Norman's WW1 Collection

 Norman Paterson has shared some more images of his extensive and beautiful collection of military figures.  This time it is the First World War, with a mix of french, German and British figures set up in the most dramatic and striking poses.  

The figures are a mix of Britains and King and Country castings. Although not historically accurate given the mix of figures, the display is quite stunning.

ECW by Norman

 Norman recently sent me some more pictures from his vast collection of 1/32 scale figures.  In this case we have a force of Royalist troops forming a last ditch defence against a Parliamentary assault.  I think the figures are mostly from the 'A Call to Arms' range. Very fine they look too:

Norman's North American Wars

 Once again Norman has sent me some pictures of his delightful 54mm soldiers.  This time it is a fort set in North America, with some pesky local natives lurking in the woods.

Some locals are spotted in the forest:

And they deploy out of the fort:
Followed by a brisk engagement:
Back in time for tea and medals!

Norman's Soldiers

 I have recently got to know Mr Norman Paterson, who is an avid collector of military figures.  Over the last couple of months he has kindly shared some pictures of his collection, set out as dioramas. 

I thought that the figures looked so good that readers of this blog might enjoy seeing them.  So, with the permission of Norman, set out below are the first pictures of part of his stunning collection.

This set of pictures covers the American Civil War, with some dramatic images of close quarter combat.  The figures are by 'Collectors Showcase' and Norman has entitled the diorama as 'Battle Carnage':




Stunning stuff!
