Toy Soldier & Model Figure | Issue 198
On the TS&MF front this month, U.S. collector Jack Matthews kicks things off by recounting how he first encountered Reiner Krock and started collecting the German craftsman’s solid-cast figures.
A.J. Mergenthaler saddles up for a look at the French Chasseurs à Cheval of the Imperial Guard.
Stephen Dance, president and archivist of the British Model Soldier Society (BMSS), provides a peek at two collections in Italy and England. He describes a recent visit to a toy soldier museum in Bologna. Then he draws some comparisons with his own Society’s National Collection, now 40 years old.
Elsewhere inside this edition, Colin Romanick delivers a report on the inaugural
W. Britain Model Figure Symposium staged in historic Gettysburg, Pa., Aug. 8-10, 2014. It was the perfect spot for an American Civil War-themed weekend filled with seminars, displays, sneak peeks at upcoming releases and more.
History and collecting converge in an article about the Allied and Axis leaders of World War II. Curtis Sleight profiles the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to the heads of state.
As usual, there’s lots more in store in this edition, so please start turning the pages, enjoy and, as always, happy collecting!
