Those are some nice sculpts. Wrong scale for me.

I'm sure Matt will have them; I ordered mine direct from Rick and got a good deal on multiple bags - along with more of his Warlord Frisians. I'm a happy camper. The new figures are beautiful - even more finely sculpted than the old "Warlord" guys. I am hoping to get them all out and set them...

Love these folks, we need more civilians. I've been playing heck for years getting good figures for my civilians at the Alamo.

There were two versions of the Revolutionary War sets. My neighbor had the first set - flats; that was about 1963 (I don't know how long he'd had them); in 1967 a classmate ordered a set and I was really concerned he'd be disappointed but they turned out to be 3-D and soft plastic. Pretty good...

Some really great figures. It's always great to see good conversions having just entered into that realm myself I'm always looking for new ideas. Your pics are great - both inspiring and intimidating. Thanks for sharing.

If they're small it might work - after all, the Japanese did tend to be smaller in stature than their Western opponents. I remember complaints about the relative size of the BMC Japanese when their Iwo Jima sets came out. I just hope they don't muck up the molds with flash and mismatched molds...

I agree; great job of making fine figures look even better.

Totally agree that Ron and Mary Ann are great people; I loved your interview and was glad to hear he plans on still going to the occasional show. I was able to get many of his sets over the years; my wife learned the best way to please me at Christmas was to find out what his new set was and...

This is such good news for the hobby; as I've said elsewhere, it appears rumors of AIP's demise have been greatly exaggerated. They fill a niche in the hobby and it looks like they're back. Great news.

It might have been said before - if so, it bears repeating from an old cannon cocker (or gun bunny, if you prefer): because, "Artillery lends dignity to what otherwise would be a vulgar brawl..."

Superb job! Great imagination in using those figures for your conversions - goes to show there's no limit for thinking out of the box!

I'm thinking mine were cast in resin; as I said, I'm going to have to dig them out to see. I think I bought another set, with fewer poses later in plastic.

Your pics remind me I have some of those somewhere; I'd almost forgotten. Thanks for sharing them. Now I have to drag them out...

At a glance it looks like the pose in question is firing an 1873 Springfield carbine; the barrel was only 22 inches, as are their troopers. There are a couple poses using what looks to be lever action Winchesters (or a similar rifle) that are full length. The TSSD figure's weapon is longer...

Just got back from the Texas Show. I am pleased to report I was able to pick up a couple bags of Paragon's new Sioux Warriors. They are even nicer in person than in the pics. And, to no big surprise they go perfectly with TSSD's Sioux so will be a great addition to your Plains Indian Wars...
