Thanks Pete, I thought It might have been my internet connection! Pete

Four day's! Is it me??

Hi Al, Yes, totally agree with you. Not criticising any particular manufacturer (and don't want to get into a size/scale debate), but at the end of the day, series' from different manufacturers, which potentially could compliment each other, are just way off the mark re compatibility. From my...

Hi, I'd be interested in seeing how FW166, FW159, FW177 and FW178 fit size wise with the John Jenkins Poilu's. All excellently sculpted figures, but as I've spent so much on the JJD figures, I would need to see that these fitted with them before taking the plunge. I did buy FW156 last year, but...

I've just checked. Its still down....Three days so far!

Thanks! At least it's not my internet connection. Pete

Hi, Is it my internet connection, or has the website been down for the last day or so (Product Store)? Thanks Pete

Love the new signature Al (Algy). Chocks away!! Pete

Excellent Wayne.....Did you paint the 'graffiti' freehand? Pete

Ten years of producing......919 individual releases (Including annuals, 'N' sets, dealer and show exclusives), that's an average of just under 92 releases a year! Add the Frontline sets to this and you get to 108. Phenomenal achievement John!! I still recall ordering my first set BM03 back in...

I think Captain Randall Bond, Captain Al “Algy” Coleman and MAD MIKE “BERSERKER” MILLER will be in my collection sometime soon, with the other's following closely behind! Mike, is your figure based on you when you lose at golf? Pete

Looking forward to the French ground crew! Pete

Hi Benjamin, I'd say probably, I used to have the TG RN version, but sold it when JJD released his. From what I remember they were the roughly the same dimensions. The hatch on the TG version didn't open though. Pete

Hi, Me again! If anybody is interested in this conflict, I can recommend two good books: 'Signal Catastrophe' by Patrick Macrory and 'Return of a King, The Battle For Afghanistan' by William Dalrymple. Pete

Hi, Thanks for your kind comments. Re the background, It's just personal taste. The frames match the cabinet, fit quite well on the shelves (I have them on other shelves in the cabinet), and I like the effect, that's all. Pete

Hi John, Thanks for the kind comments. My photography skills are left wanting I'm afraid! I wouldn't say it was the centrepiece of my collection, but it sure is up there! VERY pleased with it. So much to collect, not enough cash, too much choice, not enough space........ Pete

Hi Chaps, Thanks for the kind comments. I am very pleased with it, but all I did was stump up the cash! The real thanks should go to Steve Dixon (Mariella Miniatures) who painted/modified the figures and David Marshall (TMTerrain) who made the diorama and pulled the whole thing together. It was...

Hi Al, Yes, I'm with you totally, if anybody could do this justice it would be John Jenkins. As fine as the resin figures are, only John could produce a series that exemplifies this engagement... thinking of the Poilu's and Snowshoes.... They are great in 1:54 scale, but if John did them in...

The 1842 Kabul Retreat (or Massacre of Elphinstone's Army) took place during the First Anglo-Afghan War. Following an uprising in Kabul, Major General Sir William Elphinstone negotiated an agreement with Wazir Akbar Khan, one of the sons of the Afghan Emir Dost Mohammad Barakzai, by which his...
