GreAtphotos. I love the Zulu War rocket set. Wish I had bought it

A mixed bag flew in this week. First up some older Thomas Gunn German tank riders to go with those winter tanks on the Eastern Front or during the Battle of the Bulge in early winter 1945. Next up some superb Prussian cavalry to go with the ever growing range from Team Miniatures covering the
Franco/Prussian War. Incidentally there is a great series (done in weekly parts) on YouTube on the conflict. Then those mysterious Bahamas native peoples, Guanahani, Christopher Columbus first encountered in the Bahamas again made by Team Miniatures. That first contact between the peoples of the new world and the white man. This provides a great lead into the Aztec figures done by Morgan Miniatures and John Jenkins. I love the huts which add to the scene and the apprehension on the faces of the figures as Columbus lands and crashes into their world.

The final figure from the King & Country set of French infantry during their expedition to Egypt in 1798. I was always missing the drummer so picked it up. I got three more Sots Greys to add to the ones already acquired. I can now amass a charge of 20 figures once these are combined with the little troops in New Zealand. l also had a hankering for the WW2 Japanese truck. Finally I eventually got hold of the First Legion sale priced Ancient Macedonian Infantry to add to the FL cavalry and Kronprinz infantry already acquired.

Anyway I hope you enjoy the photos.

A very small parcel flew into Tasmania this week. I am a great fan of Teutonic Knight figures and picked up a rather pricy additional First Legion figure. To help combat my Team Miniatures Mongol figures I got an addition First Legion Mameluke figure. I have several more in NZ that complement the TM figures well. My favorite figure from this batch is the Ottoman commander. I have some Tradition Ottoman Janissary and while on sale I thought I would pick up something to lead my small group of these iconic warriors. This is a masterpiece in fine painting. Lastly I am tinkering away at the K&C English Civil War rage and got the now retired Oliver Cromwell.

Have a great weekend everyone - it hits Oz first (well Samoa actually where I have lived a few years ago).

Getting a parcel on a Friday is the best as it allows you to enjoy the contents over a weekend and to study and take stock to assimilate them into your collection. Some mighty fine sculpts in this lot. Robin.

More wonderful photos, Gary! Not my line of collecting, but the detailed painting on these figures is simply amazing.

A couple of parcels to brighten up the end of a tough working week. The Spanish castle gateway from John Jenkins is a beast while the Thomas Gunn figures are always a delight.
