John Jenkins Designs: Spanish Civil War and More

John Jenkins Designs: Spanish Civil War and More

John Jenkins Designs: SCW-01
John Jenkins Designs: SCW-01



John Jenkins Designs has just shipped their June release of figures, they will be available at www.BgsToySoldiers.com this weekend. In this release, they have created a new vehicle as part of their Spanish Civil War collection. The Lancia 1ZM Armoured Car, SCW-01, pictured above will retail for $158.00 and is not limited.

The Lancia was the most important Italian armoured car of the First World War - it was built in some numbers and used against the Austrian and later German forces on the front on the north-east borders of Italy. Some were captured by the Germans and used to equip some armoured car units of their own, and Lancia armoured cars were used to train and equip American troops in Italy.
The basis of these cars was the Lancia 1Z 25/35-h.p. light truck chassis with pneumatic tyres, dual at the rear. The construction of the armoured cars was undertaken by the Ansaldo engineering firm, of Turin, and the vehicles were, in fact, sometimes known as Ansaldos or Ansaldo Armoured Cars.

A special feature also used in other Italian armoured cars was the rails, incorporating wire cutters at the tip of the rails, to enable the vehicle to pass through wire obstacles stretched across roads. The Lancia armoured car had a roomy hull (of chrome-nickel steel) and this was needed to accommodate the large crew consisting of the car commander, driver, three gunners and a mechanic.

The car weighed about 3950 kg. loaded including 25.000 rounds of ammunition. The engine of about 60 b.h.p. (35 h.p. nominal) gave a maximum speed of 70 km/h and the car had a circuit of action of about 500 km's. It had a crew of 6 men. The length was 5.240m, the width 1.9m, the height 2.89m, and the wheel base 3.570m.

A company of armoured cars were sent to Spain in 1936. These vehicles were used by the Italian forces during the attack on Malaga, where two platoons of armoured cars were deployed as well as three companies of light tanks.


Also coming in this upcoming John Jenkins Release are:

ACE-05 - Fokker DR1 454/17 Jasta 11 Warplane - $198.00

Bgs Toy Soldiers has been carrying the Del Prado military miniature collection for a little over a year now. We have expanded what we carried to include the Men at War of the 20th Century, Napoleonic Wars Cavalry, Napoleonic Wars Infantry, American Civil War, and the Cavalry through the Ages. We have added the Samurai collection to our permanent collection now. We tried out a small sample of figures late in 2010 with a great deal of success. We now are stocking the entire Samurai Collection. These pieces are fantastic for the price. Every figure costs only $13.99. Not only do we have the publicized piece released in the United States, but in the next week, we will also have the European collection which includes an additional 20+
Del Prado: SAM-021
Del Prado Samurai Figure
figures never made available in the US. Watch for the new figures as we get them in. Most Samurai figures are already available for order at www.BgsToySoldiers.com.

The entire collection, will run from SKU: SAM-001 to SAM-096. Also available at Bgs Toy Soldiers if the Medieval Collection which includes knights on foot, and knights on horseback, which are listed at 13.99 and 19.99 respectively.

We also have a number of Cavalry Through the Ages pieces that were never publicized in the US, that we will be photographing and making available at www.BgsToySoldiers.com.

Unpainted Figures: Andrea Miniatures and Alpine Miniatures

Bgs Toy Soldiers is now starting to add unpainted military miniature kits to our available products offered through our website: www.BgsToySoldiers.com. The first two lines we have added are the Alpine Miniatures and Andrea Miniatures lines. These both have proven to be quite popular in the first few weeks, and we will be expanding out into other lines in the coming months. Having painted figures in the past, and most recently finishing a Hessian Grenadier figure, I can say that it is exciting to be adding unpainted kits to our family of products. We will continue to carry all the finished lines and add to them as well this year as planned. Here is a little info about each of the new lines.

Alpine Miniatures does resin cast figures of the World War II era. They have a 1/16 and 1:35 scale line. Every two months, they release one 1/16 figure and 3 1/35 figure kits. Each 1:35 kit

Andrea Miniatures: French Imperial Guard Grenadier, 1812 - S7-F29
Andrea Miniatures: French Imperial Guard Grenadier, 1812 - S7-F29

contains two heads for each figure in the kit, so that you the painter have a choice on how you want your figure to look.

Andrea Miniatures are white metal cast kits. Most Andrea Miniatures are 1:32 (54mm) scale, but they do have a few lines that are 90mm and a few 1:30 scale kits as well. We will primarily care the military miniature 1:32 scale lines only. Currently we have a small sample of figures from Andrea Miniatures Napoloenic Wars and Medieval Miniatures Collection. We will be adding the rest of the figures from both of these lines in the next few weeks, before adding the Golden West and General War series.

We can get Andrea Miniatures painted as well for anyone that wants a piece from their line that is pre-painted. If interested in a piece pre-painted, let me know and I can check the price and availability for you. Get your Andrea Miniatures and Alpine Miniatures at www.BgsToySoldiers.com.
