I hope everyone is doing well. It has been a while since my last post. There has been a lot going on and I have not had the time to sit down and finish this. This post is about the 1st Gettysburg show. You will have a good idea of things that you might find at the next show. Which is on Sunday, August 23rd, 2026. That is about a week away.

The last show had a huge crowd attending. I think it was almost 300 people that attended. Most of the vendors were happy. We were very busy too.

We start with some random pictures from one of the antique dealers that a lot of plastic toy soldiers.

Talking about antiques, Christian Keller brings a huge selection of antique toy soldiers.

Not all the vendors are professional sellers. A lot are collectors like you that for various reasons decided that they need to thin out or sell off their collections. This gentleman had a lot of display pieces and toy soldiers that he had painted & created.

Here is a vendor that had a lot of vintage plastic toy soldiers and some that he had painted too.

And here are some pictures from the man of the hour, Steve Connell. He usually has a nice blend of painted Metal and vintage plastic toy soldiers are good prices.

Here are some random pictures that one vendor was offering.

Here is another vendor with a lot of vintage plastic and some metal toy soldiers.

Jack Eagan usually brings a bunch of painted metal and some plastic toy soldiers too. Here are some pictures of mainly John Jenkins figures.

Rick Eber as usual had a bunch of vintage plastic playsets and toy soldiers. Mainly Marx, but he has other brands too, like Barzso and sometimes Conte. He will have something new at every show, as he is always acquiring something new to resell.

This vendor had some nice Britain Deetail toy soldiers.

Hobby Bunker had a mini store setup up. He brings a little of everything that the hobby has to offer.

Rob Hornung is a wonderful craftsman who produces handcrafted & painted miniatures. He has a lot of unique themed sets.

Here are some random pictures of the show.

Paul Knapp was selling his custom playset at Gettysburg. It was based on the Battle of Fredericksburg. The set is really nice; I purchased one of them. I made some new Civil War miniatures to use with this playset which I will have with me next Sunday. Paul also was selling some 3d printed toys and some custom terrain pieces he had made.

Larry Lovely had a bunch of loose Plastic toys to search through.

And talking about loose toy soldiers, there were a lot of vendors that containers of toys to search though that were loose or in bags.

Here are some more random pictures from the show.

Here are some pictures of what Mark Hegeman had with him.

Here are some random pictures of painted metal toy soldier products. The Gettysburg show does have a nice mixture of everything that the hobby of toy soldier collecting has to offer. From plastic & metal toy soldiers, die-cast vehicles, foam terrain pieces, vintage toys and reference books to help you paint. Plus, models, hand crafted miniatures & sculptures and maybe some wargaming things. And a great selection of 3d historical miniatures…

Here are some pictures of some models, toys and metal cannons.

Nate’s Garage also is a wonderful craftsman. He makes some one-of-a-kind metal unique products.

Here are some random photos of some old & vintage toy soldiers. Most look like hand cast metal and a couple are plastic.

Some more random pictures of vintage plastic toys.

Graig Remington had a load of vintage plastic figures and playset for sale too.

We were not the only vendors selling 3d printed products. There was a company that is making animals and figures in different scales.

The show was busy until around 1pm and then things settled down. I did not spend too much time walking around as much. Paul Stadinger had stopped by to visit us again. He will usually use us as a base and then go searching for treasures. It is always great to see him.

On the last row to the left there is a lot of vintage plastic toy soldiers and playsets. This is one of those vendors.

Here is another one of the vendors on the left, in the rear corner. He has always had plenty of vintage soldiers and playsets too.

It was nice to see W. Britain was at the show. The had a nice selection of their painted metal toy soldiers.

Latest News! ~ 03/31/2026, Midwest Toy Soldier Show Review Part 2 ~ The Show, and Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / Leave a comment
Indoor market scene with numerous tables displaying vintage toys and collectibles. Attendees browse products amidst a crowded hall.

I hope everyone is doing well these days. We will review the Midwest Toy Soldier show in this post. This is the 2nd part of the review of the show overall; the 1st part was a few days ago (Latest News! ~ 03/26/2026, Midwest Toy Soldier Show, Room Trading Review, LOD Bunker Hill Preview and More.) and it focused on the room trading. In about a week or so, I will finish the review with a 3rd part that will deal with all the items I had picked up.

We will start the review with Jim Clouse & his brother’s tables. They had a nice battle board, I think they were looking at $80 for that. It was a really nice piece.

Steve Connell usually has boxes of painted metal sets, bags of Barzso, Marx or other vintage plastic toy soldiers and playsets with him at good or fair prices.

