  • Rosedale. One finds a Hussar Pelisse, a Shako and a American large scale Indian in the SAME tooling and two or even Three scales....then a large scale Prussian head.....interesting technique !
    Some of the Toolings turned out to have NEVER been used, and some "overused" . Uniquely, Rosedale requires workshop to cast EVERY tooling in the series in order to get enough parts to complete everything here. Alain and Dale designed them that way aparently.
    All in a days work. Lots and lots of fresh castings now stocking up. We even got Elephants and Palm Trees and a Hedgerow.....

    Just a small fraction only for todays eyes.....ITS COMING ! @@))))
    The Wee Fairey style Chess Castle is cute. We cast up several Chess Sets we found amongst the Toolings. Amazingly we found we had ALL the pieces theres a "first" lol....We got the choice of several "Kings" andQueens too.....they cleaned up very well and quickly too....

    We cast two different sets of Air Screws for Planes, this above is set 1 of 2. Described by the former owner as "WINDMILL" Hmmm yeah right....take more water with it
    We have King Arthurs Round Table in 2 different versions. One where you can choose and soudre or cement the shields on separately, or version 2 with Shields already moulded as shown here.

    Norman Wisdom.....I found the Norman Cavalry Riders and Shields wrongly labelled up as "Saxons"....Hmmmm There are some differrent patterned Mails and details, on each one its different.

    I am going to Issue some of Jock Coutts U2F Figures when we open. Some castings do get a wee flash on them, (If thereis still sufficient interest I am prepared to undetake re newing the older Moulds for those who still buy Jocks figures) All cleaned up in the de burring room....

    Some of the Old Under Two Flags Infantry.
    There turned out to be far more figures available in the Medieval series than werein fact found in a lot of the Moulds. Different scales too some of them.

    Good Detail, good painting skills, competence, simply DO NOT match, describe fit or belong with or "in" the frightful situation we find described elsewhere over some years, and found in our own cargo shippment experience from him. What means?

    Below Photos Ducal painted figures by the "late" (or at least "dissappeared"* Abram Simon formerly of F B TS New Zealand. Skill levels do NOT fit or belong with the general situation described or experienced. it raises serious questions with us about just WHAT really happenned.

    Was Abram REALLY "ill" or did someone over in N Z do something wrong or bad?

    Then very clearly, this "sale" from Fleur Baix Toy Soldiers to us has been wrong from the very beginning. Coupled up as it is with a host of other irregularities and discrepancies....I tell you no word of a lie John; IF I find Abram is still alive and ran off someplace, when weve finished ourLawyer with him, the guy is going to wish he had never been born

    We find it therefore "strange" why or How, considering his manifest skill and ability, "competence" that his N Z Business found itself in such a chaotic Mess, and needed a year and half to sort out into proper order when delivered to us. The Skill and Ability demonstrated here in his own work DENIES such , such failure. Therefore something (or someone) clearly is out of joint about this affair.
    Herewith "Ducal" Work done by the late Abram Simon esquire of New Zealand. 1737547886032.jpeg1737547945539.jpeg1737547971050.jpeg1737548070447.jpeg1737548097480.jpeg1737548117058.jpeg

    Interesting that you say "WHY would Abram Simon describe YOUR WORK as his own????"

    I see a lot of my images cropping up on the web with no acknowledgement that they came from my website.

    Oh well, I just take it as a compliment that they like my painting :) :)

    I have been carrying out Data backup across several Platforms. Ive secured over sixty thousand files, most of which are Toy Soldier or Kit Product, casting kit parts or related items. Monumentaly "boring" but hugely useful. Found out something....
