The St. Petersbourgski Regiment is presented for inspection!






A small piece of the web dedicated to Gen. Mikhail Skobolev (the White General), toy soldiers (any period), history, politics and books circa. 1850-1900.
There was an earlier day in my life when I had plenty of time and no money for my hobby, now I have money for my hobby and not so much time. I never stopped playing with toy soldiers "much to my mothers chagrin" exchanging the sandbox, green armymen and rocks for Donald Featherstone's book Wargames, AWI soldiers from the back of a comic book, dice and rulers. Those early games were great fun and very exciting. Eventually I graduated to more complicated systems, better miniatures, headaches, rule arguments and basically not a lot of fun. I thought about ditching the hobby altogether. I realized recently that I like a good game of toy soldiers. I like the look of toy soldiers and I like the way a simple game plays. I like the trusty d6.

Nicely done, Donald!!!
Stand by for piccies of my scruffy looking Revolutionary Red Army!!
Thanks Walt! I'm looking forward to seeing them. Russian Revolution is a period I always thought about painting.
Don,
Will you be leaving the bases green for that more traditional "toy soldier" look, or adding flock later?
John,
I'm planning on playing with the newer flocking gels for the SYW castings, picked up coarse and medium grade at Historicon, speaking of which it was really great to see you guys there.