And as usual, Rick Eber had a bunch of vintage playsets, plastic toy soldiers, and toys. Mainly Marx, but he had other brands too.

Some random pictures from some different tables.

Next, we have Rich Egan’s tables. He usually has a mixture of vintage Marx, Barzso and Conte.

Collector Brian Gerber had a table of different toys that he was selling.

Rob Hornung always has some beautiful hand crafted and painted miniatures & toys. He creates them in different topics that range from Sci-Fi to Ancient civilizations. They are very unique & one of a kind. I think most of them are cast or made out of metal.

More random pictures.

The was one table with custom Lego minifigs.

Dealer Boyd Moore had a bunch of King & Country toy soldiers & products with him.

Morehouse Military Miniatures had some resin castings and a handmade fort. They were scaled for wargaming.

Some more random pictures from a few different tables.

Nate’s Garage always has some interesting toys. He hand crafts and paints them too.

Bill Richardson had some vintage playset for sale at good prices.

Rod & his son Tara Roberts had some vintage toy soldiers & toys for sale.

More random pictures from a couple of tables.

Joe Saine had a bunch of antique toys & miniatures with him. Some rare and hard to find items here. Plus, some newer products.

There was a vendor with some 12 inch military figures with him. I did not get a chance to talk with him about them, but they look nice.

Gary Wendeln had some nice toys for sale. Some were rare. He usually has vintage European & Barzso products with him.

More random pictures from a couple of different tables.

The doors opened early this year because there was a lot of people waiting to get in. Probably around 9:30am or maybe earlier. We were really busy until around 1pm. After that, things died. At this point, I was able to walk around to start taking some pictures of the show and talk to some of the vendors. But it wasn’t too long before the show was over and we started to pack up.

We will end the review of the show with our tables. We had 3 tables again in the right rear corner. I had traded for a foam ruined building with Brian Gerber that I used as a display piece and is now part of my collection. The classic Monsters were really popular and so was the new WWII sets.

The room trading was a lot better for us this year than the show itself. We had fun talking to old friends and meeting new ones. This is one of our favorite shows because it takes place over a few days. And it is a relaxed setting where you can take your time looking through things without feeling your being rushed. It is great if you are a plastic collector, but you can find some really good deals if you are a metal collector too. It is really a treasure hunt, not knowing what you will find. As we will see in the next article I do about the show with all the goodies I had found.

In a few weeks we will be heading to Gettysburg. We will have most of the same products that we had at the Midwest show and maybe something new. The classic Monsters will be in different colors. It should be another great show this year. There will be 100 tables for the show, they are all sold out. Here is a list of the vendors listed below.

Latest News! ~ 01/18/2026, New Products, Vintage TimMee Army Men and some Hobby News.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 2 Comments

I hope everyone is doing well. Now that I have more time I am going to try to post more blog posts this year. In this post, I will share with you what I found last week while I was out for my Birthday and then we will discuss some updates and hobby news.

We spent the day in the town of DeBois, looking around and stopping at a couple of Antique stores. It is not too far from us, and since we never really have been there, we wanted to see what it was like. In one of the antique stores, I found a bag of Vintage TimMee Army Men from the original molds. The Marching pose and the Soldier with the grenade were in this lot of 54 Soldiers that I got for $10. The original mold was damaged at some point, and the marching pose was lost & the grenade guy became the waving guy with his hand open instead of holding a grenade. Some were broken, but almost all of them are in very good condition.

There were 5 Marching poses in the bag. I will say about 1 out of 10 times I see a bag of TimMee Army Men they are the newer version. And luckily the rifles were not broken too. About half of the time, I find a marching pose the rifle is broken. This pose is one that I can reuse in multiple setups. If you want to read more about the History of the TimMee soldiers click on this link, TimMee Army Blog: U.S. Soldiers • Series IV. You can also buy new TimMee Toys over here with this link, https://timmeeusa.com/.

I also found these big Native American Indians by Ajax. Kent Sprecher informed me about the maker. I usually do not collect the big toy soldiers. I guess they are around 6 inches. But I like the blue plastic these were made and the sculpting style. They were almost $14 for the 3 figures.

I keep testing new resin mixtures. And I will start using the burnt orange color for the Saxons & Native Americans. I will be adding a few more sets tomorrow. But here are some of what is available now, click on the links posted below.

