Nice dio JW, we have a similar set up with a farmhouse here at TG, I will endeavour to get photos of it taken and post here at some point.

Honestly, these are some of the best figures on the market that I’ve seen since starting about 10 years ago. I started collecting during college and one thing that I’ve noticed that has separated Thomas Gunn figures is the very nice attention to detail on the face, which I feel is very important. I really hope that you come out with more figures from the Boer War.

A+ on your work!

There will be remakes of VW002 & 003 on the delayed Suez canal boat, so not long to go hopefully, in the meantime here are some sneak peeks of some of our forthcoming charging Jocks.
Boer cavalry will follow after these, later this year.

Love, love, love these and will purchase as soon as their released! Also, big fan of the pinned up slouch hats like the 2 from the highlanders. Thanks for the update!

You will need a bigger diorama board!

The Team Miniatures and Thomas Gunn Boer War figures go well together in my view. I also have some older William Britain's figures from a 1999 centenary set plus some Regal Enterprises New Zealand rifles who served in Natal (of course both of these sets do not go as well) but would add diversity to any shelf display. I always look out for TG new releases and rarely miss getting something each month and would hope to pick up a few more Scottish Braveheart's when released.

JD Miniatures did a nice looking Blockhouse and acquiring this would certainly make for a great diorama.

Looking forward to TG's next figure release this month. I suspect a new Panzer but have no idea of what else (don't tell me keep it a surprise!)

I got some Team Miniatures Boer War figures when they first came out as they were the only matt ones around, but then I sold them to buy more TG figures as I thought they were better. The TM figures seemed a bit small to me.
I found this photo. From left to right, TG, WB, TM and Conte

I'm looking forward to the new releases and hoping VW004 & VW007 helmet versions will be out soon

The next TG release will be next week, there has been a delay in Suez but we can announce the releases as we have the photos of the incoming stock.

So in order there will be an aero release tomorrow, Indochina newsletter early next week followed by Mays figures release newsletter end of next week which will include the Panzer 3 and the VW002/003 remakes.

Gunn Miniatures · May 21, 2021

Dear All some pictures of our Boer war farmhouse with the VW002/003 remakes which have had facial and equipment changes plus some have been promoted! Close up pictures available next week in the figure release newsletter.

Absolutely fantastic. Will you be releasing the farmhouse as an Accpak? Or is it just for display? Cant wait to see the next releases
Jas

Gunn Miniatures · May 22, 2021

The Farmhouse was made by Dave at TM Terrain, its not something we can consider commercially as too large for shipping on a mass shipping basis.

However we do have a smaller barricade type diorama accessory piece which can be used for the Boer war coming soon.
