Manufacturers: ConteCollectibles, JohnJenkinsDesigns
Scale: 60mm (1:30)
Hi,
Still in hospital, but I am hopeful to get released on Wednesday. After more than four weeks in hospital I can’t await to get back home. My cool cellar is awaiting me with lots of minis to be painted and some modeling projects that want to be finished.
In order to forget about the cruel temperatures outside and to distract from being here, I scrolled through my pictures on my phone. I have found some photos comparing two manufacturers and their ranges of FrenchIndianWar. ConteCollectibles and JohnJenkinsDesigns.
First of all I have to point out that my absolute favorite manufacturer of toysoldiers is JohnJenkinsDesigns, maybe because of the lots of ranges that caught my interest. The different ranges concerning the FrenchIndianWar are absolutely stunning and the woodland Indians in my opinion are the best sculpted ones from all manufacturers. Maybe FirstLegion could be of more detail , but I like the style of JohnJenkins most.
But I also like the ranges of ConteCollectibles. The rangers are also fantastic and look like the ones from the movie „Northwest Passage“ with Spencer Tracy.. The small vignettes showing rangers and woodland Indians in hand to hand fight are also very cool.
So here are some pictures comparing both manufacturers.
Cheers
Mike

They are super Mike, a lovely collection and they all look good together. Good to hear you may be finally getting home, fingers crossed you get out on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Donnie.
DeleteOnce for your wishes for health and twice for liking this post. 🙋🏻♂️
I hope your return home is accompanied by returning health. Nice comparisons and the JJ look better inmy opinion though both excellent. May you get back to enjoying your hobby in the cooler air of the cellar.

Thank you very much, Stephen. Unfortunately I was told today that I will have to stay another two weeks in hospital. ☹️
DeleteI'm sorry to hear that and trust that they are taking good care of you.

Again many thanks, Stephen.
DeleteIt sucks, but it does not help. I am sure that the following two weeks won’t last too long.
Super looking figures Mike! It's good to hear you will be getting out of the hospital soon. Let's hope the major issues are behind you now. I can just imagine how much your looking forward to getting back to your miniatures.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christopher. 🙋🏻♂️
DeleteBut I got bad news today as I was told that I will have to stay at least two more weeks in hospital. Franz is going to bring over some Victrix miniatures for assembling.
That's disappointing..... It's very nice of Franz to bring you something to do.
DeleteYes, that’s true. But a fortnight is not very long and I will do it.
