The Latest News!! 04/10/2022 ~ New Production, The Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show & some news.

The French Marine sets are now ready for production. I have just updated the store page with the Ambush Set. Soon the French Firing Line set will be added too. https://warhorseminiatures.com/product-category/warhorse-miniatures/

Anglo Saxons miniatures that are in production or near production.

I am in the process of adding more Saxons sets for production soon. Sometime in May I will add two Saxon (Fyrd) Shield Wall sets and a set of Archers. The Armed Saxon Peasants are already in production. Beginning in May, all the Saxons will be printed in Brown!!!

On Sunday, May 1st is the Gettysburg Toy Soldier show. It is a great show. There is mixture of plastic and painted metal toy soldiers. Both new and vintage. I will have the French Marines and Saxon Shield Wall sets available for purchase. Plus, some prototypes and Barzso/LOD products.

Krampus and the Wild Hunt…

There is a lot going on with Warhorse Miniatures these days. We have the new Saxon and French & Indian War sets coming out this spring. Then some Viking sets this summer. We will return to the Saxons this Fall and then for the Winter some more French & Indian War sets. Besides that, I continue to work on some older projects. Like the Blacksmith & Potter shops and the Viking Raiders camp. My workshop continues to expand. Soon I will be able to produce the tents, shops and other bigger things.

Well, that is it for now. Thank you for reading.

Midwest Toy Soldier Show 2022 Review ~ Part Two The Show & The Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show & hobby news..

Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show 2022

Last Sunday was the Midwest Toy Soldier Show. Here is my review of the show. I did a post about the room trading last week. If you missed that you could check it out over here, Midwest Toy Soldier Show 2022 Review ~ Part one Room Trading.

The crowd for the show was good. It wasn’t the biggest crowd that I have seen. But it was one of my best for selling. From 10am to around 1pm the foot traffic was consent. After that it died out. I had fun talking to fellow collectors about my new products and the hobby.

Atherton Scenics

We start the review with Atherton Scenics. John brought a bunch of his foam terrain pieces. I am using slide shows on some of my pictures. Some of them you can click on the arrows on the side to see another picture in case you didn’t know.

MicShaun’s Closet/TSSD

David Cook of MicShaun’s Closet had plenty of the TSSD bagged figure sets. He also had Russian plastic figures, LOD/Barzso toy soldiers and foam terrain pieces. Plenty to select from and at good prices.

Scott Canady & Willy Pickett

Scott Canday had plenty of Vintage playsets and Willy Pickett had his custom painted play mats.

Collector Scott Campbell.

Scott Campbell brought some figures that he had painted to show me. I like the choice of colors he uses and the style also.

Here are some random pictures of the show.

Curtis

Fellow collector named Curtis had a table next to me. He was selling a bunch of vintage toys.

Rich also brings a lot of vintage playsets and toy soldiers. He usually has some Barzso or Conte products. He is a great person to deal with.

Conte Roman Galley

Doug Wood had this Conte Roman Galley for sale.

Here are more random pictures of the show.

Hall Vendor

Besides the main room there were vendors in the hall. This year there were more collectors and vendors room trading and selling at the show. Maybe next year they could expand upstairs!! Not everyone brought toy soldiers. There were some vendors with action figures, comics, historical books and die cast cars.

Rob Hornung

Rob Hornung also had some amazing custom creations. The knights that he had with looked awesome. He sculpts, casts and paints his figures. They are made out of metal. The cost of the mounted knights ranged from $95 to $125.

Mike Kutnick

Mike still had some of the original Barzso products for the show. He almost sold everything the first two days prior with the room trading.

Morehouse Military Miniatures

Morehouse Military Miniatures had some nice resin cast and wooden home made wood products.

Paul Amody

Paul had the amazing Russian painted miniatures with him.

Here are some great pictures that fellow collector Ricky Cowell took.

Treefrog Treasures

Warhorse Miniatures

I had two tables at the show. Besides my own line of miniatures, I had Barzso/LOD resin figures, LOD plastic toy soldiers, Warhansa & Publius figures and some foam terrain pieces. I set up a little display of my products and some prototypes.

That is it for the review of the show. Like I said before I had a good time and can’t wait to return next year.

There is a Toy Soldier Show in New Jersey on April 23rd. I never been to this show. I hear it is good.

Here is the first set of French Marines that I will be adding to my online catalog next weekend. I took some pictures of them primed. I hope to start painting these soon.

Preview of French Marines Set #2

The miniatures are scaled about the same size as the Barzso figures. Each set will cost $42. I will take some pictures of the second set next week.

May 1st is the 14th Annual Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show. I will be there with my line of miniatures, Barzso figures, vintage toy soldiers and some foam products. You can read more about the Gettysburg show here The Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show 2022 or http://www.mwtoysoldier.com/.
