This corporal carries his rifle over the shoulder and wears practical khaki rather than the green dress associated with the Rifle Brigade’s earlier history. The figure makes continuity and change visible within one regimental tradition.
Blue braiding and red trousers make this hussar an arresting contrast to the field-grey and khaki soldiers nearby. The figure opens a route into Austria-Hungary’s army through a uniform that still carries the visual language of cavalry tradition.
Harness straps and observation equipment make this figure an aviation subject without an aeroplane. The balloon observer represents one of the practical links between flight, reconnaissance and the guns on the ground.
A turban, red waist sash and drawn sabre give this dismounted Jodhpur cavalryman a distinctive outline. The figure is a useful introduction to Indian service in a war whose miniature displays often concentrate on European infantry.
FW060 gives Joseph Joffre a compact, confident stance: dark tunic, red trousers, kepi, binoculars and sword. The colourful portrait belongs to the French opening-war group, but its history is more complicated than the reassuring nickname “Papa” suggests.
Angular blocks of colour cover the shield and wheels of FW057. Behind that striking finish, three German artillerymen give the set a practical subject: the coordinated work required to serve a field gun.
One arm points a pistol outward while the other holds a telephone receiver. FW050 compresses two kinds of command—immediate direction and communication with someone out of sight—into a single restless pose.
The tracks run around the entire body of FW049, creating the unmistakable outline of a British Great War tank. The model carries C42 markings and a roof-mounted beam, giving collectors more to examine than the familiar rhomboid shape.
A prone lance corporal rests his Lewis gun over sandbags in FW048. The shallow pose and projecting barrel make it a small figure with a surprisingly long footprint—and a useful subject for explaining a change in infantry firepower.
The horse stretches forward and the officer extends his sword almost horizontally. FW035 is a cavalry action piece, but it also offers a chance to move beyond the familiar claim that horse soldiers simply disappeared in 1914.