WWII US Paratroopers Set 1 – 58mm Green Resin | Warhorse Miniatures

WWII US Paratroopers Set 1 – 58mm Grey Resin | Warhorse Miniatures

WWII US Paratroopers Set 1 – 60mm Green Resin | Warhorse Miniatures

Viking Raiders Set – 1/32 Resin | Warhorse Miniatures

Ojibwe Native Villagers Set – 54mm Resin | Warhorse Miniatures

French Marines 1755 – Ambush Set – 54mm Resin | Warhorse Miniatures

So far, we are set to go to the Midwest & Gettysburg Toy Soldier Shows. I am waiting for Matt Murphey to get back to me about the Chicago Toy Soldier Show. We are planning to attend the MFCA Show in Trevose, PA too. We will have more information about the shows in coming posts.

I just saw today that Airfix is re-issuing some of the old WWII sets in 1/32 scale again. It looks like they will have the WWII British Commandos, WWII British Infantry Support and WWII German Mountain Troops this year. Sometime in the summer. I wonder if the plastic will be different.

And in 1/76 scale they are re-issuing the Romans, Ancient Britons, Robin Hood and Sheriff of Nottingham sets. Plus, the Roman Fort and Sherwood Castle sets.

Thank you for reading. I should have an update in about 2 weeks. Keep Checking the store page for new products. Take Care for now.

Warhorse Miniatures WWII US Paratroopers

It has been a while since I have written a post. Since around Thanksgiving, I have had the time to finish setting up the 3d workshop and start testing new products. It has not been easy the past few weeks with all the cold weather we have had. I have been multi-tasking between splitting wood for the wood stove, doing normal things around the house, eBay and the 3d printing. Over the next few weeks, I will be re-opening the webstore with new products and some of the older products.

The Vikings Raiders are back. Some things were adjusted, like the seax knives. They are now thicker. We added the Head Taker model to the mix. There is going to be only one Viking Raider set and in the future, I will add some more sets.

I have been testing new resin mixtures. I will start making the Vikings in this color. The size is around 58mm, they blend well with Conte Vikings. The price of this set is still $49. As the year goes on there will be a lot of new medieval sets. First, we will have the Vikings & Saxons and then some Normans. There should be around a dozen new medieval sets coming over the new few months.

We will have a bunch of new Native American sets for the French & Indian War era. Plus, some French, British and Canadian sets too. They will be scaled to be around 54mm so you can mix them with your Barzso toy soldiers. The above set is the Ojibwe Native Villager set. It will cost $36.

After about 2 years or so the WWII US Paratroopers are ready for production. First in 60mm & 58mm, then in a few weeks they will be available in 54mm. The price of the 60mm set is $72, 58mm set is $64, and 54mm set will be $56. The are 6 different models in 8 poses. Some models are taller than others, but in the same scale. The last model was made to be a little thicker. The first two sets are based on a rifle platoon.

The 60mm scale blends well with the W. Britain toy soldiers and the 58mm models blend well with the plastic Conte toy soldiers.

Here is a preview of the 2nd set of American Paratroopers.

We hope everyone is doing well and staying warm. Over the next few days, I will start adding the new sets to the website store. In my next post I have some updates on the Saxon sets and some other Native American sets. We will see everyone at the Midwest Show, Gettysburg Shows, Chicago Show and a few others this year. Take Care for now and thank you for reading.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / Leave a comment

I hope everyone is doing well these days. It has been a while since my last post. We had been busy searching for a house, we purchased a house and now are in the process of moving. Earlier this month I closed the website store. After I have the new workshop setup to start production again, hopefully in September. We will be at the Gettysburg Toy Soldier show on August 24th, 2025. More information about the show can be found here, The Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show 2025 ~ Sunday, August 24th..

Because we have been busy it has been hard to get new products created. But it has not stopped the designing of new products. I have been working on a lot of new medieval miniatures. Mainly Saxons and Normans. So far, the Huscarls are in production and now we are bringing back the Saxon Spears sets. A few of the old models are mixed with new models. Some of the old models had been changed a little too with new helmets.

I will have some sets of Saxon Spears Set #1 with me at Gettysburg.

Saxon Spears #2 will be released at the end of September.

The Saxon Huscarls set will be added in September. I will also have some of these sets at Gettysburg.

The Viking Raiders set will be back too. There are 7 models that are great for a raiding scene. Most are in motion. We added the “Head Taker” model to the set. I am reworking some of the older models and will have a bunch of new models coming late fall or in the winter.

Over the last few months of the year, you will see more Saxons, Vikings and then Normans. Plus, some WWII American Paratroopers and finally the French & Indian War British & French. I reworked some of the poses and have new ones too.

