Toysoldiers - "Settlers and refugees" - a small range from JohnJenkinsDesign

Manufacturer:   JohnJenkinsDesign

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi again,

this saturday´s post is about a small range from JohnJenkinsDesign that fits both to FrenchIndianWar or American War of Independence.

The figures have wonderful postings that catch the drama within this scene. I love the small details like the dolls on one horse and another one held by the little girl.

Also the girl that is sitting on a horseback seeking protection while wrapping around her mothers body.

The settler with the rifle looking backwards is alos brilliant. Maybe he has heard a suspicious noise and now is looking for potential danger. 

A possible setting could be the settlers walking on a path through the woods observed by two or three hidden Indian warrios. 

Another setting could be that the refugees are leaving their home for enemy troops are expected to arrive soon.

Maybe thats a good idea.


Cheers

Mike

Toysoldiers - Two more figures for my collection concerning"Tyrolean Rebellion"

Manufacturer:   PianoWargames (3d-printed and selfpainted)

Scale:   60mm (1:30)



Hi,

I am having a lot of inspiration at the moment and also the neccessary time to work on my project "Tyrolean Rebellion".

So within the last three days I was able to paint up two more figures for my collection. There are still some more figures on the workbench or even some more that have not been printed yet. And of course I will also have to print and paint some Austrian regulars and also of course the Bavarians. 

The next two figures I finished are a female civilian and a leader of a unit of Tyrolean "Schützen".

Hope you like them. :)


Cheers Mike



Some of the already painted figures. There are some more finished figures that I didn´t set in scene
here. There are also some painted ones at "Chicken´sTabletopCrafting" as scale references for a Tyrolean house that I ordered from Chicken. The people need some buildings in the right scale, too.

Some terrain for my collection of Toysoldiers

Manufacturer:   Found at TEMU

Scale:   1:30 (60mm)


Hi again,

Some time ago I found some very interesting items at TEMU. I know that a lot of people have strange feelings about ordering at TEMU, but it often offers good 3d-printed pieces of terrain to affordable prices and the quality is really good. I also can recommend to buy your tufts or flocking materials there. If you do need a lot of tufts you can save much money there.

So - by the time my stock on material of wargaming terrain got rather good sorted and these days I found some pieces of terrain I forgot that I had them while tidying up my man´s cave.

I found some tree trunks, a fireplace and also a suckling pig on a spit. Not for 28mm, but in the perfect size to be used in combination with my collection of toysoldiers.

Within my collection of the FIW there is also a group of Roger´sRangers that is sitting or leaning on vats resting. So the suckling pig should be a great addition to this group of figures. Even the tree trunks and some rocks should look nice next to the Rangers.

So I got me my brushes and colours and started to paint those pieces of terrain. I am really happy with the result.


Cheers

Mike
