I discovered these custom WW2 Playmobil soldiers on this Treefrog forum. Jeff Frank makes these. They're amazing and something I had wished for a long time.

Didn't know where else to post this. I started rewatching Band of Brothers on the U.S. Memorial Day and just finished. Figured I'd draw a few portraits from the airfield scene.

Nothing out of the ordinary about these three soldiers, other than they were my first three painted metal soldiers I purchased at the Annandale, Virginia - Heart of the South toy soldier show in September 2021. Purchased from the Treefrog table. Until then, I had only collected plastic soldiers...

Finally got my set of Somali Militia men for the Blackhawk Down Series. Fantastic.

An army buddy of mine started this podcast. 15 minute episodes going back to the basics first about military tactics, strategy and doctrine, and then getting into specific battles and leadership. I really like the shorter episodes so you can knock out one, or listen to multiple if you have the...

Curious if anyone else had collected these? I've been wanting to do this set up for awhile.

Finally put them in some scenery.

Been wanting to do this for awhile. Took some branches and leaves from the yard, some sand and clay for a fall/winter forest scene.

Well, I had this elaborate plan to build foam base boards with fox holes, paint the downed trees and longs and paint shell craters into the foam, but then realized I only had 24 hours before our cat came home after we got home from vacation. So I had to work fast and furious and simply used...

Went to Heart of the South Toy Soldier show in Annandale, Virginia last weekend and scored some Battle of the Bulge sets.

This was fun. Andy - I'm ready for Waves 4, 5, 6... :-)

Finally unpacked and quickly set up my second wave of BHD figures. Love these.

A lieutenant with a map. The sun was coming into my garage as I was setting this up.

Just a random patrol. I served in the 3rd ID while at Ft. Benning (93-96). We reflagged from the 24th ID. Purchased both of these from the Annandale, Virginia - Heart of the South Toy Soldier show which is held quarterly. Next one is scheduled for this weekend.

When I was only collecting plastic, and well before I purchased any painted metal miniatures, I did purchase the Bloody Omaha Signature Series from Conte, to complete the entire D-Day Omaha Beach set. Glad I did. An outstanding set.

Looking forward to adding the new additions.

My current 54th Massachusetts Regiment. Need to combine with my Shenandoah glossies.

Picked these up several years ago. Need to combine with my John Jenkins collection.

Other than the 4 pack from Figarti, do any manufacturers make African American US Soldiers from WW2 Europe? Need some that are fighting. Thanks in advance.

These were just released by Reis O'Brien, a veteran of the toy industry. Reis designed his own toy soldiers - kids like you and me, armed with sticks and pots and pans for helmets like when we were kids. Great sculpts and details. Check them out at www.backyardbattalion.com - $15 per pack -...
