Toys

Toy soldiers that is.

This has been an ongoing project for a while. It’s basically just for a good friend who wants a comprehensive collection of Napoleonic toy soldiers in 54mm. The idea was that there would be a couple of simple poses, but clothed in accurate and detailed uniforms.

It’s definitely an organic project, as they say (which essentially just means we’ve been modifying them constantly as things have gone awry or didn’t look right, or whatever). For instance, the next batch will have separate packs, arms and other bits that can attach to the body by a peg. Originally there was more in the way of creases and folds but that didn’t look right with the blobby heads and hands.

Good news though, apparently the owner of a miniatures store in Gettysburg saw them and said we should do Civil War versions, and if we did he would stock them. We’ll see how that pans out.

They are kind of a fun to do between other things. More of a mechanical process than the more naturalistic stuff.

Yikes, things look crap all blown up huge!
