Latest painting for a Dorset customer - Parliament and Royalist forces for the English Civil War.

Hi There is a photo for this on the website: thanks Mike

It has been a long time since I've posted an update as I've been really busy with a lot of orders (some quite big). Things have slowed down slightly, so I have managed to get some new releases out and listed. The new Dorset Soldiers releases are: A151 Crescent Nurse kneeling A152 WW2 nurse...

Nice looking diorama - we do a copy of the Britain's one in the Dorset range - fiddly to put together...

I was charged for an advert in issue 250 and as far as I know it appeared as a digital only issue. I cancelled my advertising at that point as I hadn't been told it wsa digital only and I was paying for a physical and digital advret and not receiving what I had been charged for. To be fair...

Plastic Warrior covering plastic soldiers is still published as well. It is something we are seeing in other hobbies as magazine content moves online and things you would have read about in a magazine are now on blogs or youtube... I still think you can't beat a glossily printed magazine... Mike

I am not hold enough to have had Britain's as a kid and I started playing Little Wars in 1974 with Plastic Airfix Napoleonics. Although I am a wargamer and have a large collection of matt varnished 20-25mm wargames figures, I have never seen the appeal of 54mm Matte Toy Soldiers. For me, they...

The new VAT rules don't affect sales to countries outside the EU. If a supplier is VAT registered they can remove the VAT before shipping it to you, and then you pay any local taxes when the package arrives as before Jan 1st. Mike

I understand from the castings reviewer Gary Haines, who has stepped down, that there was to be a new editor of TSC anyway, not sure who though... I guess it will be announced in the new issue. I think TS&MF suffered from going digital - I pulled my advertising after the second digital only...

I've just seen the announcement on the Guideline publications website that they've acquired Toy Soldier and Model Figure magazine from Ashdown... What what it'll mean with both magazines under the same publisher? Mike

As of 1st January, anyone selling to the UK must charge UK VAT to their customer and then remit that to HMRC. Hence the 20% charge. This is an EU wide rules that the EU have delayed until July 1st for implementation. Mike
