Toysoldiers - FrenchIndianWar - French Artillery

Manufacturers:   JohnJenkinsDesign and FrontlineFigures

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi, 

today´s post is about my toysoldier´s collection of FrenchIndianWar Artillery from the French Army.

It is a mixture of mostly JohnJenkinsDesign and also a set of FrontlineFigures. As I have been told JohnJenkins used to sculpt miniatures for FrontlineFigures before he started his own company. Especially the figures of the ranges of the FIW of FrontlineFigures was done by JohnJenkins. So in fact all figures within this post had been done by JohnJenkins.

There are also some pictures for comparison of both manufacturers. The figures fit very well but in my opinion the miniatures of JohnJenkinsDesign look better in style.

Cheers

Mike

The complete collection of JohnJekinsDesign French Artillery from the range
"Battle on the plains of Abraham" or "Battle of Quebec"

Some more pieces of artillery and on the right you can see the set of FrontlineFigures.

The French Artillery integrated into the display shelf.

The same photo again but with some flashlight that looks a bit better

The set of FrontlineFigures. Very interesting because of the jackets lying on the ground


A comparison of the guns of JJD on the left and FrontlineFigures on the right

A closer look for better comparison on the style of miniatures.
1,3 and 4 are Frontline, 2 and 5 are JohnJenkinsDesign.

JohnJenkinsDesign - "Battle of the Plains of Abraham"

Manufacturer:   JohnJenkinsDesigns

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi,

just a short post about today´s arrival - some reinforcements for my collection of FIW-figures from JohnJenkinsDesign. I was lucky to win an auction on eBay for a very good price. 

These figures are from the range of  "Battle of the Plains of Abraham" and I love the style of uniforms. SevenYearsWar and FrenchIndianWar are my favorite interest.

I will always remember the date of this battle as the British climbed up the hills in the night of September 12th. That´s the birthday of my first daughter. The battle took place on September 13th.

And there is another date I will always remember, too. The date of the battle of Rossbach on November 5th.. This is the birthday of my second daughter.

For the ones who are interested in the "Battle of the Plains of Abraham" - just follow this link.
