    the first standard of 2022

    You have 29 posts on this forum, and most of them are not just negative, but mean. You continually spout hate against various manufacturers, especially Britains, and claim they are in their death throes. When a company releases something, you ridicule it. No, you do not provide helpful...

    KING & COUNTRY Dispatches -- September 2022

    G-d save His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty The Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary I. Ferenc József! I am overjoyed at this release of the man many of my ancestors fought for. I hope to see Sisi or some Magyar troops on parade. I think the Hungarian Noble Guard would be...

    Hitler's Watch

    I bid on another item in this auction that had decent provenance and lost, but a lot of Third Reich stuff is fake or mis-labeled. I have seen some doubt on the watch itself, but even if it is the real deal, Combat is right that there is no evidence Hitler ever wore it. That said, the watch...

    The Danish Royal Guards

    I love the expansion into a few non-Commonwealth ceremonial figures. It would be great to get some American or Hungarian figures....

    Another Military Museum in Austria

    It really is an amazing military museum, probably one of the top three I have ever visited.

    VID soldiers - Napoleonic russian army sets

    It is great to hear from you, my prayers are with you. Maybe you could make some Zaporizhzhian Cossacks from the Sich/Hetmantate or some Ukrainian Sich Riflemen?

    Gunn miniatures update

    Roosevelt in a wheelchair: I don't think anyone has done this yet, and I think it would be both important and interesting. Frederick Russel Burnham, Robert Baden Powell, Fredrick Selous, and Cecil Rhodes: All these famous scouts and British South African figures would make an excellent...

    What else do you collect beside toy soldiers

    I, too, have been stricken with the firearm-collecting disease. At last count, I have around 25 -- only one is relatively modern. Some of the more unusual pieces are: -A Murata T22, the Japanese rifle used during the Russo-Japanese War -Three inter-war police guns, including a Dreyse M1907 and...

    I love these shore leave figures -- I may get one as a gift for a retired Navy friend. It would be great to get some U.S. Army figures on leave!

    Attica Miniatures

    Thank you for a touching post. In times of violence and hatred, it is important to strengthen ties between good people in all places.

    Honest, not sarcastic question? Are Britians still releasing stuff.

    As to the quality of the Britains Northmen and WWII figures, they are not bland at all and the detail/scaling is excellent. Unlike some other companies, Britains and First Legion tend to put historical accuracy over more theatrical and dramatic considerations. My intension is not to denigrate...

    KING & COUNTRY Dispatches -- October 2021

    Entering into a relationship with a person doing evil as a means of survival is of course tragic and does not reflect negatively on the survivor. Of course many after liberation did not see this, or more accurately, they chose to ignore it. Many women became targets of post-liberation violence...

    Regiment ID or uniform reference please

    I think I figured it out! Pre-1987, the Royal Artillery Band wore the No.1 Dress Blues instead of the unique, altered blue tunics they wear today. The No. 1 Dress Blues, still in use by many non-band units, have pockets. See a picture of the band in 1980 and a few links below. Note that the...

    KING & COUNTRY Dispatches -- October 2021

    It’s interesting that there has not been much comment on the two female collaborators. My fiancée’s grandmother (a Jew) survived the war hiding in a French farmhouse with her mother and sister while her father fought in the resistance. I guess I don’t have much sympathy for the collaborators...
