Fantastic pics (great photography)

Looks like a couple of new French Marines in Campaign Dress for Quebec/Monongahela in the pic with the 24 pounder and the rear view of the Ticonderoga log defence!

And the shot from behind the gun show two new French figures that I have heard no one speak about. They have talked about the British, unpainted attacking this log stockade, but what are these two new painted French and when are they coming out? And they are not the two new ones that came out last month - I wen and checked.

Any info on them would be great to have,

Thanks.

They are definitely French Marines, in Campaign dress for Battle of the Plains of Abraham/Monongahela as the recent QFM-05 release was described in the Sierra JJD september newsletter as the first of several, and the 2 new figures have a close resemblance to the QFM-05 set - I guess this must be the 2nd set - let's call them QFM-06

Thanks for posting the great photos, Carlos. That Triplane is a must have although I have some rivet count reservations. I will live with what comes. Just happy to have it. The Sopwith looks great and is a must have, too. In fact, any WW1 aircraft in this scale is going to be a must have for me. I am an addict of the genre. Thank you JJD for stepping into WW1 aviation in such a grand manner. -- Al

One picture appears to show a Befehlswagen I command tank. There were only 4 in the SCW according to Osprey.

Some close ups of the Tri Plane (high probability it will come out with 3 paint variations,depends on sales of the prior version starting with this one....what would be your picks....the Black one, White one or maybe different variations the Baron had besides this red one???)

and some of the French defensive position at Tricod'a

More photos to come...hopely these help

Given the scope of possibilities, I hope JJ does some Triplanes other than just the Baron's. Here are examples from Kempf and Voss. It would nice if someone could post more examples.

Have to admit the breadth of ranges are impressive (FIW, 1812, Jacobites, Sudan, SCW, WW1, have I missed any?) and knowing John he will do them in depth as well (Depending on sales of course).

Great subject. A can of worms, if ever there was one. WW1 German aircraft markings are as many and varied as there were pilots. I don't think any two aircraft were identical in colors and markings. The Triplanes were especially varied. Richthofen flew the only all red tripe. Jasta 1 flew tripes with red ID squadron markings while the pilots chose their own craft ID colors: Lothar von Richthofen used yellow: Weiss used white; Wenzl, factory camo with a black and white stripe; Steinhauser had camo and red and yellow stripes. Jasta Boelcke's pilots used black and white trim as an identifier with their own personel colors for their own aircraft. Baumer used red-white-black stripes; Bolle had black-white-yellow stripes; Fromherz black and white diamonds. The color variations are different for each Jasta of which 14 were equipped with tripes. Different Jasta ID color for each and different pilot colors for each of the individual aircraft. The choices are all but endless. -- Al

I really really like the piece of log wall from above the French entrenchments at Ticonderoga - it looks quite large!
I wonder if John has made it so 2 pieces will fit together!

Really pleased to see the posts of "color variations" Keep them coming. John needs to hear (read) from the customer base which ones would be the most popular. and it turn marketable................after all THIS IS A BUSINESS. Granted not all wishes can be met, but the most popular certainly stand a better chance. Keep the feedback coming. (Yes he does read this forum)

I have attached a few photos from his "in process" kit that he travels with (3 weeks on the road coupled with the Chinese New Year can put a dent in anyones production). Not sure what they are but they looked like follow on Ticond'a figures or those insane Scott's. (My relatives, so I get to poke fun at them) More to come---stay tuned

Wow - this is a nice shot. Very cool to see works in progress like this. While I love the Bi and Tri planes and SCW, I'll be sticking to 1750's for my collecting mainly - Sudan does have a place in my heart as well.

So I will support this Ticon sets 100 percent. But we need French Regulars. 3 regiments were there including the La Sarre so maybe we can get some firing units for the La Sarre?????

As always - John does great work with each figure so animated, While I enjoy some K&C for their artistry, it's the quality and durability of the Jenkins figures that keeps me a loyal customer.

I just want to say Thanks for all who showed us who were not able to attend all of the great stuff coming our from all the companies.

I also wish John much success with his new ranges and the continuing of his base ranges in the FIW.

John said he is planning two wall sections that will form a zig zag - there also may be figures climbing the wall. All this is just "maybe" for now, but if we support the series, I'm sure these and more may come to pass.

 

[Jagdpanther]

This new Ticonderoga series is really sounding exciting cant wait to see how it progresses.

Okay, all you Braddock/Monongahela fans of Jenkins, doesn't the first picture look like a new 44th Grenadier Holy crap, I hope so!! I second guessed myself and thought maybe it was one of Barrell's men from Culloden, but this guys coat is open, John sculpted the culloden grenadiers with buttoned up coats. Take a look, what do you guys see Maybe the other guy next to him with his hand of his head is a 44th foot figure who is running away, and he took his jacket off, and now is only in his waistcoat. Robert Griffing's Braddock painting shows a guy running away with no coat on.
