Toysoldiers - Latest additions to my collection

Manufacturers:   JohnJenkinsDesigns, King&Country, TeamMiniatures

Scale:   60mm (1:30)

Hi,

Though I would like to post some stuff about my actual project of building up an early Republican Roman army for an army list suitable for the rules of LionRampant 2, I am again out of order due to another stay in hospital and a second upcoming operation. 

So this is why this post is (again) about my collection of 60mm toysoldiers. Just to get over the boring time here without any possibilities to assemble figures, painting them or crafting terrain. And not to spend the time searching eBay for more figures to buy 😂.

The figures shown here are additions I got within the last few months, but I haven’t shown them here on my blog yet. As my collection is a bit widespread there are different periods of warfare they belong to.

The first newbie to my collection is a variation of Jim Bowie from King&Country‘s range of „Remember the Alamo“ (RTA048). I also got another figure for this range several months ago that I have not shown. It is a wounded Texian (RTA057). This range is not my focus, so there are only three figures within my collection at the moment. I don’t want to expand this range very soon. I’ll take chances on bargains on eBay or somewhere else, but as I mentioned before it is not my focus.

The next models are really on my focus. I love the FrenchIndianWar ranges from JohnJenkinsDesigns. Once for the period and twice for their sculpts. I was lucky to find this boat (QBOAT-01) from the range „The battle of Quebec“. With these boats the British landed at Quebec in the night from 12th to 13th September 1759, climbed up steep cliffs in order to launch the attack on Quebec next day. So - I’ve got a boat. Now the search for the crew will follow. I have already spotted a seller on eBay. But he is located in Canada. So costs of shipment and also taxes and customs made the offer far too expensive. Maybe I will be lucky some day to find the crew for an affordable price.

I was also lucky to find this set of Lt.Brown and an officer (QB-02B), that also belong to the „Quebec“ range. I placed the figures next to the boat just to give a better impression of the boat’s dimensions. The two figures can be seen in a painting showing the death of General Wolfe and do complete the scene. The painting shown in this post is not the original one, it is done using AI, but it comes close to the original 

Also belonging to the „Quebec“ range I got me some more marching British soldiers to increase the advancing forces. You never will get too many soldiers for an impressive marching line. 😊

Again JohnJenkinsDesigns, but this time from the range „Raid on St.Francis“. Some marching soldiers from the Connecticut Provincial Regiment.

Finally again some JohnJenkins miniatures, this time from the „GreatWar“ range. Not a focus again, but I got a suitable piece of artillery for a very good price that has already arrived while I am here in hospital. But here is the gun crew and some more infantrymen resting. Normally the guys I am calling „resting“ are Tank riders and bus passengers. But their poses are ideal for calling them „resting“. In combination with this piece of terrain (I don’t remember the manufacturer) this is quite a good setting and they look like waiting for orders.

This was a short report about my newest additions. I hope you enjoyed it. 🙂

Cheers

Mike
