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
ACE-05P - Lothar-Siegfried Freiherr von Richtofen - $33.00
COND-03A - T26 Light Tank Commander - $30.00

John Jenkins Designs: The Condor Legion: Kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen 1 Ausf B (PzBefw 1) - COND-04


John Jenkins Designs: Kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen - COND-04
John Jenkins Designs: Kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen - COND-04

Scale: 1:30 (60mm)

John Jenkins Designs - The Condor Legion: Kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen 1 Ausf B (PzBefw 1) the Condor Legion military miniature collection. Perfect toy soldier for WWII military diorama. Hand crafted Toy Soldier collectible.

Germany sent 4 Befehlswagen 1 Command tanks to Spain. They were first issued 1 per company, and 1 in the battalion headquarters.

These were a version of the PZKPFW 1 AUSF B, but with a fixed superstructure and additional radio equipment. The provision of dedicated radio vehicles was due to the Wehrmacht's prescient view that radio communications were essential in co-ordinating modern mobile operations. The German Command considered that the leader of a tank subdivision himself should not necessarily participate in the battle; his task lied in the battle control. Therefore, commander's tanks of the first series had no armament at all. The tanks crew consisted of three people: a tank commander (who was also the leader of the tank division), tank driver and radio-telegrapher. Later it was determined that the tank should have arms and it was equipped with one MG - 13 machine gun of 7,92 mm caliber. Radio equipment included a transceiver FuG 6 with 13 - 16 km reach and receiving radio station FuG 2.

The prominent St. Andrews Cross painted on the roof was an air identity mark, common on Nationalist tanks to prevent straffing by friendly aircraft.

Available for pre-order at www.BgsToySoldiers.com today for $148.00. Pre-order yours today. Shipping the last week of January 2011.

John Jenkins Designs: Battle of Fort Carillon, Ticonderoga



John Jenkins Designs: TIC-03
John Jenkins Designs: 42nd Regiment of Foot 2 Advancing

John Jenkins Designs latest release included a new collection of figures based on the Battle of Fort Carillon, which occurred on July 8, 1758. Now available at www.BgsToySoldiers.com are:

TIC-03 - 42nd Regiment of Foot 2 Advancing - $70.00
TIC-04 - 42nd Regiment of Foot 1 Advancing 4 - $35.00
TIC-05 - 42nd Regiment of Foot 1 Advancing 5 - $35.00

Also available for pre-order from this collection are TIC-06 and TIC-07.

In the battle, which took place primarily on a rise about three-quarters of a mile (one km) from the fort itself, a French army of about 4,000 men under General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm and the Chevalier de Levis decisively defeated an overwhelmingly numerically superior force of British troops under General James Abercrombie, which frontally assaulted an entrenched French position without using field artillery. Abercrombie, confident of a quick victory, ignored several viable military options, such as flanking the French breastworks, waiting for his artillery, or laying siege to the fort. Instead, relying on a flawed report from a young military engineer, and ignoring some of that engineer's recommendations, he decided in favor of a direct frontal assault on the thoroughly entrenched French, without the benefit of artillery. The battle was the bloodiest of the war, with over 3,000 casualties suffered, of which over 2,000 were British The 42nd Regiment, known as the Black Watch, paid dearly with the loss of many lives and many severely wounded. More than 300 men (including 8 officers) were killed, and a similar number were wounded, representing a significant fraction of the total casualties suffered by the British.

John Jenkins Designs - Knights of the Skies


As John Jenkins Designs starts to expand into the 20th century with the most recent release of the Condor Tanks COND-01, John Jenkins Designs is following up with the start of the Knights of the Skies Collection. The first release of this collection is the Sopwith Camel B7270, ACE-10. ACE-10 is avaialble for pre-order at www.BgsToySoldiers.com for $188.00 USD. This Aircraft collection will be a must have for any Aircraft miniature Enthusiast. Here is a little more about this first model:

The Aces were the top pilots of each nation who had downed at least 5 enemy aircraft during aerial combat. The governments promoted them to raise morale, civilians adored them for their courage, and skill, and the press were to memorialize them as “Knights Of The Skies”. Aces presented a vision of war based on past virtues like chivalry and decorum. They became modern day heroes flying machines, instead of riding horses. The first aircraft of the collection is the one that became famous because it was the machine that Capt. Roy Brown used to chase Baron von Reichtofen over the Somme on 21st April 1918. A flight from which the Baron did not return. Brown had fired at the Baron’s Dr1, and upon landing was told that he had shot it down. (This machine was then flown by Capt. O W Redgate, who scored two more victories in it that same month.) There were 3 white bars on the fuselage sides, one ahead of where a roundel might have been, and two aft.
A red chevron, edged in white, appeared on the top wing across the centre section.

