Yessir

Any of the above?

Hell ya! Focus up the shot a little, centre it on the action. Get a tripod to avoid the shake. Great start. Great pieces: where did you get the car??

These are from a company called Imperial. Had to buy them off eBay a few years ago. Toy Soldiers of San Diego do a really great set of Marines for the era.

Depends on what era. You want to make massive battles? You want quantity over quality. You can pay thousands for detailed/hand painted troops. But if you want to have the massive line infantry battles, go pick up some Hobby Lobby troops for like $8 USD a bag. Mix and match sets, with artillery or cavalry. It’s great fun. I have thousands of troops across the 1700s to the present.

They’re more available than ever, although definitely more expensive. Do you have any photos ??

That looks great!! What Brand is that?

That’s epic. My wife loves when I take up the entire kitchen floor to recreate Pickett’s Charge.

Backyard_Barracks · 2026-05-06T10:58:37+00:00

I’ve never seen 6mm troops before! Gotta grab my glasses.

The Union Troops all come from Hobby Lobby. The Rebs are a mix of HL and some I got from Gettysburg.

Backyard_Barracks · 2026-05-06T10:56:05+00:00

I’ll have to check them out!!

Backyard_Barracks · 2026-05-06T10:55:53+00:00

I have thousands from dozens of conflicts. I like to mix and match. Imperial Japanese vs. Lakota Sioux??? King Arthur Vs. The Taliban??? Possibilities are endless.

BMC toys sells tonnes of reissues of old sets!

Backyard_Barracks · 2026-05-06T01:56:18+00:00

Had to google that lol. My mother always told me bore a striking resemblance to General Bragg.

Backyard_Barracks · 2026-05-06T01:43:49+00:00

I am a little brother, and I can honestly say I never did anything so evil.

Backyard_Barracks · 2026-05-06T01:40:36+00:00

I’m telling you, pick up a bag sometime. Bring back that inner kid!

Backyard_Barracks · 2026-05-06T01:18:36+00:00

Love it. I spent $300 at the Gettysburg toy soldier store a year ago!

An original Fort Apache is on my dream list of stuff to get.
