Toy Soldier Collector Asset Miniatures - Royal Landau State Coach

Asset Miniatures - Royal Landau State Coach

Review taken from 'New Releases Part 1'

As mentioned in the last issue, Asset Miniatures have become one of the stalwarts of the UK gloss hobby with the regular release of high quality sets year after year.

Now hot on the heels of the new Royal Air Force and Royal Navy sets, reviewed in issue 21 comes the release of its Royal Landau State Coach. There are a total of 12 pieces that together make up the complete set. In addition to the State Landau, the set is made up of four greys, two postillion riders in State Dress from the Royal Mews together with a mounted Groom out rider, two Footmen in the uniform of the Royal Household, not forgetting the royal passenger reclining comfortably in the Coach.

As you would expect from any set produced by Asset the painting and gloss finish is up to their normal high standards. The horses are realistically modelled and the detailing that has been included is exceptional, even down to the campaign medals visible on the two postillion riders as they ensure the smoothest possible ride for their royal passenger. On a personal note I would have liked to have seen additional royal passengers included which I feel would have given a more balanced feel to the set as a whole. I was therefore pleased to learn from Anne Randall at Asset that plans are indeed in hand to add more passengers to compliment this set in the future. Currently this set is only available painted, but castings should be available shortly. Collectors might also like to know that this set is also available in semi-state livery as well.

For further information regarding the availability and the price of castings, and details of the set in semi-state livery please contact Asset at the address shown.

The set is priced at £250.00 painted plus (P&P) - UK and EU add 10%, Australasia 20%, Elsewhere 15%.
