Toysoldiers - Australian infantry for Gallipoli

Manufacturer:   JohnJenkinsDesigns, King&Country 

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi again,

Got these retired and hard to find guys from a seller on eBay to prices even below their original price. Seldom for retired sets. 

Though it is not my favorite period of warfare, Australian infantry for Gallipoli (also Turkish defenders) and Australian Lighthorsemen for Beersheba always caught my attention. So has been a must-have for the offered price.

I also asked AI again for setting the figures in scene. But here you can see that AI also does mistakes. Asking for a picture with the battle of Gallipoli in the background it created a version there the Australians are storming from an entrenchment to an hidden enemy and not from the coast uphill. But I liked the first version and also recreated another one, there Australian infantry us storming uphill from the coast.

The second mistake had not been a mistake done by AI. It has been my fault. I combined my earlier parts of my collection (4 infantrymen and one lighthorseman from King&Country) with the new additions of JohnJenkins. Then I asked for the background of the battle of Beersheba. Complete nonsense as there was not a combined attack of infantry and cavalry. But again the AI-created picture came out wonderful, so I will also show it here within this post. But I also asked AI for another version without infantry. The program then added a Turkish piece of artillery.


Cheers

Mike


The new additions to the collection.




The bayonet of the right figures was broken, that I knew
 from the description by the seller.

But the bayonet was included within the box, so some superglue
 did the job of fixing it.


The AI-Version with the Aussies storming from the hill.

The more correct version with the Australian forces storming from the beach uphill.

The newbies from JJD combined with the few figures
from King&Country I already had in my collection.

The wrong picture of Beersheba with a combined attack of infantry and cavalry.

The second version there AI replaced the infantry but added a Turkish artillery.
