Carolyn and I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I am writing a short post before the end of the year. It is about updates with production and some previews of what is to come.

Earlier in the year I was selling some Confederate Marching sets at the Gettysburg Toy Soldier shows. I later resized the heads on half of the models. They are now ready for production. I was thinking of producing these in a few different scales. I tested the 54mm and 60mm figures yesterday.

Here are some of my Warhorse Confederates compared to other brands like Conte, Imex and Marx. The Brown Confederates above are around 60mm and the Grey are around 54mm.

Here are a few prototypes of some different teepees that I am working on. I am making a few changes, but they are just about finished. They will be made in two different sizes. The cost of the Teepees is $35 for the small ones and $50 for the bigger ones.

Here are some pictures of the teepee with different brands of plastic Native American Indians.

This is the Native American Gathers set. I might add another figure to this. So, the price will be either $30 for 6 miniatures or $35 if I add another. The scale is close to the Barzso villagers set. I will have some more Native American sets coming out earlier next year. You can use this set with for the Woodland Indians or Plains Indians. I was thinking of making these miniatures in a bigger scale, like 57mm to match some of the TSSD Plains Indians.

Here are the first 3 “Battle Sets” that I have been working on. These sets have been made to bring your dioramas alive. As time goes on, I will create more sets like this. The cost of each will be $15.

Things are coming along with the 3D workshop. I will start adding some sets in January & February. The Teepees will be available in March. I will have some at the Midwest Toy Soldier Show and probably 5 to 6 new sets by then. I am going over my older sets and will be revising some of them. Some will be discontinued and replaced altogether. That is it for now. Thank you for reading.

We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The last few months have been really busy. We had to find a new place to live, then pack, move and settle in. I am now ready to start production again with the Warhorse miniatures. I have some new sets in development. We will get to that later in this post.

But first we will look at some new plastic sets coming out next year. Austin Miniatures is going to release a new set of World War II American Marines for Pacific theater. The are 1/32 in scale.

Here are two new sets from the Russian company called Beleriand. The first set is of Crusaders and the second set is of Hussites. They made out of a rubbish type of resin and are in 1/32 scale.

Here are some French, British and Native Indians for the Battle of Snowshoes by Plastic Platoon. They are made out of the rubbish resin and the big 1/32 scale.

And lastly here is “Ivar the Boneless”, the son of Ragnar Lodbrok the famous Viking. Created by Tihon, made in Russia. I like the historical depiction of these miniatures.

I like to get pictures of how the collectors paint the miniatures that I have created. Here are some from a collector named Bruno from Switzerland.

Here are some pictures of the Warhorse French Marines and Canadian militia painted by Scott Campbell.

Here are some new prototypes of some Woodland Indian natives that I have been working on. I made these about two weeks ago in the new workshop. Things will be a little slower with the production because I am limited on the space to do the post prep work. Besides that, I am going to do less testing with different resins and just work with what I have. That will be mainly the grey, brown, green and blue resin mixtures that I have been using. It will be like this for another 2 years until I retire, and we move again.

Besides these figures, I am working on more French & Indian related projects. Plus, a bunch of other stuff that we will see next year.

We will be in Lafayette, Indiana on March 17th for the Midwest Toy Soldier Show, plus on March 15th & 16th for the Room trading too. I will start updating the website again with new products and some of the older sets. That is it for now. Thanks for reading.
