Our first issue will be reproduction half-round toy soldiers of the US Army of the Spanish-American War, hand cast and painted in gloss enamel, in as good a "period reproduction toy" style as we can do.
These soldiers are made of a lead-tin alloy, and thus are not intended to be used as toys for children.
Planned are the following sets:

KNIGHTS
We are also currently casting and painting some interesting "Victorian Knights," being semi-flat knights, on foot and mounted, as envisioned by Victorian period illustrators. These are painted lead/tin versions of some familiar comic-book knights of the 50s and 60s, and look really nice after they are painted.
They will be offered in two grades of painting:
- Grade 1: matt finish, with shading and highlighting
- Grade 2: gloss "toy" painting style, with some shading
We are currently casting and painting the prototypes, and photographs will be up soon!
