I was told the Figarti train is compatible with "G" scale track, which is 45 mm or 1.772 in gauge track. I am not sure if Marklin's Gauge 1 uses this guage track. The Figarti track sections are metal but I am not sure if they are the type of metal that can uniformly conduct electricity, and...

Question 5: Collector asked Andy to comment on collectors reaching a saturation point where there is too much product being produced to display it. Compared to other countries, U.S. homes have lots of space. If you are running out of space, you always have the option of selling off older...

The figures shown at the Lunch with Figarti are paint samples provided to see if the quality of the painting style meets with expectations. Unfortunately, uniform references were not provided since all the Confederate officers were painted blue.:)

Sorry gun barrel is moveable.:)

Dear Mitch, Polyresin with metal parts and photo-etched pieces. All Figarti sets are limited to 100 sets . However they sometimes come out with paint variants on good sellers.:)

The Karl is about 15 inches (guess after looking at vehicle). The 54 cm refers to the diameter of the mortar barrel.:)

Question 1: Collector asked for themes like Napoleon's retreat from Moscow or burning of eagles. Many great stories but K&C needs to concentrate on what will appeal most. As subject matter these ideas are limited. Want subjects that can be extended and have staying power. Question 2: How do...

Before I summarize Andy's talk, I want to thank Peter and Shannon Reuss of Treefrog Treasures, Mike and Myszka Hall of Sierra Toy Soldier Company, and Tim Tyler of Troops of Time for the wonderful dinner. I took 8 pages of notes and will summarize Andy's talk in this post, and follow with the...

Figarti displayed prototypes of a quad 2 cm flak gun on a stand and two figures with a MG 42 on an anti-aircraft stand which can be seen in some of the pictures so there are plenty of sets coming to add to train.:)

Marco Polo will be the name of the alliance between Figarti and Aeroart/St. Petersburg.:)

Engine and some of the cars already being shipped to the distributor.:)

I was told a limited number of BR52 and the five train cars were available at the show.:)

It is a bareheaded German officer wearing an open leather coat and looking at his watch, and I was told he is wondering when the train would arrive.:)

This is the 7th year that Figarti has been in business. In 2010, it is a great time to collect, but purchases by collectors are more selective. Chinese factories are struggling with labor issues, increased costs, currency devaluations, etc. However, hobby is growing. Rick thanked his...

I am a collector of the Aeroart/St. Petersburg ACW figures and most of these figures are previously done by Aeroart with Russian painters, so its Aeroart's ACW castings painted by Figarti to more of a Russian painting style since the figures are not as weathered as normal Figarti figures.:)

The price of the HMS Victory (HMS 01) is $6,500 delivered to your door and it comes with 40 figures. The dimensions are 1.77 m height, 1.63 m length and 0.57 m wide. The ship is built entirely from wood with some resin and metal detail pieces. Because of the bulkiness, it would take two...

You'll get there before me, but the earliest dealers open on Wednesday.:D

I'll be there, but don't call me Rick.:D

Dear Fellow Forum Members, Does anyone know of military miniature or toy soldier stores in Rome and Florence? I would need the name and hopefully the address of these establishments. Thanks:)

Dear Raymond, I have not been checking the Forum too much lately and missed this thread. I have been collecting the Streets of Old Hong Kong series since 1986, and have watched the development of this series, which can be described as the longest, continually produced theme made by K&C. The...
