Treefroggers who also share the same views. Perhaps if there is enough interest ATS could have its own...

Hi Raymond, I may have missed something here, but I am totally at a loss to know why you have posted a photo of a cavalry General form the Battle of Waterloo in a thread that is very much concerned with the Charge of the Light Brigade. The only relevant/consistent bit of information is that the...

hi Konrad, Well the latest addition to your British Empire collection was worth waiting for. A truly magnificient example of the mounted figure. John has done a marvellous job of capturing the spirit of this individual's mount. That superior air that all horses with Arab blood is beautifully...

Hi Dave, If you want mounted cavalry from the Crimean War then check out the ATS website at www.ats-uk.net. They have produced mounted figures of all the personalities from the Charge of the Light Brigade together with those of the Heavies. In addition to this they have also released examples...

I can only echo what John has said about this range of figures. In the few years that I have know John he has very kindly made and painted for me a few mounted ACW cavalry figures that have combined the best of Shenandoah and Imrie Risley parts that when put together and with John's undoubted...

hi Konrad, Thank you for your very prompt up date. Your will power is obviously stronger than mine would be. How can you not open it before Christmas Eve knowing that there is another 3quality figures inside from John. Mind you having said that I have got a christmas parcel from John O'Brien in...

Hi Konrad, I know that it is not very long since you unveiled the results of your most recent collaboration with John, but I was just wondering if you have received anymore additions to your British Empire collection yet? Can't wait to see the next mounted example that you have commmissioned...

Hi 999th, I don't suppose you got any photos at the ATS stand of their excellent napoleonic, acw and crimean cavalry by any chance. Regards Martin

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the great quality photos of Lt.Legion and ATS stands. I bought the other 3 mounted troopers of the 17th Lancers in the Crimean 1854 on walking horses. Should have had all 4 as the one remaining looks pretty lost without his comrades!! There was some really interesting new...

Hi Gebhard, Can I just make a correction to what has been posted re ATS and their line of napoleonic figures. I don't think for one minute that John was suggesting that ATS figures should be repainted. More that if you want your figures to be that little more realistic then rather than gloss you...

Hi Jeff, Although I'll be attending the December show, it is always good to see photos afterwards of all those figures/sets that you wished you had been able to purchase. So I would like to see lots of photos of mounted cavalry from ATS, Lt.Legion, First Legion, Graham Moullard, Asset and Sarum...

Hi Konrad, As someone who has a leaning towards cavalry figures and all things equestrian related in my own collection, this example of a mounted female of the nursing first aid yeomanry from 1907 is truly outstanding! The texture and feeling of movement that John is able to achieve just with a...

hi John, Noticed that you are online. Have you checked your email recently as I have replied to your latest post and would be glad to know what you think about my suggestions. Regards Martin

hi Konrad, have really enjoyed the illustrated progress of Jeff's painting exploits on these excellent figures. I have though enjoyed also the extracts from your book which shows the cavalry paintings of Rousselot and the variations in uniforms etc and I was rather looking forward to more to...

Had to vote for ATS as thy were my re-introduction to the hobby towards the end of 2005. Since then I have bought a number of ATS glossy mounted figures both ACW and Napoleonic from their catalogue as well as specially commissioned items so it was a very easy choice for me. I do however...

Hi Konrad, Given your interest in camp scenes and the fact that you should be able to upload an album of such figures shortly, I don't suppose that you are the colector that has commissioned a number of such sets from Nik at ATS are you? If you are I can vouch for the fact that they are very...

Just treated myself to a copy of An Illustrated History of the "Armies of the Napoleonic Wars" by Chris McNab and published by Osprey. Havent really got round to reading it yet, but at first glance the text seems to be very informative covering all of the forces involved be they large or small...
