What Accessories and Display Items Are Available at Tradition of London Shop?

Updated

Tradition of London Shop lists accessories for its toy soldiers and model figures in three main groups: spare parts for 54mm and 90mm figures, wooden plinths and bases, and glass domes sized 20–150mm. It also carries Vallejo Model Colour paint, magazines and books, and miscellaneous figures. These items appear as catalogue categories on the site; the listing does not state prices, stock levels, or whether every item is available at all times, so treat the categories as the place to browse rather than a confirmed inventory.

Spare Parts for 54mm and 90mm Figures

The catalogue separates spare parts by figure size:

  • Spare Parts 54mm — parts for the 54mm ranges, which the site splits into painted gloss toy soldiers and unpainted kit figures.
  • Spare Parts 90mm — parts for the larger 90mm model soldiers.

This split matters because parts are sized to a figure range. If you are repairing or converting a figure, first confirm which range it belongs to (54mm gloss, 54mm kit, or 90mm), then look in the matching spare parts category. The site does not publish a parts list with individual item names, so the category page is the starting point for checking what is offered.

Wooden Plinths, Bases, and Glass Domes

For display, the shop lists:

Display item What it is for
Wooden Plinths and Bases A base for standing figures or small dioramas
Glass Domes (20–150mm) A cover to protect and display figures

The glass domes are listed with a size range of 20–150mm, which suggests multiple sizes rather than a single product. When choosing a dome, match it to the height and footprint of the figure or base you want to cover; the site does not provide a size-by-size table, so check the individual listing for the exact dimensions before ordering.

Paint, Books, and Other Supporting Items

Beyond parts and display pieces, the catalogue includes:

  • AV Vallejo Model Colour Paint — acrylic paint for finishing or touching up figures.
  • Magazine and Books — reading material listed alongside the models.
  • Miscellaneous Figures — a catch-all category for figures outside the main historical ranges.

These are supporting purchases rather than core products. Paint is most relevant if you buy unpainted 54mm kit figures; books and magazines suit collectors interested in the history behind the ranges.

How to Decide What to Buy

Use the catalogue structure to narrow your search:

  1. Repairing or converting a figure? Go to Spare Parts 54mm or Spare Parts 90mm, depending on the figure's size.
  2. Displaying a finished figure? Choose a wooden plinth or base first, then a glass dome sized to fit it.
  3. Painting an unpainted kit? Look at the Vallejo Model Colour paint listing alongside the 54mm kit range.
  4. Researching a period? Check the Magazine and Books category.

Because the site does not show prices or stock status in the material available, confirm availability and cost on the individual product pages or by contacting the shop before relying on a specific item.
