Isn't the price set by the manufacturer the international price? Then to local taxes and duties have to be added. For example, here in Australia there is a 10% GST (goods and Sales Tax) added, similar to UK with their VAT and so on. The US dealers can also advertise as same the international...

WOW, nice looking troops, I'd like to see them set up in a massed charge !!! John

What is the melting temperature of lead ?????? John

Wolfgang, thanks for the link to Berlin Zinnfiguren, I should have had a look at their site for the books. I have even visited the shop on my last visit to Berlin 8 years ago, a definite destination for toy soldier collectors. :) John

Victor, thats better, much more realistic too , JOhn

I didn't realise Conte was still in the business??? John

Oh they look like they need lots of filler for the holes, or the rubbish bin ???? John

Yes, that could be coming, and NO toy soldiers out of China???? John

Looking forward to seeing your pics of the diorama, but could you maybe also post a new thread on SHOWS & SHOW REPORTS so that others can see what we have 'down under at our only Toy Soldier Show? I'll have to get back over the Adelaide at Easter to check it out one year, and inspect you new...

Wolfgang, WOW, what a brilliant set of books, I'd love to see them, but alas I suppose they are no longer around. The best books for the era I have are the pair by Dorn and Engelmann 'The Infantry Regiments of Frederik the Great' and 'The Cavalry Regiments of Frederik the Great' but they are...

Guns and gunners, just what I like to see :) John

Charles Stadden made an 80mm model figure but its been long retired, maybe try searching in UK for one there? John

I painted these 2 figures for a local collector, and they are supposed to be Col Robert Baden Powell in South Africa. I think that someone has done conversion and then a recast of a Stadden figure on the left but I don't know about the one on the right. I pained them to look like BP and so...

Brad, I found an image of a page of a Bussler catalogue, and I have 'starred' 2 of my figures. Thanks again for that info, John

Bob, great to see the figures all setup in your diorama, keep up the great work and post more for us to see. I have painted the set of Hecker & Goros 40th Regt Fusiliers and your 'shouting sergeant' is seen here in the centre. John

I was glad to be of assistance with these drummers, and I'm looking forward to seeing them in colour when released, John OB

I think you have found the maker, well done !!! Yes, the square base, the same coding for the kits, SP-*** and the way that the arms is attached is the same as my figures. No, there was no box with mine, they came in a clear plastic zip-lock bag, but the instructions confirm the identification...

I recently bought these 3 figures as castings from an intestate seller in Australia. They came with painting instructions, but they have no maker's identification on that, nor on the casting, so can anyone identify the maker? L - R SP-185 British 1st Foot Guards grenadier 1776 SP-160 General...

Yes, but that wat the majority of US voters wanted, isn't that democracy??? John

Probably only if you buy from a US shop, so stick to a local one where the postage is cheaper too !!! John