We hope to see you at the Gettysburg Toy Soldier show on Sunday August 24th. It will be the last show of the year for us. Next year will be attending the Chicago Toy Soldier Show.

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

Latest News! ~ 05/19/2025, Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show 2025 Review

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 1 Comment

It’s been a couple of weeks since the Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show. I finally found some time to do a review. It was a rainy day, but the crowds were nice in the beginning. That lasted to around noon and then everyone started to trickle out. Our sales were down, but we still did good. Others said they had a slow day. There were plenty on nice products and some good deals.

I spent most of the day talking to fellow collectors. I did not get a chance to look around until the end and took some pictures. As usual there was plenty of plastic. But there were enough new and old painted metal soldiers too.

I think these pictures were taken from Eric Kohl’s tables. He usually has antique metal and some modern toy soldiers.

There were some collectors selling custom & vintage playsets, John Jenkins & Conte soldiers without the boxes and some with them. Plus, military uniform items for reenactors or just to have in your collection.

Talking about collectors. There were plenty of them selling off parts of their collections. One gentleman that was across from us had some nice items.

Plenty of storage containers to search through. Some nice foam pieces and lots of tanks around.

As usual Rick Eber had plenty of nice vintage toy soldiers and playsets with him.

Another vendor had a bunch of vintage plastic toy soldiers and playsets.

Matt from Hobby Bunker had part of his store with him.

One collector had some really nice toy soldiers to pick through.

Rob Hornung had his custom made & painted toy soldiers with him. Some really unique items.

Here are more random pictures of different products that were available. As I go through the pictures there are a few things that I had missed that I wished I had picked up.

It was nice to meet Paul Knapp again. He had some really nice custom themed playset boxes with him at a good price. Plus, the nice custom-made terrain pieces with him. I picked up a couple from him. In my next post I will take some pictures of them and some other stuff that I have found recently.

More random pictures.

Rick Lipp had some nice vintage products with him.

Another collector had a bunch of vintage Airfix toy soldiers and other brands for sale.

Larry Lovely had plenty of toy soldiers to pick through.

Mark Hegeman also had some really nice vintage toys with him.

Nate had some great custom-made toys too.

Paul Stadinger and Erwin Sells setup at the show this year. The last time Paul setup was about 20 years ago. They had a lot of plastic and Erwin brought a bunch of tanks.

Steve Connell had some nice metal sets for sale.

There was a collector selling a bunch of Warhammer miniatures. One day I will paint my Warhammer armies.

We will end the review with our tables. I had a few new products with me. The medieval Saxons & Vikings were popular; we sold them all. There are more medieval Saxons, Vikings, Normans and Peasants that will be available later this year.

We do not plan on attending any other shows this year. Right now, we have to many things going on to commit to anymore. We are searching to buy a house and hopefully we will be moved before the end of the fall. There will be a lapse in production again this year, but the designing will continue. There is a lot more to come. That is it for now. Thank you for reading.

Here are some random pictures of different tables.

Here are some of the military items available to purchase.

Here are some of the models available at the show. There were more tables set up like this at the show.

Some more random pictures of different tables.

Here are some of the vintage plastic toy soldiers available at the show.

Here are more random pictures from different tables.

There were also a bunch of die cast tanks and vehicles at the show too.

Plus, some foam terrain foam pieces too.

Here are some pictures of the vintage or collectible toys for sale.

Here are some pictures of some nice old toy soldiers.

Here are my tables set up for the show. We have started putting most of the sets in boxes. I will still have some items in the plastic bags with the header card. We had a nice time talking to collectors and looking around. I saw a few rare items and there were some good deals. We will be back next year.

Here are some of the toy soldiers I picked up. I picked up the W. Britian German Paratrooper for $30. The Airfix Indians was $8, and the lot of vintage plastic figures was $4.

The Latest News!! 05/26/2024, MFCA Show review, and some Hobby News.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / Leave a comment

In remembrance of Memorial Day, we Americans honor all of those who have died in service to the United States during war and peace.

In the beginning of the month, we attended the 81st Annual MFCA Show & Mart. It was over two days. This show is not like the toy soldier shows we attend. The competition is the highlight of this event. The mart is just part of it. The cost of the show was $20 for both days. It is more expensive than toy soldier shows. It includes the competition too. You will find a lot of unpainted metal & resin figures. Some painted metal toy soldiers and a few plastic toys soldiers. But you can find some nice items. That being said let us begin the review.

Aaron Elson was at the show again selling military related books about WWII veterans, including his Father. The stories they had to tell about their experiences from the war.

