    News AK: Review

    I'm all for an intelligent conversation/debate and to get things started will happily state I'm not disappointed in the slightest with the new AK releases, in-fact I'd go so far as to admit I was excited to see further releases in this range, especially given few manufacturers dip their toe into...

    King & Country Dispatches -- February 2025

    ........I don't recall that to be honest, but its been a while since anyone got sand in their undies and started throwing their toys on here......

    Nam, 'Routine Patrol'...Until it Wasn't

    Reminds me of the ambush scene in the 80's Oliver Stone movie 'Platoon'...... great scene Mike.

    Things that annoy me

    Spot on I say. Its all smoke and mirrors with the big 'T' and getting folks to the table is what its all about and starting a conversation......Meanwhile MSM start flapping their wings and jumping about like head-less chickens, like the worlds going to end. Its a hoot to watch and the...

    I understand this video clip of Queen's 'I want to Break Free' proved very un-popular in the US on its release back in 1984, which I find hard to fathom to be honest. I always viewed it as a bit of fun and a piss take.

    Our changing hobby-the decline of shows and possible alternatives

    That's totally fine, however I stand by my comments. I'm really not sure how you draw your conclusions and assume the hobby is in decline? Comparing the past to the current collecting environment has limited value given the many variables involved. For example, while some main-stream...

    Our changing hobby-the decline of shows and possible alternatives

    I have tried to decipher the contents of your posts, however they are heavily laden with obscure detail, much of which is opinion based lacking in evidence and seem more like a trip down memory lane. Which of course is totally fine, however feels more like a series of moans about the alleged...

    Just wanted to show everyone my very first figure in my collection unfortunately can’t find anymore in this set but I love it.

    Firstly, welcome aboard to TF and this wonderful hobby. Mounted figures always display well and you’ve picked a gem. Strap in and enjoy the ride 🤙🏼

    Rest & Rearm - Thomas Gunn’s New Marder II

    Thanks so much for posting these great snaps. I received my Marder a few days ago thanks to the team at TGM and my good Aussie mate Mark, along with young 'Alfie' and co, plus loader set. Its a smashingly good wee SPG if anyone is sitting on the fence. TGM have put a lot of thought into this...

    Things that annoy me

    As always Jason mate, its good to have these chats and exchange views regardless of the topic. I'd also like to thank Julie & the team for allowing us members the opportunity to blow off steam etc, even though we clearly push the boundaries when it comes to the forum rules. Cheers Toddy

    Things that annoy me

    I'm not interested in getting into a stoush with anyone here over the Ukraine war and I'm no fan of Putin & Co, however its too easy and convenient to simply blame Russia for the conflict all the time. NATO have much to answer for too, particularly their continued expansion into eastern Europe...

    Things that annoy me

    Yeah I don't get it either Steve. Very sad actually. The UK seems to be in a right mess and then there's the continuing 'grooming gang' controversy that keeps rearing its ugly head.

    Things that annoy me

    The US is not alone, sadly this is the reality for most western democracies now-a-days, huge debt that few are willing to tackle, let alone acknowledge. Instead lets distract the public with woke ideologies and simply deny the obvious or better still blame someone else. Common sense be dammed...

    Things that annoy me

    You pretty much summed up the war in a couple of sentences. The conflict is all smoke & mirrors, staged managed by continuous propaganda and corrupt leaders of the so called free world.

    New Releases for February 2025 - Anglo-Zulu War

    I'm just loving this range, those mounted chaps are simply brilliant. Also really enjoying the history behind the figures. Thanks so much John for sharing all of this too.

    Things that annoy me

    The Allies may not have cut a deal with the Nazi's at the end of WW2, however they certainly took advantage and made use of their scientists and medical specialists regardless of the atrocities they were responsible for and lets not mention where did all the stolen gold bullion disappear...
