    1-30 Resin Maus Tank - Printed and painted

    That is a good point that you have the ability to ordered items that no one has modeled. I wonder if the vehicles can be printed with some sort of battle and usage damage for a more realistic look? The models printed have no blemish from battle or usage, they are in perfect factory condition. Of...

    1-30 Resin Maus Tank - Printed and painted

    How does that compare in price to the metal & resin model tanks from the premium model mfg. companies in US dollars? Is the difference in cost enough to sacrifice the detail and material of the other models? I believe that 190 pounds sterling is around $250 US. Howard

    Virginia Militia autumn patrol

    Those Virginia Militia were my favorite figures from the JJD FIW range. They were also hard to come by once they were retired. Nice diorama of that campaign. Howard

    An update for my friends!

    I keep hoping that somehow Ken and Ericka will reconsider their positions with W. Britain. I am reluctant to invest in some of the lines of soldiers that I collect with them until I can see the direction the company will go. Just keep thinking about Ericka with the Hudson and Allen Studio and...

    Who murdered Joachim Peiper ?

    It's amazing that someone who was involved with murdering so many people was able to live free at all. He should have been executed for war crimes as his first sentence was passed. Still he was an amazing Officer but was just born and raised on the wrong side of the war. Thanks for posting the...

    An update for my friends!

    Well I do think that this announcement raises more questions than answers. As a long time collector of W. Britains I guess we will all have to wait until the dust settles to see what the new management will look like. I was also under the impression that Ken and Ericka were the owners of W...

    In the Heat of Battle...

    The Photo and diorama capture the intensity of Hand to Hand combat in the Ancient world. Once the 2 armies close the melee becomes uncontrollable and the most disciplined troops usually won. Great photo. Howard
