Tommy Atkins French & Indian Wars
Review taken from 'New Releases Part 1'
It is fairly rare for me to feature figures from this company, simply because the Turner family who own and run the business, often struggle to keep up with orders for their devout fans and therefore the only chance I get to see their ‘wares’ is at one of the shows. Last December I caught up with the Turners at the London show and they proudly passed me the figures you see here for photography.
The new figures, for those who can’t immediately identify them, are the 78th Foot Grenadiers depicted during the Battle of Sillery in 1760, the last major action of the F&I/Seven Years War in the Americas and a French victory! These are unusual figures partly due to the battle they are designed to represent but more so because they are detailed matt figures by a small UK firm at a very reasonable price of £16 per figure or £176 for an 11 piece set.
In addition to the figures shown here the TA, or rather Turner, family are hard at work on more new additions to the range including figures in bonnets and plenty more casualties.
Overall prices for the figures are very good, sculpting is nicely detailed and painting, although it wouldn’t necessarily match in with the bigger companies producing figures for this period has a real charm about it. These are certainly worth investigating further if the F&I Wars are your area of interest, and if the period isn’t your thing but you like the TA style of figures then make sure you didn’t miss The Giveaway on page eight of this issue where you can win some great civilian themed figures by the company.
