My latest figures
Permalink   

Hi Guys

I have listed the next two WW1 figures in my range of 54mm figures at www.tommyswar.com

These are images of the first two castings, and are with the box painter and these are the preparation images he has submitted to his blog as a 'step-by-step'

I'd be interested in your feedback

Those are excellent figures, Sir, and thank you for bringing them to my attention. I don't have any 54mm figures because I am severely lacking painting talent, but I'm sure you will have a lot of interest in these works of art.

In case your link doesn't work, may I take the liberty of posting this link:

I believe the new figures are numbered TW54003 and TW54004 (but numbers 1 and 2 are not to be missed!).

Thanks for placing that link and for your kind words.

Yes, figures TW54003 and TW54004 are new, they are:

 

TW54003 - Bombadier, Royal Horse Artillery, Mons 1914

TW54004 - Captain, 4th Battalion Royal Fusiliers, Mons 1914

 

The following two figures are also being sculpted which are a Sergeant of the 2nd Battalion Suffolk Regiment at Le Cateau 1914 and a Private of the Gordon Highlanders at Le Cateau.

All you fellow WW1 enthusiasts can now see the chronology developing!

Excellent work.  I look forward to the continued series.    Have you a distributor in the US ?

The sculpting is very good actually;  I wish you would consider an ambitious project like an 18 Pdr.   There really isn't a decentluy detailed one out there.

Thanks again everyone.

Rob - yes I got your images thanks, that's still a project very much on the table. Things have been a little mad for a few weeks with work and everything, but its back on.

28 - I am working on getting a US Distributor, I am close to agreement with one whom I am hoping will take the figures when 3 and 4 are released. The idea of the 18 pounder is certainly something I am considering, I would like to produce the gun, limber and full crew - but I need to see if its feasible commercially.

On the distributor front, I have got a distributor now in Australia.

After getting my first two figures I am looking forward to the release of the Gordon Highlander. Will there be any mounted figures ( Scots Grey ) in the future line up of releases' ?

If I may be so bold,  allow me to recomment the following US miniatures dealer:

     The Red Lancers  /  website:  www.redlancers.com

If your current USA distribution plans do not come to pass,  give Chuck a try.

Thanks for the link to Red Lancers, setting up more overseas distributors is key to expanding the range.

I had thought that Tommy's War would perhaps be popular mostly in the UK, but it has evolved in to a worldwide phenomenum with buyers from all corners of the globe!

With regard to cavalry and horses, thats not planned yet, but is something I am seriously considering. Cavalry not only played its part on the Western Front but in Gallipoli and Mespotomia as well, and of course transport was also reliant on horses and mules etc (and of course camels!).

I'll make a point of updating here, but please keep posting your ideas and comments as I will always take in to account anything thrown at me!

As a collector/builder of Scale Link offerings I must confess my selfish motives.  Now that John Piper has been gone these seven years,  no competent sculpter has steped forward to continue his pioneering work of the Great War( in the tradition scale ).

No one has offered an 18 Pdr that assembles the barrel & breech seperately from the recuporator/slide.   And no one,  in any scale has correctly captured the unique spoke arrangement of the 2nd Class C #45 wheel.

If we're making suggestions, how about troopers from the Palestine theatre, or infantry at Gallipoli? No-one does anything (that I've seen) from the middle eastern conflict and I'd LOVE to do a foot or cavalry figure in 54mm: pith helmet, khaki drill, blue shirt etc etc.

 

Just realised I'm wrong: Minituras Andreas do a British Officer, which ain't that great.  Suddenly remembered I made the bugger about 15 years ago!

And I think someone makes an equally uninspiring TE Lawrence piece.  And there's one on a camel, too.  But APART from those (and Metal Modeles Aussie in a life preserver): nothing!

I will say that Dardanelles will definately be in the mix. I agree with you that the subject has not been covered and I will without doubt cover the Lancashire Fusiliers at Gallipoli.

I'll also cover Anzacs and other colonial troops, and won't forget other theatres such as East Africa, Eqypt, Mespotomia, Italy and Russia

A Warwickshire Yeomanry figure will also be a shoe-in!

TW54001 looks like Donald Fagen.
This no criticism, I love Steely Dan...

... and I love these figures, too. smile
