My Leuthen journey - TSC 55

December 2013

Roy Palmer tells of how a chance discovery at the London Show led him (and his wife) to a churchyard in Poland.

I guess you could say my journey to Leuthen really began last year at the March London Toy Soldier Show. I was browsing the JJD UK Stand when amongst all the fine products on display a single figure caught my eye. I think it was the colouring and the pose - striding purposely forward, a look of determination on his face. Whatever, there was just something about him…..

He was a Prussian Grenadier, the first release in a new series by John Jenkins called ‘Leuthen’. Based on the famous painting by German Artist Carl Rochling called ‘Die Schlacht Von Leuthen’ (The Battle of Leuthen). The series will evolve to eventually allow you to recreate the painting as a small diorama in 1:30 scale.
