John's best series. (1 Viewer)

Something that John Jenkins said about Troy being one of his favorite series. got me thinking what my favorite one is. Here is mine and I must say that I got quite a bit of help and support from John when I was collecting it. Greg.

Mine is the Jacobite Rebellion, and I agree that Jon is amazingly helpful and supportive of his collectors. I am proud to count him as a friend, and among his many generous gifts to me over the years is this diorama base, which he made for the launch of the series:

Terrific scene Louis. It must be the massed uniforms that is so captivating. Greg.

Thank you, but all the credit goes to Jon! I also love his Knights of the Sky series, and his armor, but there is something about the Jacobite Rebellion that fascinates me! On a trip to Scotland two summers ago, I bought myself this Highland Dirk made in 1740 so old enough to have been part of the rebellion:

Here are some photos of Jon at my home, giving me one of my favorite pieces, the prototype of his remarkable StuG:

I have never met John but I did have some correspondence with him with emails and he was very generous in procurring some figures and crew. The thing i like about Battle on the Plains of Abraham, Quebec series is the different and colorful uniforms the expressions on the faces and the poses of the figures. I also find the history of the period fascinating and with both generals being fatally wounded, how the battle turned out. I do remember the late Brett Williams talked of John frequently. Greg.

All his WW2 Armour, it is amazing and historically correct, just wish he had followed up on some crew figures, especially these.

Wayne,

Just amazing photos of some great JJD armor! And I totally agree with you about the crews.

I agree, brilliant armour models, sometimes I wish it was dirtier though.

Agree mate, I sometimes wish during pre-order you could ask for weathering wouldn't mind paying a bit extra.
But I get it mass-produced all the same, probably too hard to organise.

We share the same thoughts, they are superb though.

My personal favourites are the Napoleonic era series. "Wellington in India," "Peninsular War," and "War of 1812" were all well done in my opinion.
