Toysoldiers - FirstLegion´s US Continental 3rd Light Dragoons

Manufacturer:   FirstLegion

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi again,

"FirstLegion" is a manufacturer that offers one of the finest metal toysoldiers in the market. Also the boxes of the figures are very nice designed. But they are also one of the most expensive ones. 

I got these two figures on ebay for a good price - far under the original price. But I had to repair them because both figures had one of their hands broken. No problem. But while glueing I touched the bridle of one horse only lightly and broke this also. So another repair had been necessary. 

The best is to touch these figures very carefully, put them into a showcase and never move them again to avoid some more damages.

But they look extremely beautiful. For I am not very good in taking photographs I also put some pictures from the original website into this post.


Cheers

Mike

This is the whole collection of this unit - Now I own at least two of them.










Both figures integrated into my cabinet of my AWI Continentals of several manufacturers.

Toysoldiers - Starting the "Robin Hood"-range from King&Country

Manufacturer:   King&Country

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi,

Though the works on the Sarrissa Ranch are not finished yet (a lot to do in business) I got some more figures for my collection of toysoldiers. For I am not in work this week (due to a man´s cold) I was able to work on the Ranch a bit. So the next WIP on this project will be released soon on this blog.

In the meantime I am going to post some articles on my newest additions to my collection starting with some very nice figures from "King&Country" from their "Robin Hood"-range. A small start - but collecting these figures takes its time. I am always searching the web for good deals that are hard to find.

Cheers

Mike
