Mark Copplestone will be releaseing these utterly charming miniature's
link I love the simplistic sculpts They remind me of the Britain's toy soldiers of years past but i don't see my self buying them any time soon but how about you? Do they appeal? Do you think their is a market for them? |

Extremely tempting but I have waaayyyy too much unpainted lead already |

I was all set to buy, but decided against the interwar period. I've done too many Spanish Civil War armies. I'd ranted 1880-1900, more Prisoner of Zenda. |

nnascati, exactly. Service caps, flat-topped kepis, and pickelhaube; bolt-action rifles and revolvers; must include the horsed cavalry; and sabres for the officers… |

Very tempting, however I decided not to order some when I saw that they were 30mm. Why can't they be 28mm so that they can work with the Copplestone figures that I already have? I would add more miniatures to my interwar period collection, but not in a new size. |

Kevin C, they are a totally different very retro style. |

Seems this is just the beginning link |

I've long been tempted to start a late 19th century imaginations project so I'd have had a hard time resisting these if they weren't inter war as it is I'm safe for now. |

Time for a Tin Tin fantasy – without the overt xenophobia. |

Nice link, Quatermass. I do like the Serbians, but I am much more interested in the "Revolution in Ruritania" range mentioned in the link. I think I'll have to pass on this release. |
MacColla | 23 Aug 2022 9:19 a.m. PST |
At 20mm I would have been interested in these; but not 30mm. |
Grelber | 23 Aug 2022 9:29 a.m. PST |
There are a few figures that look like they might fit in with my other armies, if the 28m to 30mm size difference doesn't work out to be too great. Grelber |

It does not bother me at all that these are in 30mm. Will go with my collection of SAE figures. They are intended to be different from current 28mm as a toy soldier scale. I would love to buy them if I did not already have 50,000 painted figures that I do not get to play with, and another 10,000 unpainted. If I were not retired on a fixed, low income. If there were not so many to choose from. I could sell some of my current children (the 50k) but which ones? What to do with the new ones? I might get a few because they are so damm cool. |

I love this style and to be honest had never thought about doing the interwar period. Now I am seriously considering it. I've always dreamt of 48-figure Spencer-Smith regiments, but now plan to do that via 3-D printing (nor Spencer-Smith, obviously). I think I'm going to enlist the help of my extended family and put just one thing on my birthday and xmas list: this new range of figures. |

I really love this range and think it is inspired. I hope people keep buying them so he expands it. Love the Marx mini! |

link 3rd wave out and a 4th wave in the works |
Soundchaser | 18 Nov 2022 1:38 p.m. PST |
Aren't these even bigger than 30mm? |
Soundchaser | 20 Nov 2022 3:09 p.m. PST |
Ah I see yes 30mm. There was another range featured somewhere I thought was these. |