The Sopwith Camel entered squadron service in June 1917 with No.4 squadron of the Royal Air Service, near Dunkirk. The following month, it became operational with No’70 squadron of the Royal Flying Corps. By February 1918, 13 squadrons were fully equipped with the camel. Originally intended as a replacement for the Sopwith Pup, its design was more evolutionary than revolutionary, featuring a box-like fuselage structure, an aluminium engine cowling, plywood-covered panels around the cockpit, and fabric covered fuselage, wings and tail. Two Vickers machine guns were mounted directly in front of the cockpit, firing forward through the propeller with synchronisation gear. A metal fairing over the gun breeches created a “hump” that led to the name Camel. More than 5,000 Camels were produced, and it was responsible for destroying 1,294 enemy aircraft, between June 1917 and November 1918, and was the most successful fighting scout employed by either
side in terms of the sheer numbers of victories that it scored.

Also coming in the October release are:

BM-25 44th Regiment of Foot, British Line Infantry, Sergeant and Corporal
JR-18 COMBAT SET #4, Wounded Highlander and Line Infantry
SRN-02 BRITISH NAVAL BRIGADE, 2 Sailors Firing #1
BCHART-02 The Battle of Chippawa, 5th July 1814, British Foot Artillery, 2 Crew Aiming,
WISTOCK-04 RAID ON ST. FRANCIS, WATCHTOWER

All pieces are available for pre-order at www.BgsToySoldiers.com

John Jenkins Designs - THE CONDOR LEGION: THE WEHRMACHT'S TRAINING GROUND

John Jenkins Designs is starting a series of figures based on the Spanish Civil War, primarily focused around the Condor Legion. The first of these figures will be arriving in September. The first figure John Jenkins Designs will be releasing is The Condor Legion PzKpfw 1A - COND-01, which will retail for $138.00 USD. The scale will be 1:30 and be constructed from Metal, Polystone, and reson. As an added bonus, John Jenkins will randomly ship a Pzkpfw 1 A with the numbers "423" in 15% of the boxes. This is a slight variation from the other PzKpfw, but will not be marked on the outside of the box. Figures will follow in the October release from John Jenkins Designs. The COND-01 will be available for pre-order at www.BgsToySoldiers.com this week.

The Condor Legion was the expeditionary force of soldiers and airmen sent by Hitler to aid Franco's Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War. The Germans used the war as an opportunity to develop equipment and tactics, and their force included not only instructors, but also combat units of artillery, aircraft, and tanks. These units tested guns, planes and tanks, and perfected
John Jenkins Designs: PzKpfw 1A - COND-01
John Jenkins Designs: PzKpfw 1A - COND-01
techniques that were used in the 1940 Blitzkreig. Many of the officers prominent in the early campaigns of WW2 won their first successes in Spain. In October 1936, 2 German ships arrived in Spain loaded with a Panzer 1 Company, and all the services and personnel to establish Franco's army's first armoured unit. The so called PANZER-GRUPPE DROHNE. Oberstleutnant Willhelm Ritter Von Thoma was to command the contingent.
Two versions of the Panzerkampfwagen 1 were shipped to Spain, the A and B. The design was pioneered by Krupp in the early 1930's. The PzKpfw 1 A had a two man crew, and was armed with two 7.92mm MG13s. Battle experience in the SCW indicated that the Pzkpfw had several weaknesses. Its 0.5inch armour offered little protection against even the smallest anti-tank guns possessed by the Republicans. Its weapons were also far to lightweight to take on enemy tanks and the vehicle lacked the endurance to participate in prolonged action, often leaving the 2 man crew working in its cramped condition quickly exhausted. These invaluable practical lessons added impetus to new tank designs, although the Pzkpfw 1 itself continued to see service in Poland and France during 1939 and 1940.

John Jenkins Designs: The Death of General Wolfe - QB-02

John Jenkins Designs: The Death of General Wolfe - QB-02

General Wolfe was a highly successful general for the British military in Jacobite's rebellion and the Seven Years War. He fell from three shots, one fatal to the chest during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. This death was depicted in a famous painting, which John Jenkins Designs reconstructed with their latest release QB-02. In the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, General Wolfe took a group of British soldiers and two cannons up the side of a cliff to John Jenkins Designs: The Death of General Wolfesurprise the French and defeat them in less then 15 minutes.

