Thank you very much for the prompt replies - so you guys really think this could be a rip-off? I never noticed untill KV pointed it out that the figure being offered by Westair is 70mm, as opposed to 54mm - would that size difference make any odds as to the figure's authenticity? Even allowing...

Hello all! Not a regular poster on this area of the forum, but just have a quick query - out of curiosity more than anything else - about a possible Del Prado figure I've come across. Please see the attached link for a picture of a model being offered by a UK company which bears an almost...

As a fellow Napoleonics collector, I couldn't leave you guys in the lurch ;)! I haven't been involved in the hobby for that great a length of time, so I probably don't have as wide a range of experience or as large a collection as some you guys to draw upon, but the Napoleonic item that really...

Warbirds and aviation in general don't usually hold any major appeal for me, but I have to say that these really look superb, especially the Spitfire. Job nicely done, guys. Cheers, Molloy.

Wow, indeed! Those really are crazy prices for single figures:eek:. That said though, the KGL line did seem to be one of K&C's best Napoleonics releases to date. Definitely regret entering the hobby that bit too late to catch them:(. Ah well, I suppose I'll manage to hold on until the next...

Quite true - even if it isn't exactly what you were expecting/hoping for, there's very rarely a month where at least one new release or series doesn't strongly catch the eye. Today is the 27th, so I suppose it's respectable to start the speculation about May's Dispatches! Cheers, Molloy.

The Connaught Rangers got my vote out of national loyalty, but I'd be equally pleased to see a future release depicting the Grenadier Guards. Quite surprised nobody's voted for that option (yet). I think that distinctive uniform of bearskin and scarlet tunic would look very attractive. It would...

Hmmm....I'm already getting a little excited about the prospects of a new Tiger. What do you reckon the chances are?! My birthday's at the beginning of May as well, so I could see those two coinciding very nicely. Fingers firmly crossed at this end!! Cheers, Molloy.

Hey Sammy, nice idea to update this! I'm currently a full time student, slowly making my way through a History degree. In my spare time, I work evenings and weekends as a supervisor at my local supermarket - not the most glamorous, but it does provide me with money for more figures!! Cheers...

Thanks from me as well for the reference picture, Frank. The sheer size of that vehicle seen in its real-life incarnation is somewhat awe-inspiring :eek:. Regards, Molloy.

Well done, Ron, both are looking excellent! I like that imaginative use of some of the Ancient Egyptian scenery pieces, combining them with Napoleonic figures never occurred to me before. It's an obvious step though, and the results speak for themselves. Love the Voltigeurs - always kicking...

Ah ok, that makes sense - I remember coming across something online a while back about the 506th being reflagged as "Taskforce Band of Brothers" or something to that effect prior to a deployment to Iraq - didn't quite understand the significance of that as I assumed the regiment had always been...

Just Googled the name to find an image, can't say I've ever seen it before, but it's certainly impressive looking! Slightly reminds me of a very early First World War tank fused with a later WWII model. You certainly couldn't accuse it of being under-endowed anyway;)! Cheers, Molloy.

Duxford is indeed very nice to while away a day or two in! Absolutely fascinating collection - even though I'm not really into aviation per se, it's still quite enjoyable to get the chance to see machines like the Spitfire and Concorde up close and personal! The Land Warfare collection is very...

No worries mate! Name aside, it still does look a very formidable piece of machinery though, doesn't it?? Have a look at this picture from Wikipedia, taken in a German museum: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SdKfz165.jpg Cheers, Molloy.

Rob, I think that was the Hummel. "Hummel" translates as "bumblebee", which isn't exactly the most martial name out there!! Cheers, Molloy

Cheers for the additional info, Brad! Regards, Molloy.

Hi H, Just out of interest, would you be thinking of using some of the Figarti North Korean figures as opposition, or are you just considering a stand-alone diorama with US troops? Does any other manufacturer actually produce Korean War figures in this scale for that matter? Figarti are the...
