Wouldn't it be great to see John's range evolve into something like this! Photos taken from a wargames site showing some of the collection of the late Peter Gilder.

There's a lot of inspiration to be found in the wargames world. Some really good links here, too: http://osborneradloff.blogspot.com/2009/10/peter-gilders-models-from-wargammes.html. I just can't get past the weird proportions most of the sculptors use. I bought some of the Perry Miniatures Sudan line in 28mm- couldn't resist a full heliograph set for less than a double sawbuck. But Edward Suren was the only guy who made small-scale Colonial figures that didn't look like Middle-Earth escapees...

The problem is that when you make 28mm figures with the correct proportions, they don't sell! The over sized hands and faces stand out across a six foot table and that is what they are meant for.

Great pictures Jeff.

I particularly like the Gun Boat