John Jenkins Designs: 28th Regiment of Foot Firing Line


To celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of The Plains of Abraham, John Jenkins Designs is releasing a series of figures this September related to this battle. These released figures include:

  • The Gate of St Louis
  • Death of Wolfe
  • Multiple sets of 28th Firing Line Figures
Pictured on the left is the 28th Regiment of Foot Firing Line from John Jenkins Designs in its entirety.

Military miniature is based on The Battle of the Plains of Abraham, took place on the 13th September 1759, and was a pivotal battle in the French and Indian war between the British and French which went a long way in deciding the fate of New France. The battle was fought on a plateau just outside and to the west of the walls of Quebec City and was the culmination of a three month long siege of the city. The actual battle lasted less than an hour, during which time, tactics devised by the Britsh commander, General James Wolfe, proved successful in breaking the column advance of French and Canadien troops under The Marquis de Montcalm. Both generals were mortally wounded during the battle. Order your figures soon at www.BgsToySoldiers.com.

John Jenkins Designs: The Village of St. Francis Woodland Indians


The village of St Francis woodland Indians designed by John Jenkins Designs is based on the village near St Francis that was daringly attacked by Robert Roger and his rangers during the French and Indian War. The British were in need of a diversion during the siege of Quebec and this daring attack provided that much needed diversion for Wolfe. The Abenaki Indian village of St Francis was deep in the French Canada territory.

After suffering from many raids at the hands of the Abenaki Indians, the British colonist were looking for a little payback, and Roger's attack provided that as well. In the picture to the right is John Jenkins new Wigwam, His First Rifle, The Hunters, and the LaCrosse set. All the pieces are limited to 500 figures, except the wigwam, which is unlimited and will be discontinued by John Jenkins when they retire the piece. Some of these pieces are already available at http://www.bgstoysoldiers.com/. The rest will be coming soon.

John Jenkins Designs: Battle On The Monongahela

BgsToySoldiers.com has just received John Jenkins Designs latest releases from their Battle on the Monongahela collection. The latest collection of pieces are some wagoneers and British artillery pieces. The roads that were traveled during Braddock's expedition were badly constructed and resulted in the British artillery moving at about 2 miles a day. Civilians were used to move the artillery accross the country. One of these wagoneers was a young 21 year old Daniel Boone. He was one of the lucky survivors of Braddock's Disaster.

On 9th July 1755 amid the wilderness of North America, Britain suffered one of the most humiliating defeats in her history. General Braddock's army, a mixture of British regulars and American Militia, was devastated, losing over 900 men from a force of 1,300. General Braddock was killed and the remnants of his army were rescued by his aide, Colonel George Washington. This defeat and subsequent chain of events ultimately led to the start of the Seven Years' War.

Pictured on the right is the John Jenkins Designs: British Artillery Crew - BA-01, which is limited to only 350 pieces and retails for $92.00 USD.

Charles Stuart invaded England after being encouraged by King Louis XV of France. After gathering Catholic forces from Scotland Charles moved into England. When France did not deliver on their promise to provide 12000 troops to aide Charles and the English Catholics did not support his attempt at capturing the throne, Charles was forced to retreat to Scotland, pursued by the English. He made his stand at Culloden Moor, known as the Jacobite Rebellion, before fleeing back to France.

John Jenkins Designs: Battle on Snowshoes

Bgs Toy Soldiers will be receiving our first shipment of John Jenkins Designs pieces. We ordered a number of pieces, including the very popular Battle On Snowshoes collection. The Battle on Snowshoes occurred in March 1758. The battle took place between the British (Roger's Rangers) and the French / Indian Forces. The battle originally started in the favor of the British after a successful initial ambush by Robert Roger and his Rangers. But ultimately the French and Indian forces won handedly, due to their sheer numbers. Robert Roger and the remaining rangers retreated with the help of darkness to conclude the Battle of Snowshoes.

The Battle of Snowshoes pieces will go well with JG Miniatures snow bases. We will be ordering some new bases shortly. Other collections by John Jenkins Designs include: The Jacobite Rebellion, Raid on St Francis, Siege of Quebec, Battle on the Monongahela, and the Battle of Chippewa.
