My Korean nephew saw this in a movie and wants to know the terminology associated with, so he can order some or buy some when his dad goes to London again.

He saw some little figures (I think he said they were British Fusilier tin soldiers) they were redcoat soldiers, and some cannons I think. The soldiers were already painted, so I don't know if they come that way.


What type of stores sell these hobby tin soldiers, and what are they called? Is there anything else I can tell him about them that would help him in his collection?

Thanks you British guys, for your help.

Cheers

Thanks, I was also wondering about brands and who is the best, etc. etc.
Also, forgot to mention that it was the scene in "RONIN" that he saw with the ninja warriors that got him interested in all of this.

Muchas gracias senior. Very Happy
