Yeomanry Miniatures (1 Viewer)

[boerboy]

Hi Tom,

Trooper and Yeomanry have a perfect example of the Ford Model T narrow gauge car., congrats to both....During the weekend I will look up my reference books and scan some pages with info on the version used at the front to share with everyone.....All we now need is a narrow gauge locomotive and some rolling stock and we are in for a total new venue of WW1 front supply system......

Good luck with it... I did a lot research in my time on 1:32 scale train models: there are only two major engine manufacturers which are making them and one of them is Marklin Gauge 1. They are very expensive and it will be cheaper to built them from scratch w/o a motor ...however you can 1:32 rolling stock car plastic kits around $30...
Just my two cents.

Hi Guys,

I was reviewing this thread and realised I hadn't captioned the pictures of the Cavalry Maxim Gun, so here goes!

1) Maxim Gun of the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen's Bays) 1890. The crew are dressed in their "undress Uniform" sometimes referred to as the Alternate Full Dress.

2)Cavalry Maxim Gun on Campaign. The crew are dressed for Boer War service or service in India.

3) Cavalry Maxim Gun of the Sussex Yeomanry 1902 - 1908. Note the blue embellishments to their Service Dress.

Here I go again! I am posting some pictures of the Cavalry Maxim Machine Gun produced by Yeomanry Miniatures. This gun was used by both the Cavalry and Yeomanry Cavalry and even some Mounted Infantry units. I hope they are of interest.

OK, latest pre production photos from Yeomanry. This is a Ford Model T railcar, used on the Western Front. The kit can be assembled to either show the rail version or the road. There are photgraphs showing both configurations. The railway track will be incorporated into a scenic base for the finished model. Appropriate wagons will be added at a later date. Brian will announce the prices in due course. Trooper

Hi Trooper and Yeoman,

As promised here is the literature and pics of the famous narrow gauge Ford Model T you are greatly adding to the WW1 scenario.....We now need to figure out how to come up with more rail links to expand the dioramas.....

Thanks for the pics and info, Fleury.
If you don't mind, can you share with us what book this is?

Hi Artillery Crazy,

Great pictures and information. Trooper tells me that two of the pictures formed the basis for the masters he has made for the railcar.

I don't think there will be a problem with additional rail links as I intend to put the piece of track Trooper has produced into a mold. It will then be put onto a base with groundwork to produce a scenic base in resin. To create extentions I should be able to cast lengths of track which could then either be purchased seperately or mounted onto additional bases to extend the track under any new models we produce. I am seeing Graham Pettitt tomorrow to get his advice on the best way to fit it into a mold.

Just to whet your appetites for additional material I think I can announce that Trooper will shortly start work on a Ford Model "T" troop carrier and I have commissioned Dave Love of Mountford Metal Miniatures Ltd. to produce a Mk IV Vickers Light Tank for Yeomanry Miniatures which was used by the Cavalry and the Yeomanry Cavalry during the Inter - War years. If nobody else is interested it is something I have wanted for many years and I might even get one to add to my collection. Something that has not happened before!

Regards to all.

Yeoman.

Hi Yeoman,
Fantastic news that you are giving us here.....The Ford Model T will provide us with infinite opportunities for this carrier......And the added news that Trooper will come up with a MK IV is just incredible......sign me up for at least two.....if we can have the radio/command variant along with the regular gun platform .......great!!!! Depending on how the model comes, it can even role in as a BEF France 1939/40 and even early Egypt Imperial Army......
What great news!!!!!

Hi Konrad,
This is a volume of a fantastic series that Blandford Press used to publish in the 70´s.This volume is related to the influence of railroad and rolling stock in wars, covers the period between ACW and WW1.As a kid my dad would always buy these for me as a treat, and I can assure you that I learnt reading and drawing by devouring these books and others such as Victory and Commandos.......
It is a pitty that reference books like these no longer exist.

Thanks for the info, Fleury.

While searching for the book tonight I found "Railways And War Before 1918" by Denis Bishop and K. Davies
In addition I found another book that looks promising and I ordered it as well.
It is "Military Transport of World War I" by Denis Bishop and C. Ellis

From the descriptions, both books seem to be great references and very well done.

Great looking books, Konrad!^&cool^&cool I just purchased a mobile pigeon loft like the one on the cover from Tommy Atkins, as I have been unable to find one of the Heco Tinplate Models mobile pigeon lofts to date.

Hello again,

I received an enquiry today from a gentlman who was concerned that he might have missed the boat on the 1904 Rolls Royce Staff Car and I thought that I should let you know that unless an item is released as a"Limited Edition" it will always be available.

To this end I quote from my listing:- "Yeomanry Miniatures reserves the right to either change, amend or update the figures in it's catalogue without prior notice to ensure the best possible product for it's customers at all times. However, any figures discontinued, under this policy, can be made available upon special request." No extra charge is made for this service!

As an example I am about to retire the "Ambush" Set from my catalogue. this set comprises a kneeling Officer checking a fallen Comrade, a Trooper carrying away a wounded Trooper, a trooper kneeling firing and a trooper standing loading his carbine. These figures are being re-worked by the addition of shoulder chains and pugarees around their helmets and will return as part of another set. The original figures although withdrawn from the catalogue will still be available upon special request at the same price as the other figures in my catalogue.

I am attaching a picture of the soon to be retired set.

Best wishes to all.

Yeoman.

Hi Konrad,
I am very happy that you were able to find these books.
The whole series cover many different military titles, including airplanes and uniforms.
I have an extra Military Transport of WW2 which is the complement to your WW1 let me know if you want it.

Fleury

Hi Yeoman and Trooper,
I was going through my reference books looking for some info for Konrad and remembered that the book Mechanised Warfare in colour Military Transport of WW1 Published by Blandford has a fantastic array of vehicles, including a couple of Ford Medel T ideas. So I scanned a couple for you and Trooper.

Hi Luiz (Artillery_Crazy)

Thanks for the pictures I will add them to our growing list of pictures of vehicles from WW1. Following the visit I made to my mold maker earlier this week, when I picked up the molds for the dismounted crew for the Boer War Maxim Machine Gun you wanted, I had an interesting discussion with him that could lead to some exciting possibilities for the future of Yeomanry Miniatures.

I will send you aprivate E-mail about this as we are only just in the discussion stage at the moment.

Regards

Hi Brian, Konrad and Trooper,
