Hows about a Centurion Tank,plenty of colour schemes and variations ,some still in service,failing that a Chieftain tank or a Challenger Tank seen as the Forces of valour one seems thin on the ground:(

The Zulus look pretty impressive,whats the size 54mm or 60mm,most of my Zulu war collection is Trophy and Britain's so i don't really want to start collecting in 60mm:eek:

Glad to hear you're happy with the figures,i really just cannot get enough of these figures at the moment,i have to admit they are pretty colorful that's what attracted me to them in the first place,i am saving up for some more conquistadors (possibly the cannon) at the march London Show.I hope...

Hope you don't mind me butting in the Charleys war is available in 5 hardback collections,try Amazon they are £8.99 a volume, i forgot how detailed the artwork is and how much anti war Charleys war actually is, truly excellent!:) Has anybody else purchased the different bound collections of...

I love these figures,there's not much for this period in history,you have to remember that its totally a one man band,i have never had a problem with this company or their figures,the figures are available as castings if you want to save some money!The only slight downside is that they don't...

I suppose its that when you are used to collecting King&Country,rightly or wrongly,in my mind i start to associate the Del Prado figures with King&Country and their standards. I mean if you look at their own hype on their website: http://www.delpradosoldiers.com/index.php it says over 6 million...

It might be just me or childhood memories,but most horses i have bumped into have been massive and quite stubborn and overpowering (especially if me and the family are picking Fruit,or near a gate,go figure;)) i shouldn't judge all horses as equal:D steve

Hi all, i just the loveTrophy Boxer Rebellion sets,i was going at one time to purchase the Peking Gate,but purchased the Zulu war storehouse instead.:)I used to go to Maison Militaire in the UK,they did have at the time have a large collection of Trophy Boxer rebellion sets,i also seem to...

Hi Benjamin,yes i do own these but haven't thought about repainting them,but when you think about they are cheaper then white metal kits,so maybe i shouldn't complain:D I really think what lets the newer figures down is the almost lack of shading,and the midget horses:eek: Heres some images of...

I have mixed feelings about Del Prado,without them and their affordable figures i wouldn't have started collecting King and Country.I have collected most of their series and have to say the Napoleonic foot figures are the best,and easy to pick up off eBay uk, i am collecting Cavalry through the...

Excellent must have one:D If anybody's interested i think it bears a strong resemblance to Matchbox American Infantry?They were actually some of my most played with childhood plastic figures,pity the range wasn't increased with new subjects:(

Hi again,for those that requested some images of my new Trophy Sets,once sorry about the quality of the images! The 1st set is WW1 American Infantry on the march GW16 (USMC) in Montana Peak Hats,on viewing the set i made the mistake of thinking they were New Zealand or Australian infantry,but...
