Redcoats Displays (2 Viewers)

The two Guns in action are from JJD "Bagun-01", one Gunner Team is from "Tradition of London" (also the British firing line, facing the French).

The Tradition kits are really good ones, too. Nicely sculpted and crisply cast, and they paint up well.

Prost!

Artilleryman, that is an outstanding collection and display.

I echo Andreas' sentiments!! This is a very nice set up and you've displayed them well.

I really love these ranges, I hope the plug can be retrieved and we can get more of these, especially more Americans and maybe even other nationalities. I have a couple sizable displays of them at this point, including a large American 1812 formation with the new bands and a timeline of American soldiers with matching women from the Petticoats series.

Just spectacular!! One of the best glossy parade set ups I've ever seen!

I've always hoped that they'd add more cavalry, especially from the Seven Years War. A British dragoon, light dragoon (like the 15th LD), and Horse Guard would be nice, and a French heavy, a dragoon, and a hussar. There are figures from other brands for those subjects, but it would be nice to have them from the same hand as the rest of the series.

Prost!

Very very true, not to speak about those wonderful and colourful militia and free corps formation.

Well, I only know Tradition; 65 euros per rider (sets with three riders), not exactly cheap – especially since I don't know the exact scale of the riders (Tradition jumps around a bit wildly, sometimes 52mm, then 54mm, even 56mm is not uncommon; the "Imperial Germany" General/Staff is 58mm...)
Who knows the exact size of TRADITION-Bestell-Nr.: 808/SET/657 / 6. Inniskilling Dragoons?

I always liked the Tradition figurines albeit the constant shifting of scale within their ranges.
The prices are a bit steep but at least they offer unpainted castings as well. Yet Brexit does help to make ordering "from the continent" even more unattractive. Marching back 150 years "Buy German Bananas".

I always liked the Tradition figurines...

Yes, when they first offered their Seven Years War kits, it was a real bonus. There weren't any other such figures on the market at the time. You had to track down Rose kits or old Staddens.

The British and French infantry are nicely sculpted and cast, with crisp detail. And the British dragoon figures were a welcome addition, too. I've been gradually adding the British troops as the 20th foot for a Minden display.

Now if they would just add some more cavalry kits...

Prost!

I really enjoyed sculpting these and the bulk of what I have displayed at home are the Redcoats…with about 25 “Hat Men” too. I always hoped to offer more but the plug was pretty much pulled when First Gear still owned the brand, so the few new ones have only been offered as Collectors Club figures in recent times. I am building a nice display of 1790s Guards at the moment!

That was a pitty...I really enjoyed the series and did focus on the 1st Foot, but when the series dried up I could not get additional sets nore did new poses for that Regiment in specific came out...I was wanting some in firing as the ones made for the French Marines ...but they never came....
Would that be a consideration for the future? Focus back into the Indian/7 Years war or Civil War and the Great Wars is where the money is so the colonial wars are a gonner.....?

Very nice display, i have mine in some cabinets from a company called Picture Pride, see pic below of one of the three cabinets, no glass front on it as too much glare with it on.

Can’t beat glossy redcoats and those pesky French certainly won’t

A glorious display.

The late 18th century cavalry are some of the very best mounted glossies that Britain’s have produced. Absolutely superb.
