Toy Soldiers 54mm The Crimean War 1854 to 1856
Some history behind the Toy soldiers from Tradition of London
| Toy soldiers from the company that was founded 1950's by Roy Belmont Maitland as Norman Newton Ltd. Initially they produced unique 54mm animated figures a range of custom made figures to customers exact requirements. Chas C. Stadden, the renowned sculptor and artist, who later added an extensive range of 30mm and 90mm figures, sculpted these figures. | At around 1964 the company started publishing a groundbreaking, prestigious magazine on military uniforms which went under the title of Tradition and following the success of the magazine, the model soldier range and their shop were similarly named. Many leading military authors and artists, past and present, were at the time contributors to Tradition magazine, which ceased publication in 1974. | Over the years the ranges of model soldiers were continually being expanded, with the masters being sculpted by Jeff Willis, Ron Cameron, Alan Caton, Clive Knight, David Scheinmann and Andrew Stadden. In 1980 the toy soldier range was introduced, sculpted by David Scheinmann, which from modest beginnings has expanded to a very extensive range covering many popular subjects and periods of military history. |
