Toysoldiers - "Battle on the Monongahela" - I wasn´t satisfied by the arrangement of the figures

Manufacturer:   JohnJenkinsDesigns

Scale:   60mm (1:30)    

As you have already read in the title of this post I wasn´t really satisfied with the last arrangement of my display showing the "Battle on the Monongahela". The background was not really fixed, the ground did not fit perfect and I also was not able to  place all figures of my current collection of this range. The ammunition wagon had no space within the last arrangement.

So - another try. I fixed the background, optimized the underground and re-added the ammunition wagon.

Here is the result.

I also forgot to place the warrior with his trophy last time.

The ammunition wagon.is placed again.

Toysoldiers - A selfpainted "Hospitaller Knight"

Manufacturer:   ReconquerDesigns

Scale:  60mm (1:30)

Hi,

in order to finish the set from ReconquerDesigns of a Muslim Warrior fighting against a Eropean Knight I painted up the knight as a Hospitaller Knight in the style of toysoldiers. The problem was that the 3d-print did not come out perfectly. The sword was not printed correctly and also the sword scabbard was not printed completely. I had to scratchbuild both missing parts from a piece of wood and plastic card. But I managed it and completed the figure.

So the duelists are now ready to be included into a showcase. This showcase was just set up for taking some photos and it is a wild mixture of figures of several manufacturers. There are some King&Country, JohnJenkinsDesigns, TeamMiniatures and a single figure, that originally is not a toysoldier. But it fits well in size and so it found its way into the little photo session,

Cheers

Mike

The finished Hospitaller Knight.

The set of duelists from ReconquerDesigns.

Again I couldn´t resist to bring the fighters into animated action. There are three different variants.

Here comes the setting of the mixture of Crusade figures.

An overview - the next is a short video for more detaiil.

The Muslims are defending the gate. The castle is paper made from King&Country.

A siege tower is always necessary to storm a castle (King&Country)

The figure that normally isn´t a toysoldier in front of a medieval tent (K&C).

The duelists from Reconquer again. In the background the two 
Almoravid archers from JohnJenkinsDesigns that I used as  a
tempate for the Muslim warrior.

Mounted Templar Kinghts (TeamMiniatures) attack the mounted archer (King&Country).

An unequal fight of two Crusaders against one Saracen (King&Country).

Templars (one K&C, two TeamMiniatures) attack the Almoravid archers (JohnJenkinsDesigns).

Again one brave Saracen is fighting against two Templar Kinghts (King&Country).

Toysolders - A selfpainted "Almoravid Warrior"

Manufacturers;   ReconquerDesigns, JohnJenkinsDesign, King&Country

Scale:   60mm (1:30)

Hi,

after several posts with ready painted figures from different ranges I want to dedicate this post to my newest selfpainted figure. It is an Almoravid warrior from the naufacturer ReconquerDesigns

This company does a lot of really cool looking medieval figures in 28mm scale for 3d printing. You can find the figures here:  ReconquerDesigns on "myminifactory"  

I bought the set you can see on the last pictures of this post. It also includes a Crusader Knight but at the moment I am glad that I was able to finish this warrior. Due to an aching back I have to stop painting figures after a maximum of 30 minutes at the moment. It´s getting better, but about three days ago I wasn´t able to paint at all. So the Crusader Knight is also on the workbench but it will take me some more days to finish this miniature.

Again I won´t only print and paint this set of figures for my wargaming collection, but also for my collection of toysoldiers. So I scaled the figures up to 60mm. The figures really are an excellent extension to the figures of the usual manufacturers.

I have many templates for Crusader Knights like Templars or Hospitaller Knights. But there is a lack of templates concerning the Muslim forces of the Crusades. I have three Sarazens within my collection of toysoldiers from King&Country and also two Almoravid archers and one mounted flagbearer made by JohnJenkinsDesign. I decided to go for the Almoravid archers to be used as a template and wanted to paint the printed warrior in the style and in the colors of them. It was not so easy but it came out quite well. 

Hope you like it. :)

Cheers

Mike

The selfpainted warrior combined with the Almoravid archers made by JohnJenkins.

         

The 3d printed warrior in 60mm ...

A comparison to the templates from JohnJenkinsDesign.

Not to forget to include the mounted flagbearer.

My Muslim warriors so far - a mixture of JJD, King&Country and one selfpainted figure from
ReconquerDesigns.

Here is the set the warrior is taken from.
