Hi all,

There are times when a customer’s order presents us with a mystery, in this case, it was the mystery of the missing Snake Charmer.

The order comes in and one of the items asked for is the Snake Charmer. There is not one in stock,so we check the mould catalogue to see which mould(s) hold the figure but when go to get from the rack we discover it is one of the Dorset moulds that have gone missing over the years.

Just in case we check 100 moulds either side of the one that is missing to no avail. Lots of swearing going on at this point!🤬

Just when all Hope seems lost we find a photograph of said Snake Charmer buried in the archives. The Snake Charmer is not a single figure per set but an amalgam of an Indian squatting and arms from the Band of Angels. The snake is rising out of a Britains plant tub. We also check in with Giles Brown to seek his wise guidance.

The required body, arms and plant pot are found and cast. I then get to make my first green stuff snake.

Hey presto, the Snake Charmer is recreated and one is on his way to the customer and I made another green stuff snake to go in a future mould.

Thanks gentleman for your support, as ever, it is greatly appreciated.Alan Green, Barry Rigby

Hi all,

We are pleased to announce that the website is available again. Huzzah.

We have focussed on making the Dorset Model Soldier Company ranges available first as they represent the largest proportion of our business. The Little Wars Revisited ranges are also available because I have a soft spot for them.

Our pricing for these ranges has been reviewed taking in to account current costs etc and there are changes with increases and some decreases across the ranges.

The other ranges – All the Queen’s Men (AQM), Eastpoint Miniatures, GNM Miniatures and 1897 Miniatures will be made available over time. The AQM catalogue is available on the website.

Customers who are interested in purchasing figures from these ranges should contact us directly.

Our next task is to begin increasing the number of product photographs on the website. We have some ready to load but this will be an ongoing process for quite a while.

Thanks to you all for your continuing support

Antony and Anita

Hi all,

It’s chaos here at HQ, we have joiners, roofers and decorators doing a number of jobs all over the house!

Thought I would share a couple of projects I have been working on between casting and painting.

We have a customer who travel to lots of countries and on his return likes to have toy soldiers for that country. His latest trip was to Greece, so we cast some Evzone for him but he wanted a standard bearer as part of the group. We don’t do one, so had to do a little conversion work.

The other project is mine. One of the advantages of owning a toy soldier business is being able to scratch a ‘wargaming itch’. I have been reading the One Hour Skirmish wargame rules by John Lambshead and fancied giving them a go. Instead of being sensible and using any of the figures I have in my cabinet I decided that I wanted the Foreign Legion to face off against the Arabs. Some casting and conversion work done and I have a small FFL skirmish force on the painting table.

A big thank you to this week’s top fans! 💎Alan Green, Barry Rigby
