    It is hoped to offer "painted" sets and figures at a later time depending upon our market Place experience. Music In Miniature is a excellent range, though certain "other " ranges or products have sadly sufferred due to the negative image from the former N Z owners who sold inferior products.

    Our Range of White Lead Free Metal Toy Soldier Figures is pre dominantly produced in Collectors 54MM (1/32) Scale. Many are offerred as "Kits" to assemble and paint to client choice. We offer unpainted kits figures and castings at this time.

    Alain Caton and other Sub Contractors are known to have supplied some "Mountford" parts....Seems Dave didnt actually make much by his own hand....on the Artillery range.
    Looks like I might need to re make the Germans too.....sniff
    The Major
    The "Mountford" German Riders bear a worrying resembelance to the rather "Bland" figures produced by ESCI and some early 1970's Tamiya plastic figures, until 1984. They look like scaled up versions to me. Did Dave love sub contract EVERYTHING then?

    This is one of the examples of the VERY "Poor" Quality treatment by the defunct Kaputnik N Z owners. Moulds RUINED and USELESS because they tried pouring Resinous Plastic into them..... IMG_2024-10-19-08-22-42-477.jpgIMG_2024-09-29-11-29-37-483.jpg
    Did any of them know anything about making Toy Soldiers at all?????

    There are a number of bad useless or even "rusty" (!!) Moulds such as this we found when we opened the crates from N Z last year. Everything "else" (yes EVERYTHING !) was stuffed into plastic food freezer bags inside broken plastic boxes. Max is "not amused" and a lettter winged its way to N Z, no reply (of course!)....Sniff Sniff Unhappy

    I will on suffrance have to continue selling the "old stock" Metal crew figures at ths time, , but meanwhile create NEW Crew figures for the Mountford items. Once old N Z stocks are exhausted, I am going to withdraw the old figure castings and furnish the kits with NEW ones.
    The Major
    It seems a "lot" of the surviving Crew figures for "Mountford" are NOT the quality work from Alain Caton, rather the poor quality items made by the kaput guys. Some clearly come from the old Airfix Polythene Eight Army Set with modified Arms etc. Seen "worse" but these simply are not good enough and should be far better quality.
