Toysoldiers - Kronprinz Toy Soldiers

Manufacturer:   Kronprinz Toy Soldiers

Scale:   60mm (1:30)

Today I got three figures of the manufacturer "Kronprinz Toy Soldiers" from Spain. I have ordered them about one month ago and as this manufacturer is a smaller one it took some time to get my delivery. 

Someone told me on Facebook that this company used to produce figures for DelPrado. I don´t know if this is correct but it might be true comparing the style of the figures.

These are my first figures from this producer and I wanted to give them a try. I have seen these three Celts on the homepage of the company and decided to buy them for my collection of Late Republican Romans fighting the Celts aud Gauls.

In my opinion the painting style is not as clean as from the other companies. Especially the eyes and faces are not as good as those from other figures. But they do look good and fit well to the style and size of the miniatures of the other manufacturers. 

So - here they are.

Cheers

My small collection of Celts and late Republican Romans so far. On the left you can see the new
figures from Kronprinz Toy Soldiers.

The Kronprinz figures on their own.

There are at least three Celts in the range at the moment. At least I didn´t 
find more on the homepage.

This naked warrior was a must-have.

The second warrior.

And the third one.

Toysoldiers - "Tyrolean Rebellion" by PianoWargames - Just three more figures painted

Manufacturer:   PianoWargames

Scale:   60mm (1:30)

Hi,

just painted up at least three more figures for my collection concerning the Tyrolean Rebellion. The figures are all from PianoWargames, created and owned by Lucas Luber. The figures are normally scaled in 28mm and as you maybe have seen in a former post I also use them in this scale for my project of "Shakos and Bayonets". But I also scale them up to 60mm in order to integrate them into my collection of toysoldiers.

It is always fun to paint these figures and I think they came out quite well.

At the moment I am searching for a perfect way to display the figures. There are two empty shelves within my two bigger showcases left and so I gave one of them to the topic "Tyrolean Rebellion". As the collection is growing it is not very clever to build a final layout at the moment. So the arrangement is kept modular to be able to change it to the collection´s needs.

I also posted these figures in a group on facebook and was asked how they fit to Napoleonic figures of other manufacturers like King&Country. I recognized that the only Napoleonic figures I have within my collection is the range of Napoleonic Soldiers by DelPrado. I don´t have Napoleonics from my other preferred manufacturers. So you will find some pictures of my selfpainted Tyroleans next to the ready painted figures of JohnJenkins, King&Country, DelPrado, TeamMiniatures, FirstLegion, ConteCollectibles and WilliamBritains. Though only DelPrado is the right period of warfare I recognized that the figures of PianoWargames do really harmonize with all of the other manufacturers.

What do you think about this?

Cheers

My collection of selfpainted Tyroleans and Bavarians in their actual display - to be changed at the 
collecion´s needs.

I was lucky to find some very suitable trees on eBay.

The Bavarians will need some reinforcements, too.

One of my two bigger cabinets for my figures. As you can see there is still 
a lot to do.

The second cabinet with the last empty shelf. But I am sure this one is going
to be filled with figures soon. It´s the choice between one more shelf for
FIW or at least one for AWI.
