Ken forwarded on pics of the final version of the Greek galley. I'm having trouble posting them, so I'll settle for a description. I'm sure Ken will post pics soon. The finished galley will be approximately 5" wide, 17" long. and, with its mast, 12 inches high. There are plastic oars, a plastic...

Ken Ciak of LOD has sent pics of his Greek Galley mock up. Masts and oars are to be plastic while the body of the ship will be foam. Very, very cool. Looks like a beautiful job. Painting it's going to be fun (don't know whether it will come in a painted version). The fighting deck is close to...

Hey Gary, Missed you, too! Hopefully, this year will work out. My buddy, who lives downstairs, is certainly going to want a KV2 and a Strum Tiger VI. Wait til I show him.... he'll be a happy dude. I started him on a tank/AFV collection, giving him spares and buying stuff at shows for him. His...

Holy Cadiddlehopper! An easy 8! A Sherman 105! An M10! The 10cn German artillery piece! No, they haven't been done before, not unless you build kits. I'm with Gary. Hot ****! Thank you FOV for continuing to take a chance on this market. Dick

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love the pics. Dick

Whispers and promises supported by tantalizing photographs, possibly even glossy brochures, but, in the end, alien abduction will probably be the reality. Gary's right. And when he was actually present in the hobby, although the product was outstanding, his treatment of other manufacturers...

Still another addendum. Ron is Ron Barzso of Barzso Toys and Nick is Mr. TSSD. I think we're done now. It's late. I'm tired. Dick

Sorry, I sent out copies of my post to the Marx group to various other forums, forgetting that my Marx post was in part a reply to a friend who had also been at the Texas Show (Mike Kutnick). Mike had teased me throughout the show abt getting a Conquistador helmet for my self that I dearly...

Just wanted to add that King's X had a great party for collectors and dealers Friday ngt. Thanks to them for their hospitality. Also wanted to mention that Scott Oden was there with his fantastic Napoleonics (metal and plastic) and Build-a Rama had several tables with tons of product. Dick

Good thing I didn't get the helmet, Mike. No way it would have fit anywhere in my suitcase. Would have had to wear it on the plane. Probably not good to present yourself to an airline adorned with a steel conquistador helmet. What a sweet looking thg, tho. Gary Beadel (sp?) had it for a very...

First of all, I gotta say, what a piece!!!!! Just wow. The fort with 6 blockhouses and two gate walls looks VERY tasty. Oh my. Re: foam deterioration. I think I've bgt just about every foam piece Ron's made and NEVER had a problem with customer warpage post purchase nor heard anyone complain of...

The belly dancer is a knockout, BTW. Wow city. Bunch of us went last year to see her, some with wives, and returned this year. Dick

Just got back from TSSD's San Antonio show. What a fantastic time! Much like last year. San Antonio is beautiful with its incomparable River Walk, historic missions (including the Alamo, of course), incredible restaurants, and many exhibits/museums. Best of all was the hospitality and good...

Just a note to insure everyone knows the new TSSD guys are a figure set of 8 figs with two surprises in them rather than a playset. Here goes. Hold your breath. In addition to 6 infantry (a panzerfaust shooter, MP44 shooter, standing sniper with a Gewerh rifle and scope, kneeling schmiesher...

I remember being 6. It DID matter what the figs looked like! I 'dget him some Fubar troops or troops of similar quality. I play with my stuff pretty hard (dirt balls, paint balls, air soft pellets) and the nice stuff holds up well. 6 year olds do have an eye for detail, so I'd go for it. That's...

I don't have your e-mail address, oh kilted one. You can reach me at rwoodn618@rogers.com. Dick

Oh kilted one, what's your e-mail address? I'll forward photos as soon as I get your Address. Or you can reach me backchannel at rwoodn618@rogers.com. Dick

Let's see if the photo came thru. Nope. I have to resize it, which I don't seem to be able to do. Oh dear. Will try later. Dick

I haven't, but maybe I can take a pic tomorrow. I'll give it a shot. Dick

Just got my Blackcat Russians. Holy Maloly. What incredible figs. These are among the best toy soldiers I've EVER seen. Three dimensionality, animation, absence of undercuts (cas of multiple parts), sculptural detailing, and pose selection all excel. Suburb. Really, really suburb figs. Scotty...
