Toysoldiers - "Tyrolean Rebellion" by Piano Wargames - Colonel of the 2nd Bavarian Dragoons

Manufacturer:   PianoWargames

Scale:    60mm (1:30)



Hi again,

After having painted seventeen Tyrolians so far and only two Bavarians it was time to start with some reinforcements for the Bavarian army.
My single dragoon now got a Colonel and another four troopers are on the workbench.

Toysoldiers - King&Country - British Army in the "American War of Independence"

Manufacturer:   King&Country

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi, 

As you all know in 2026 there will be the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the AmericanWar of Independence. So I thought it was time to set my British Army from the ranges of King&Country into scene.

I was lucky to find the mounted officer last week on eBay and got it for 22,50€. The seller told that the horse´s tail was broken. But when the figure arrived yesterday I recognized that the miniature not only had a broken tail, but also must have fallen down some time. The base was also damaged, the figure was crooked and at some areas the paint was chipped off.

So I had to bend the figure straight, to repaint some areas and to glue the tail at its place.
Remembering the price of the figure this little invest of repairs was worth it. Included to the collection the damages won’t be seen.

Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy new year with a lot of time and fun with our hobby.



Cheers


Mike
