Welcome to TS&MF, the world’s No. 1 magazine for collectors
of all stripes!
When spring is in the air, the annual schedule of hobby shows
kicks into gear. For proof, look no further than this edition’s three
different reports on 2014 events staged by clubs in the United
Kingdom, Canada and United States.
Vendors are a vital part of the equation at all of these shows.
However, TS&MF’s correspondents mainly spotlight the efforts of
their fellow hobbyists. I hope readers enjoy the reports’ words and
photos providing insights into what some people collect and looks
at others’ marvelous model-making skills, especially when it comes to painting.
TS&MF “Kit Korner” columnist Paul Newman is also treasurer of the British Model
Soldier Society (BMSS) while his wife, Julie, serves as its treasurer. Together they ran April 26’s
BMSS annual show and competitions at the Holiday Inn, Bloomsbury, London. Paul’s report
covers the traders, BMSS branch displays, demonstrations, contest entries and more.
Scott J. Dummitt documents May 3’s On Parade, the Ontario Model Soldier Society’s
(OMSS) annual show and competition at historic Fort York in Toronto, Canada. My wife, Sally,
and I were fortunate enough to be able to travel to the gathering. It was wonderful to see fellow
collectors’ impressive displays, do a little shopping and, most of all, see some good friends and
make new acquaintances who share my passion for this hobby of ours.
More hobbyists’ projects and vendors are spotlighted in A.J. Mergenthaler’s report on
the 73rd Annual Miniature Figure Collectors of America (MFCA) Show & Mart. It was held
May 9-10 at the Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia, Pa., USA.
Despite the disparate geography of these three shows, their common denominators are
camaraderie, craftsmanship and good cheer. I highly recommend that TS&MF readers go to
any of these events in the future to find out for themselves how fascinating and fun they can be.
Elsewhere in this edition, Toy Soldier Museum owner James H. Hillestad recounts how he
recruited figures from W. Britain’s new “Clash of Empires” range to re-create the Wyoming
Massacre. e frontier raid was launched by Loyalists and Indians in 1778 during the American
Revolutionary War.
In addition, Hayden Hammersmith examines the launch of the Collectors Battlefield range
of 28-mm painted metal figures and vehicles. e new brand is the brainchild of Collectors
Showcase President Brian Levy, who aims to offer collectors and wargamers an
affordable and space-saving way to display and play with their military miniatures.
For starters, the focus is World War II’s Battle of Carentan fought in Normandy
shortly after D-Day 70 years ago.
As usual, there’s lots more in store in this edition,
so please start turning the pages, enjoy and, as
always, happy collecting!

of the month
As the World War I centenary gets under
way in 2014, W. Britain has unveiled a
poignant vignette titled “ e Veteran’s
Farewell.” It depicts a venerable British
veteran of 19th-century imperial combat
shaking hands with a young lad heading o
to war in 1914. is set is an evocative and
touching study in contrasts.
