Has anyone attempted to paint digital camo (ACU, MARPAT, CADPAT) on a 54 mm figure? If so, what technique did you use?

Does K&C have any more American Rev figures in the pipeline? As it is, all American figures are in the process of being retired and the entire line seems focused on the King's 23rd Regiment of Foot, the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Can we expect to see any reinforcements arriving this upcoming year?

What plastic figures are offered with modern US combat uniforms; ie kevlars, IBAs, assault rifles, etc. I've seen a few sets of small 1/72 wargaming figures, but is there anything on a larger scale? Mike

Re: Bad News: Old Toy Soldier Home, Vista, CA, is closing! Hi Peter, Craig called me up several days ago to tell me about some issues he is having with his health, and to inform me that his store is going under. I am planning on going in, in person next weekend to try to get some more...

Bad news: It looks like Craig McClain's Old Toy Soldier Home is going to be closing sometime in the near future due to the negative effects of this economy. I've been going to this store ever since I was a kid and I had a chance to work there for a short time on the side. Craig McClain has done...

If you have any for sale, please shoot me a pm! I'm looking to start finishing up my collection.

Nicely done, your dioramas (and avatar {sm4} ) are always a pleasure to behold! I was lucky enough to pick up a set of the militia, I find they work best in a small group vs. the woodland indians, and they would complement a Lexington militia series very nicely.

I'd love to see K&C do a small Lexington Green set, maybe a range of 10 figures including militia, Major Pitcairn, and British Light Infantry. Regards, Mike

I wouldn't buy any Continental Congress sets, my focus is on the military and they wouldn't add anything to the collection. I might buy AWI military personalities, however, similar to the ones done by Britains.

Speaking of keeping your collection under wraps, have you ever had a chance to post a few pics of some of your setups? {sm4}

I'm very tempted to get a Club membership just to buy these two {sm3}

I collect the AZW range, right now all Britains, but I was looking on the Frontline website and I was surprised by the quality and detail of the Zulu and British figures, especially in light of their affordable prices. Does anyone know how well these two lines complement each other? Thanks and...

For British, I loved the Regulars sets, especially the marching poses. When deployed as a full company, they are a fine showing of British military might. For the Colonials, I'd have to agree with Larry, the New York regt. (second release) figures are incredibly well sculpted and painted. Its a...

Very sorry for your loss Wayne, God Bless. Regards, Mike
