    Any news on Conte?

    I have some of the prototypes and they are rather pliable and hand swaps are easy to do. I tried the same thing with the red Spartans and the ball plug in broke off in the joint. I had a number of other breaks of the same sort just moving the hands around. I also had a set of silver Spartans and...

    Any news on Conte?

    He could have been king of the plastic world, but somewhere and somehow he lost his way, whether it was promises not kept, competition, financial loss or frustration due to criticism I can't be certain. He did have a quality product and his action poses were top notch without a doubt. I'd be...

    Any news on Conte?

    That would be his first plastic since the Spartans. Seems rather odd that he would re-run the US paratroopers at this time. From his home page you would think he had 5 or 6 projects on the fire and he come out with US paratroopers, again?

    French Foreign Legion and Arabs/Tourags

    Timpo made them 4 FFl and 4 Arabs, Reamsa did Arabs, not sure about FFl. Oliver also does them both. Airfix made them in 1/72 but not 54/60mm. You already have Conte and AIP and Britians. Conte probably did the best and they were a true 54mm, at least in my opinion they were the best. They...

    Opinions on Chicago Show 2013

    I was there since Thursday, I thought the room trading was very slow and light. I expected heavy crowds based on past years on Friday and Saturday, but they came and went with light traffic. I thought the Sunday attendance was about normal, I went out to check the crowd about 9:45 and they were...

    Can anyone identify these 8th Army 1/32 scale plastic figures please

    Two of the poses are virtually identical to the Timpo Foreign Legions poses, the guy standing firing and the bayonetting guy.
