Hello Collectors!


Our main launch products this month are the Gatling gun in the Spanish-American War and the 71st NY Volunteer Infantry. The release is also a complement to the previous release of the US Soldiers. We will officially publish Algerian Soldiers in the Franco-Prussian War next month, because there are still many collectors following the Franco-Prussian War series. We will also have Prussian Cuirassiers, French Cuirassiers, French Guard Grenadiers and French Chasseurs in the future.


Thank you all for your continuous attention and support to our company!


Have a nice day!


Best regards,
T.M. Jack

Can anyone tell what rifles these are? They don't look like Krags. Chris
 
Great looking figures but IMO they should be a little dirtier,a little more ragged looking. Just a little too clean but very nicely sculpted.

Looking forward to all those upcoming Franco Prussian War releases. - Seeing what a great job you did with this Spanish American War Gatling gun set, I'm hoping there will also be some Prussian artillery added to an already impressive list of future Franco Prussian War releases.
 
Can the collectors of these fine sculpts are going to be able to build some pretty amazing dioramas. The gun is impressive. Robin.
 
Are the marching figures a color party set and that is why all but the officer are corporals?
they all look great!
 
Love them. I am getting the gatling gun and the crawling guys. I am going to paint over the infantry white stripe and turn him into a marine
 
I also cant wait for next month and those Algerians.
I rekon we would all love some more sneek peeks of the upcoming Franco Prussian War stuff. I am getting almost all of it.
 
Trapdoor Springfields.


Correct! The US Army issued The US Springfield 45 caliber single shot breechloading rifles to the State/Volunteer units.

The Regular Army units got 30-40 Caliber Krag rifles and carbines depending on if Infantry or Cavalry.

Theodore Roosevelt and Colonel Wood lobbied to get Krag carbines for the Ist volunteer Cavalry. the Rough Riders.

During the Span Am War, the poor volunteers fought with these antiquated black powder rifles, which blatantly gave away their positions to the Spanish, with big clouds of smoke from their fire. easily spotted even in the jungle. The Spanish, who all had new Mauser smokeless powder high velocity, magazine fed bolt action repeaters.Were at an advantage in some areas.

These Mauser rifles, were universally considered better than even the Krag guns. although the Krags were smokeless magazine weapons too.
Which is why the US Army quickly replaced the Krag with the 1903 springfield rifle in 1903. which was, by the way, a copy of the Mauser bolt locking design. Which we had to pay restitution to the Mauser inventors for patent infringement.
 
Not my era or a manufacturer i collect, but these look excellent, well done on some excellent figures from a relatively new manufacturer.
 
Hello Collectors,


After some consideration, I decided to remove the stripes, even though they seemed to be missing something.


Best wishes,

I'm no expert, but if you remove the stripes on the sleeves, then you would also have to remove the stripes on the trousers. The corporal looked nice, but better to have both, corporal and Enlisted man. The flag bearer I think should be a corporal or seargent.
