Toysoldiers - Newest additions to my collection

Manufacturer:    JohnJenkinsDesign

Scale:    60mm (1:30)

Hi again,

today´s post is about my newest addition to my collection of toysoldiers scaled 1:30. I bought them on eBay for very good prices as some of these items had been sold half of their original price. Lucky shot. :)

The only thing was that I had to wait a longer time to be able to unpack the figures. I had to go to hospital for two weeks and my release had been yesterday. So guess what had been one of the first things to do after my arrival at home. ;)

The figures I bought are all from JohnJankinsDesigns and are some good reinforcements for the ranges I am already collecting. 

I was able to get at least two further figures for my collection of Rome and its enemies. A gallic cavalryman and a mounted Roman General. So my collection of "Little Alesia", as I call it, now looks like this.

My "Little Alesia" so far - a mixture of mainly JohnJenkinsDesings, some King&Country,
FirstLegion, Kronprinz Toysoldiers and some figures from a Russian Manufacturer I don´t 
remember.

Attack on the gate.

The "new" mounted warrior ...

... accompanied by his fellows. The figure in the middle is from King&Country.

The Roman General ...

... who commands a very, very small unit of Roman Cavalry. I have to point out that these figures
are always produced in limited numbers. Some of the ranges are hard to get for good prices. So it
will take me some years to increase the collection.

The following figures are belonging to my beloved ranges concerning the FrenchIndianWar.

Another Fifer for my British march column

Also got a marching British Grenadier ...

... and an officer ,,,

... because you cannot have enough men for building a good looking 
march column.

Two British soldiers firing their muskets ...

... because you also cannot have enough men for building a good looking firing line either.

I also got another British cannon ...

... so my collection of the range of "The Battle on the plains of Abraham" so far looks like this.

The last figure of the reinforcements had been this guy. Though I don´t collect the range
"The fur trade" this figure was half of its normal price. So it was no doubt to get it. 

And the figure fits perfectly to the Roger´s Rangers of my existing collection. Maybe he was a
trapper hired for scouting acions or something like that. Who knows? :)

I hope you liked this pictures and got some inspiration for our hobby. Keep on gaming, collecting and having fun playing with toysoldiers or wargaming minis.

Cheers,

Mike

Toysoldiers - Kronprinz Toy Soldiers

Manufacturer:   Kronprinz Toy Soldiers

Scale:   60mm (1:30)

Today I got three figures of the manufacturer "Kronprinz Toy Soldiers" from Spain. I have ordered them about one month ago and as this manufacturer is a smaller one it took some time to get my delivery. 

Someone told me on Facebook that this company used to produce figures for DelPrado. I don´t know if this is correct but it might be true comparing the style of the figures.

These are my first figures from this producer and I wanted to give them a try. I have seen these three Celts on the homepage of the company and decided to buy them for my collection of Late Republican Romans fighting the Celts aud Gauls.

In my opinion the painting style is not as clean as from the other companies. Especially the eyes and faces are not as good as those from other figures. But they do look good and fit well to the style and size of the miniatures of the other manufacturers. 

So - here they are.

Cheers

Mike

My small collection of Celts and late Republican Romans so far. On the left you can see the new
figures from Kronprinz Toy Soldiers.

The Kronprinz figures on their own.

There are at least three Celts in the range at the moment. At least I didn´t 
find more on the homepage.

This naked warrior was a must-have.

The second warrior.

And the third one.
