[Cold Steel Miniatures]

Here are the latest "Cold Steel Miniatures" soldiers ready for pre order. They are the French 86th Line Regiment of infantry from the early battles of the Peninsular War. They are depicted on campaign in their long summer coats. They will be available in 5 weeks time. I do hope that you like them.

Here are the last ones and i forgot to mention the price is £40 each if you buy in the UK or $55 in the US either from George at minuteman toy soldiers or Bill Sager.
There are another 5 to come later on in the year which will be the standard bearer and column head troops.

 

[Toy Soldier Brigade]

Very nice looking figures. I do have on small issue with the figures, and this is just my personal preference. I wish manufacturers would not use that type of grass on the bases and just paint them. I have that same issue with FL and some Russian figures too. I looks great for a few years, but then it starts to look dirty and matted after a while. Kinda like tattoos on a senior citizen. I had a few Russian figures that the loose ground cover really became dried out and faded. Even that type of ground cover on a diorama or train layout needs to be freshened up from time to time.

Thanks for the feed back and I am glad you like the figures. The first couple of releases we didn't use grass. These are the first to have grass on the base, I think next time we will just use a little bit instead of covering the whole base.
