Fields of War : Boxers Rebellion

 

[GICOP]

Martyn,

If you have figures that you wish to sell please let me know, unless you don't want the bother of shipping, which I certainly understand.

Thank you all for the comments. Tom had mentioned to me yesterday that the figures with the oval bases were early issues. I have seen the soldier on eBay but not the others.

A more general question. Was the T & C series supposed to show life in London in the 19th Century or English life in general.

Brad

Hi Brad

I only have four T&C figures that I am taking to the London Show, funny enough you have just found 2 of them

Cheers

Martyn

1. T&C early set C34 "A Lady with 5th Lancer", it was probably a special order, because one I already have is less colorful.

2. Legend and History Series DC4 "King Arthur of the Round Table he stands glazing at the sword EXCALIBUR embedded in rock

3. This is Knight has TM not D mark, I am not sure about his name.

Yes, that is an odd coincidence. Do you have any interest in selling this one or would you prefer to do it at the Show?

Brad

 

[boerboy]

These are mine

 

[jazzeum]

Two is better than one :smile2: Any reason for the variation or was it just a whim?

Brad,
I think Len gave his painters "a liberty to chose thier colors" when they painted the civilian figures in particular, so they would not get bored with their work
I obviously do not collect ALL variations: just keep the most colorful ones and let others go...
It's too bad that you missed my table yesterday, I had "a bum" figure for sale but sold it already. I might have another one, I will check.

Al,

Don't know where my head was. Must be the cold I'm nursing or old age or both

Gentleman,
A few show finds. I also located a Hamleys Bus with both Winter/Summer conversions. (pics will come later)

Tom

 

[boerboy]

Great findings, Tom
Did you find the bus at the show? I can not believe that I missed such a big piece

Finding a bus like that must be the hit of any show. Look forward to the photos.

 

[tdubel]

Bus at the show, but I have to get from Louis, I sent him back on my drive home!!! I could not pass it up.

When I get it, I will photo it.

NATAL LIGHT HORSE

First saw action in May 1879, commanded by Capt. W. Whalley ex. 17th Lancers
The core of the unit was drawn from the Frontier Light Horse and at one time comprised of 138 men, their largest action was at the Battle of Ulundi on July 4th 1879. As the original troopers were drawn from the FLH there uniform was heavily influenced by that of the FLH. Along with Martini-Henry and Snider carbines many men carried sabres and revolvers

Set# ZS22/V – NATAL LIGHT HORSE

Hi Martyn,

Splendid. I like the way your photographs emphasize the shiny gloss finish.

I never did find out what was "superior gloss" finish.

Cheers, Raymond.
