I spent over an hour talking to John at the London show; well we were in the bar! First of all I would like to say what a very pleasant and approachable person John is and seemed to enjoy the company of the UK Treefroggers.

The short version is in red and I am sure that most JJD collectors will be more than happy in the coming year or so………………..


How far does he intend to go with the Sudan – Gordon Highlanders starting in June onwards in sets of two, followed by Fuzzies and others.

Does he intend to do any red facings on the 47th at Quebec – May do “Shirleys” Regiment which had red facings

More French for Monongahela and Quebec (flag bearers!) - Yes

More dead/wounded in all ranges – Maybe

More personalities and officers - Yes

More Battle on Snow Shoes – Will see how the Collectors Club goes

More figures based on Robert Griffing, John Buxton and David Wright paintings - No

Last of the Mohicans figures. – There will be suitable figures but not called LotM

Bushy Run range – Not that simple!

1812 - Artillery sets, Officers, Indians, British with pikes... – See show prototypes

Jacobean range
Personalities
Drummers – This year
Dragoons - 2011
Pipers - Soon
Wounded or dead
French foreign regiments: Royal-Écossais - Irish Picquets - Fitzjames' Horse - 2011
The 37th Regiment of Foot – There have been many requests for a young Wolfe
British Artillery - Yes
Stone structure of walls of Culloden Park. – Terrain will be developed later after the figure range has been established

St. Francis -
More civilians Indians for village...- Some delay as new Monongahela sets have taken up sculpting time.
Wounded or dead civilian Indians in village...
Rangers "on the prowl"..."entering or retreating"...
Indians and French in pursuit...
Lookout tower


I hope this helps.

Jeff-
Thanks so much for all the photos and info. Did John expand on Bushy Run at all? BTW: the 47th were wearing "Shirley's" disbanded 50th's uniforms at Quebec with red facings. I assume that is what he meant.

More Jacobites sound very good. Kinda disappointed about Battle on Snow Shoes, looks like no more monthly releases just maybe threw the club which is good.

Thanks Jeff!!

Thanks Jeff for the answers. It's very nice to hear that the Jacobitan will expand and looking forward to the piper. Can not wait till the rest arrives.

The Sudan range with the Gordon Highlanders is a shure go for me.
