    Things that annoy me

    I've said it here in this forum, and elsewhere. Weather reporting long ago turned into ratings-based weathertainment. Prost! Brad

    Trying to Identify A Maker

    Not trying to be a smart-aleck, but have you tried any web searches? It would help to know where you may already have looked. I ran a search just now on "american fronter limited edition" which returned a lot of hits, but not this figure. The first hit returned, though, was for an artist...

    Bill Sager

    You didn't mention how you tried to contact him. This is his website: https://www.sagerssoldiers.com/ There's a phone number listed there, and there's a Contact Us page, which lists an email address. Did you try either of those?

    Fate of Alexanders Toy Soldiers?

    A quick search for the error message text on the web returned posts that suggest the issue is with ATS' site or host, that it's blocking some traffic. That would explain why some can't access but others can. Prost! Brad

    Fate of Alexanders Toy Soldiers?

    What's the URL you have, John? I still get the error, using http://www.ats-uk.net/. I'm running Firefox 130.0 on a Win10 laptop. I haven't tried clearing the browser cache yet; there may be something cached that caused the problem. I haven't tried any other browser and platform yet, but I did...

    Fate of Alexanders Toy Soldiers?

    The website shows, "Web Page Blocked! The page cannot be displayed. Please contact the administrator for additional information. URL: www.ats-uk.net/ Client IP: 64.121.175.249 Attack ID: 20000018" That's not necessarily a sign that ATS is out of business. It could also be a technical...

    status of unused military figures

    Not really anything to research. When you have figures left over-say you bought a box of 40 but you only used 10-they go in to what we call The Stash, or in the case of figures, the Grey Army (referring to figures that are primed but not painted). If you think you'll never use them, or don't...

    Things that annoy me

    Golf Channel does that, too. At least the split screen isn't as odious as cutting away completely for a commercial. You can still see what's happening in the game or tournament. Prost! Brad

    Things that annoy me

    When people say that football is more exciting than baseball, I point out that football is an hour-long game, played in 3 1/2 to 4 hours' time. Prost! Brad

    Trouble with French 4th cuirassier FPW033

    I don't think the sculpt or casting is in error. I think that depicts two different positions in the saber drill. If there's an error, perhaps it's in the photos that are posted with the same designation. Have you tried reaching out to First Legion to ask? Prost! Brad

    Pickelhaube Miniatures, Australia

    Yes! I bought a lot of the Alexander Grenadier sets when Guard Corps was still in business. That was a joint venture between Ed Lober and Alan Silk, who had their own lines, respectively. They did the sculpting here and had the casting done in Hong Kong by a company called FairTech, Inc...

    Pickelhaube Miniatures, Australia

    If I'm not mistaken, we have a thread or subforum for Pickelhaube here in the forum. His figures were nice, but the namesake piece of equipment on his Imperial troops wasn't quite right. He made the rear brim a little too long, more like the British pith helmet than the actual Pickelhaube. You...

    Saw This and Thought 'America - Really.............'

    Meh. Campaign memorabilia has been sold from the early days of our republic. It always reflects prevailing tastes. I'm sure it's not uniquely American to have it. Prost! Brad

    Need Information looking for a name.

    Yes, I also cut a piece of metal sheet for horses, if there's no kit base. I got some Stadden horse castings that needed bases, for example. Many kit horses that I get, like Imrie-Risley, come with a nice white metal base, and I use those. Agreed, hopefully that helps David. Prost! Brad

    New Forum Look

    It might seem like a minor point, but it was a feature of the previous version. In my work, application development, when a new version lacks a feature that was present in a previous version, that's called a regression. Granted that it may be that the feature was dropped because the new...

    Need Information looking for a name.

    I starting using steel bases made for wargamers, for my single figures. They are an inch square, which is about the size of the one-off bases I used to cut from copper roof flashing. I got them from War Game Accessories in Florida. Their website is www.wargameaccessories.com. I think they...

    Need Information looking for a name.

    Yeah, I had the same thought, johnnybach. For his bases, he used metal stock that he cut to size and shape. David, you could look through his threads, because I asked him that very question in one of them. I had been using a piece of copper roof flashing for bases, and I was curious about the...

    Things that annoy me

    This is a repeat, so that probably annoys some, but-people who plant their slow ***** in the passing lane and just cruise at or under the speed limit. People who don't pull over when you flash your headlights at them. And people who still sit in the passing lane when you pass them on the right...
