    Polite Information.
    Some of our Mould toolings ARE "very old" and some, like Jock Coutts Under Two Flags "New" (before 1998 !!!!) have NEVER ever been worked or cast up before. Due to rough and slip shod Shipping from N Z, some tools are bent and disfigured, leading to technical delays and special compensations in our workshop.

    Above>; One of our Two De Burring points. Rotary hand held Motor Cutting, abasive and Polishing tools are used to "improve" and de Flash the older moulded products, and to remove "Flash" when present. I also oversee, and when not occupied elsewhere, personaly clean away and "De Burr" the castings before they ever go into the boxes. WE DO NOT SELL "rough work" to customers.

    Als work holds true today, the Horses "flow" and billow, just as the real horses do in real life....living "Metal" full of the Love of craftsmanship of older and better days and times....We cant "live in the past, but we can still apreciate and enjoy works from it...

    Al Charles did a lot of work for Greenwood and Ball, and a lot of other makers as a subcontractor too. He made many of our ROSEDALE figures by the way too.....

Gattling Gun on wheeled carriage. 1/32 Scale. I mentioned this kit to David James Love, who confirmed he did not know about this one.....

    Anybody want a large super heavy Gun for a office or Barracks Rooms Paper weight? Kaputnik had blocked the Mould with sticky muck for this one, Devils own job to clean up.....(used too much cash for him I guess?!) It is a Limited Edition item, sure, but it will be available for a good time.

    I think I can help with the Schneider Mountain gun as I most likely have on in kit format, not sure I still have the box art work. Please let me know if you are interested. Send me a PV and we can discuss that.

    What you have there is a Maxim Machine gun and shield and one of the wo sailors that came with the set, one would be seated at the gun and the other standing with ammo feeding the gun. The French soldier that you see in the mould is the mule handler for the broken down Schneider gun on transport by mules....See pics of the gun attached, just that I had Little Legion infantry man

    the horse must be for the WW2 German supply wagon as the harness is not for a load animal

    Now THAT is "interesting" Thankyou. We are just building a German "Light Field Wagon" now as a new Display Model, err so better check again the Box Artwork Photo for those Horses. Strage the "Mule" head and body should be in among this though. We DO have early Mountford Boxart which does show this animal with harness.....hmmmm
