Toysoldiers - JohnJenkinsDesigns - A comparison of the older and new versions of Roger´s Rangers

Manufacturer:   JohnJenkinsDesigns

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi,

one of my favorite manufacturers concerning Toysoldiers is "JohnJenkinsDesigns".

I like this company because of the ranges they offer for FrenchIndianWar and for their style of miniatures.

One of these ranges is called "Raid on St.Francis". It is an older range and JohnJenkins decided to give some more figures to it - especially some more versions of Roger´s Rangers. Here you can find some more information about "The Raid on St:Francis".

The new versions are a bit more filigrane and the faces are a bit smaller. But the older and the new versions do fit perfect in my opinion.

So here they are.


Cheers

Mike

The force of my collection of Roger´s Rangers so far. A mix of the old and the new versions

The "old" versions. Not complete as there are still some poses missing. I especially like the three
guys sitting next to the barrels.

The new versions. Again not complete.

Toysoldiers - "Tyrolean Rebellion" by PianoWargames - Newest additions

Manufacturer:   Piano Wargames

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hello to the followers of my blog.

Today´s post is again about some additions to my collection of 60mm Tyrolean Rebels.

This time the additions include one of the leaders of the Tyrolean Rebellion - the Capuchin priest Johann Simon Haspinger.

The other two figures are another Capuchin priest and a drummer. The last one was a real challenge, but it came out quite well.

I have been working on this projects for many months now. Always with longer interruptions. But meanwhile I was able to paint up at least sixteen Tyrolians, one single Bavarian light infantry man and one lonely Bavarian Dragoon. All in the size of 60mm. 

While arranging these miniatures for a quick photo shooting I realized that the Bavarians will need some support soon. :)

Cheers

Mike

And this is the force of rebels that followed Haspinger´s call by now.
