Completed Projects

 

As long as I can remember, I’ve been a collector of 54mm (1/32nd-scale) miniatures. I remember painting them in the backyard as a kid on summer days in Canada, and lining them up in the garden to be lost among the bushes and flowers. If you’re a kid at heart whose passion is still little metal men, you’re among friends.

Having “grown up,” my skill and experience at creating, converting and painting miniatures has grown as well. And now that passion is a business run by an enthusiast for other nostalgic enthusiasts.

I’m cracked, but I love this hobby.

The following are my latest creations this month, all finished. Check out the Workbench page for previews of what’s underway and that will appear here next month. Updates are made here on or near the first of each month, so check back often.

You may have seen the release of our new Queen's Rangers for the American Revolution. Here are some more close-up shots of the battalion men/rifles to offer greater insight into these troops.
Like the QR pics, above, here are some closer ones of our newly released Young Guard infantry for the Napoleonic French Imperial Guard.		Hey, our Old and Young Guard have made an appearance in the latest issue of Toy Soldier Collector from the UK. Thanks to columnist Paul Stocker!
Here are some British representative of the AWI Battle of Princeton for a collector. These are plastic figures from various manufacturers.		A British artillery set for another client to join his wargame army.
The Continental opponents of the British line above. These are all ATKM figures.		Another Royal Artillery set for the same client. Their small clothes are a slightly different color here.
Check this out! We have added several new foam resin terrain pieces to our offerings. These are all for 54mm (or 40mm!) figures and are ideal for displays or wargames. You can see them all on our Terrain page.
After much soul searching I have decided to sell my first collection of War of 1812 figures. These preceded ATKM and now that I make my own 1812 troops, these just don't get attention anymore. There are over 500 figures here, mostly plastic but some metal, a LOT of conversions, and some figures you just can't get, either anymore or period. I'll be taking them to shows and shopping them around. Email me if you're interested. I want to sell them en masse, not onesy-twosy. You can see more pics on our Painted Figures for Sale page.
Friend of ATKM Joshua Loper has formed a miniatures club at his college, and is a big fan of the Queen's Rangers. Here are pics of his QR forces getting ready for battle. Awesome work promoting the hobby, Joshua!
Back in January we made another appearance at Phoenix Games in Buford, GA. It being 2012, we thought it appropriate to play some War of 1812 games this time. We're making appearances at the store regularly now, with some really big games about to get underway.
The following are other recently completed sets of our figures, now added to the ATKM collection.
Here's a sneak peak at the next releases in our Napoleonic French line: Old Guard Chasseurs a Pied! These monsieurs will come in sets of 12 infantry and 6 infantry with 2 command.
These figures have all been sent to Maitland Toy Soldier Shoppe in Goderich, Ontario, Canada. They're on sale there now. The store's location explains all the War of 1812 pieces!
These painted War of 1812 American infantry are now on sale in the gift shop at Fort McHenry, Baltimore. If you're at the fort, please check them out!
For a while now I've been magnetizing my toy soldier collection for transportation to shows. Here are some results, with my War of 1812 troops magnetically based, both on figures and movement trays. Yes, that's 12 figures all held upside-down in the middle shot.
These are French Young Guard Infantry, available now on our Napoleonics page!
As you may know, we carry plastic Napoleonics from Hat to supplement our own metal offerings in the period. Here are their elite French in greatcoats, all painted. Who says plastic figures are inferior to metal?
All the King's Men recently forged partnerships with Crown Miniatures and Minutemen Toy Soldiers to carry selections of our painted figures. Those great dealers will be at toy soldier and wargame shows all over the US and in Europe. These French infantry are just some of the pieces that Crown has available now, both on their website and at shows where owner Nicholas Cameron will appear. You can see more about our partnerships on this page.
Another client commissioned a fully painted War of 1812 army set. It gave me a chance to take pictures. My only previous ones had been of unpainted army sets.
These images show our AWI mounted general in greatcoat. The kit includes one body, two "action" arms, two heads, and a horse and metal base, all of which allow the general to be used in various poses for any nation. This set is available now on our AWI page
