I started collecting the French Indian War by John Jenkins when I saw the first stunning BM sets of the Battle of Monongahela and I have to say that I am not yet tired of this incredible period, short from the historical point of view but full of charm and involving events.
This is why I will never tire of hoping that other sets will be added to the collection from time to time, I have many characters and accessories that I'd like to be issued.
I always think about the John's great talent and how many requests and suggestions he has kindly accepted from the collectors, but I also imagine what he could still reserve for the FIWs enthusiasts.
I have already entered my wish list in this Forum and today I want to re-propose some sets that I would like to see in the coming months. I wish to support my list with some well known images.
a) one Drummer, one Flagbearer, one Officer for the wonderful Landing Barge;
b) also an Indian Scout for the same;
c) a new Blockhouse (and Stockade) and new Log Cabins;
d) more Civilians for both the sides, French and British: men and women in different jobs and housework poses;
e) more soldiers in camp life and new tents;
f) more French and British Artillery and Crew;
g) one French Artillery Limber;
h) more Indian warriors and squaws in camp life, dogs, kids and accessories;
i) a new Wigwam;
l) one 'huge' Canoe with Indian paddlers and sitting F or B soldiers;
m) ...or at least only the sitting soldiers for the exixsting Canoes...
......I am quite old and I'd like to see the above sets within a few years ....ha ha ha
cheers, thank you John
