One King & Country set and a John Jenkins set. I have been after both for a while for a good price and I got both off ebay this week for a deal.

A nice little combination. This is one I painted up a number of years ago, I am guessing late '90s. I particularly liked, the dog as it looked really miserable.
I think it was by the Spanish company Andrea in a Retreat to Corunna Series.(I kept the painting instructions but not the box.) In the original form the 2 figures and the hound were on a different base, it had the forward edge of an embankment and a section of bridge.
Sorry my tech skills do not allow the posting of a picture.

It did come with the base you describe but I wanted it flat so it could go alongside other figures. The base is still the bridge but textured to represent grass.
I was delighted to get it.

Two more came in today.
What a surprise! The USPS tracking showed expected delivery on Monday.
But, when standing in my front yard today, suddenly a USPS truck drove up and handed over a little package to me, coming in from Treefrog :smile2:
The latest additions for the JJD Conquest of America line, the Aztec General and a Spanish Conquistador with Sword and Buckle.
Both of them are outstanding figures, very well done, both in sculpting and painting.

Nice to see this one with the dog following on …..

Hello John,

I replied to Major Busgen's posted earlier, see 3250. However having now checked my memory now believe Beneito Miniaturas Spain made the original figures.
Beneito's website is still showing a related figure to their Retreat to Coruna series. It is a rifleman trudging through snow carrying two Baker rifles. The link is:-

if interested.

Yours Aye,

I completed painting these castings yesterday. They come from a fellow Treefrogger, Andrew, (Sandringham39) and are recasts of an original Roy Dilley set ( he apparently, originally made these for his son as a Xmas present). Andrew has resurected these with permission - as a limited edition run - which can be purchased both painted and as castings.

See it her: https://www.replicametalsoldiers.co.uk/new-pagetypes-of-the-military

The set is titled "Life in the Army - The Garrison Christmas Waits" - and depicts a mid-Victorian band of Christmas carolers in front of a Christmas tree, in a Garrison somewhere, being conducted by a another Guards Officer.

I chose castings - and they turned out like this. jb

It has been a good week around here. I have been collecting the USMC and WP series lately and thought for sure I was going to miss the the JJD Romans and the Bunker Hill cause I can only spend so much. And I knew that was going to be a mistake.These are stunning. Well one of the 8 figure sets popped back up on TF so...

Everyone at Tree Frog worked some magic to get me a gate as well. Thank Thank Thank You.Then the my wife said she would buy the Corsair as a Bday gift.
It's been a good week.
