Toysoldiers - A short video about some FIW stuff

Manufacturer:   JohnJenkinsDesign

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi,

just a short video showing a part of my collection of figures of the FrenchIndianWar. All figures are JohnJenkinsDesign. The tents are JGMiniatures and the big log cabin and the big palisade are selfmade.

I tried to combine some different ranges. Refugees (own range) are arriving at an fortified outpost (St.Francis-range). I know that there are some palisades missing in the front of the display. But to be honest I used to display this scene in this way. But the palisades just obstructed the view on the figures. I am sure this won´t be the final attempt to display the scene.

Cheers

Mike

Toysoldiers - "The Boxer Rebellion" or "Peking 1900" - French Marine Infantry and French Navy

Manufacturer:   TeamMiniatures

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi,

this is already the fourth part dealing with "The Boxer Rebellion" or "Peking 1900". This time I would like to show you the series of miniatures made by TeamMiniatures that represents the contingent of France - The French Marine Infantry and French Navy. This series consists of seven wonderful figures.

The figures shown within my earlier posts about the Boxer Rebellion are already completely added to my collection. This time a single figure of this series is missing (PGFA-6004). If it is not sold out yet I hope to get it from one of my dealers.

The further posts to come concerning "The Boxer Rebellion" also won´t show figures of my collection. I don´t have the complete range. There are some series there I only have one single figure and also some series there I don´t have any figure at all.

But I can assure you that there will be some special content.


Cheers

Mike





The missing figure - I hope to get it for a lower price.
I was lucky to get the other figures much cheaper. Otherwise I could not afford my collection.

Toysoldiers - "The Boxer Rebellion" or "Peking 1900" - The Italian Bersaglieri

Manufacturer:   TeamMiniatures

Scale:   60mm (1:30)



Hi again,

the third part of my series about the Boxer Rebellion shows a small series of Italian Bersaglieri. Again these figures are produced by TeamMiniatures. There are two variants of uniforms - one in blue and one in beige. The figures of both variants are identically the same and there are at least nine figures in both variants. I decided to go for the blue variants because this is also the one that can be found within Osprey 95 "The Boxer Rebellion".

Here is some information that can be found on wikipedia.

A very nice series of miniatures and maybe I will search for the beige variants aswell.


Cheers

Mike
