Aren't those beautiful? The "watercolor version" looks like the "animated" live action film shots that were done for the opening credits of a military history series a while back. I can't remember the name of it.

Back to the roots of toy soldier collecting! Love it!!!

Thanks for the pic.

My main collection of glossies consists of Tradition Napoleonics... I think it is about time for another glossy addition!

Hi There,

These are single figure sets from the Red Coats line. The marching figure is set number is 50011C, available only to the Collectors Club members, thus the "c" at the end of the set #, and is a for the battle of Tel-el-Kebir. The second figure is set number 44027 42d Highlander standing at attention.

The Club figure is being re-issued in October as a regular Redcoat release (44042) wearing the grey/blue tunic worn in 1884-5 during the Gordon Relief Expedition. I plan to get multiples of this as well.