Digital Realms Models and Toys was selling vintage toys, model kits and books.

Eugene Hanin of DVH Design or Tin Toy Soldiers, was at the show this year. He had a bunch of metal casted miniatures from Russia. The details were really sharp and at a good price.

Foggy Bottom Miniatures had casted metal miniatures from brands like Sanderson, Monarch, Rose and other brands. He is getting more Sanderson molds and from other brands. The castings are really nice.

Next, we have Hobby Bunker. Matt had his mobile store with him again. There were vintage plastic toy soldier sets, new plastic & painted metal toy soldier and everything else the hobby offers.

Military Matters was there with a bunch of military reference books.

George from Minutemen Toy Soldiers had painted medal toy soldiers from all the major brands.

Northern Warden Gaming had a bunch of plastic bits so you could build custom miniatures.

Dr. Christian Keller of Old Toy Soldiers had a bunch of antique toys and toy soldiers.

Here are some pictures of random vendors.

The Patriot of Lake George store had some nice military weapons and items. Plus, some nice toy soldiers too. You can see more at their website over here, http://www.patriotoflakegeorge.com/.

W. Britain was present too. They had some of the latest products and previews of what was to come. I took the opportunity to rejoin the Collector’s club. They are my favorite brand of painted metal toy soldiers.

We did well at this show. Warhorse Miniatures is a medium between a toy soldier and a military miniature. We try to be historically accurate but have some characteristics of a toy soldier like the bigger heads and hands. We had our latest products from the Plains Indian theme and French & Indian War theme.

I was only able to take a few pictures of the competition.

Our friend Steve Pyle won a few more awards again this year. Congratulations Steve!!

The Artist Keith Rocco was here also. He had some of his work available.

Butternut & Blue 54mm Union Civil War Toy Soldiers

Butternut & Blue 54mm Confederate Civil War Toy Soldiers

Huron Indians Set – 54mm Resin

Canadian Militia Set – 54mm Resin

Prone Canadian Militia – 54mm Resin

We added some new products to the web store this week and have acquired some of the Butternut & Blue Civil War products recently too. You can check out all the products available right now over here, Warhorse Miniatures Store page.

We wrap up another post. Over the next few months, we will be releasing new products and some of the older sets will get updated or re-run into production again. We are starting to use a new resin mixture that is stronger, more flexible and looks better too. The best part is the price has stayed the same for our products.

See you in August at Gettysburg. Thank you for reading.

The Latest News!! 02/27/2024, Midwest Toy Soldier Show.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / Leave a comment

In a few weeks we will be attending the Midwest Toy Soldier Show in Lafayette, Indiana. As usual, we will be bringing the latest Warhorse Miniatures products, Barzso Resin Toy Soldiers and some vintage toys. The Room Trading starts on Friday, March 15th and then continue on Saturday, March 16th. The show itself will be on Sunday, March 17th from 10am to 3pm. For more information about the show click on the link here, http://www.mwtoysoldier.com/.

The past few months we have been busy testing things and filling orders. Plus making things for the next show. The main theme of this year will be the Wild West.

I am having different Plains Indian tribes created. The first tribe will be the Sioux Indian tribe. The Plains Indians will be scaled to match the TSSD Plains Indians with is around 57mm. Also, later on they will be made to match the Barzso & Airfix Indians with are around 54mm. The 57mm set with be $48. The cost for the set in 54mm will be $40.

I am creating a Plains Indian village with different teepees and villager sets throughout the year. The cost of the “Buffalo Skinners” will be $25. It will consist of 2 Native Women and 2 different Buffalo skin props. I am still working on things, so some things might change. Like in the “Open Teepee”, I am thinking of adding a few miniatures to go with it.

Here are some more different variants of the teepee. Some are made out of canvas and others with Buffalo skins. The sizes vary from 155mm to 165mm. The price for the teepees will be $45 a piece.

We are also continuing to work on the French & Indian War theme. There will be a new Huron Indian set, Marching British Grenadier & Foot sets, Canadian Militia set, Prone Canadian figure, wounded Natives and more. There will be more British & Natives in a couple of months.

Lastly, here is an update on the long-term project of the WWII US Paratrooper. We have spent a lot of time on this project. Things are coming along nicely. I hope to have a set or two ready by the fall of 2024.

Time is flying by this year. When we get back from the Midwest Show we will be attending the Gettysburg show about a month later.

That is it for now. Thank you for reading.

The Latest News!! 12/24/2023, Merry Christmas and some Hobby News.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 3 Comments

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.
