What Toy Soldier items Have You Acquired in The Last 2 Weeks ? (1 Viewer)

[ivanmoe]

And the credit card cryeth out, "that's all for this billing cycle!"

In all seriousness, I realize that there's a high-brow element to TS-collecting. And let me acknowledge that my approach to acquisitions is pretty modest in comparison. Were I not willing to use "ersatz planes and vehicles" with these KC sets, I probably wouldn't even attempt a BoB display. I guess the good news for KC is that "the humble collector" has options that allows for a partial use of its catalog.

Got two medieval guys (father and son) from Black Hawk just the other day. A purchase to check on style, size and quality of their medieval figures.
Think I will get some more :smile2:
It's "The Lance 1330's" that I am tempted with.

Happy Collecting!

You cannot say Thomas Gunn does not take packing seriously..... look at the size of the box.... now saying all that if the box was half as big maybe shipping would not have been so outrageous for this item....

OMG, TG forgot the PROP!

J/K, it's a beauty. There's still a small supply of this model in the retail channel (as well as the winterized version and the last Rumpler). I'd post a link here, but I don't want to put myself in the position of hawking someone else' wares on the forum. PM me if you'd like directions.

Not the best sculpt, not painting, but this one gave me a chuckle so I bought it!

It is Man's Best Friend from C.M. Scotland, LTD.

I picked up the last of the TCS Agincourt figures plus two kneeling firing Gordons to add to my square. I also saw the TG Australian and Japanese figures which are just excellent. They will be next week. I am hopeful of clearing the decks because the K&C English Civil War range is on its way!

Hi.
I like this figure.
Do you happen to have the web address or any contact information for C.M. Scotland Ltd. ?
Thanks,
MikeNick

 

[zblang]

I don't. Before I saw that figure, I had never even heard of them

 

[Jack]

Picked these up from my local TS shop. Well done TG! I am lucky enough to have a shop close by, so I see figures before I buy. I was, nevertheless, still very pleased when these came out of the box looking good! I will grab the other Japanese figures next week. I am pleased that I bought TG's Japanese tank on a whim some months back. It is always nice to buy as things are released rather than play catch-up.

Those Aussies are great figures.

Yes ... they are nice figures. I have tried to avoid WW2 because where will my collecting end if I start a whole new conflict. I do, however, like to support companies when they make Australian figures, explore under-represented battles, theatres, conflicts and make good figures. In this instance, I believe that TG have ticked all three boxes ... and at times Vicki's posts have made me laugh aloud. That is, as they say, gravy.

I've just received the remaining 5 figures (castings) from this set:

Austrian Infantry Regiment Gyulai (Hungarian) c 1750

I found the Officer, NCO and Standard Bearer in a toy soldier shop in Vienna in July, while on holidays and then when looking on the Hecker & Goros website ( http://www.hecker-goros.de/ ) saw that there were 5 more figures.

I tracked them down at Berlin Zinnfiguren, even though they were not in stock, they managed to obtain them after 4 weeks, and finally the casting have safely arrived 'down under, and are awaiting 'a lick of paint'

I'll show off that project later in a Painting Thread.

My John Jenkins Design order arrived today, so I couldn't wait to open them, and set up the troops in their dioramas.

Firstly the remaining Prussian from the Battle of Leuthen diorama to which I added a new wall section so I could spread out the Austrian defenders.



Note that I cannot place the top section of the gate structure until I raise the shelf, which involves reorganising my collection

Below in a new diorama kit I recently constructed and painted, is my first display of a French column in Spain, about to ambushed by Spanish Guerrillas.

The new figures are the Officer and the remaining Fusilier marching.



The diorama is a plastic kit from MiniArt, the Ukrainian maker.
