    March newsletter!!!!!

    Noah: I agree and that is why I see Matt being spread so thin. Seems like the Naps, WWII, ACW others all want in on his teams creations. It is hard to be all things to all collectors. For me I collect primarily one war, one side and one branch so I'm selfish. It is not like other makers have not...

    March newsletter!!!!!

    Brad: Incredible quality on those infantry. If anyone wants to look into the future FL makes it on quality. I realize you get what you pay for. The FL Napoleonic Cavalry runs $129 to $159 per figure. Pricey yes but what depth and drama. Noah: The last thing I wanted was for Matt to pull all the...

    March newsletter!!!!!

    Matt: Your dismounted Union Cavalry are mind blowing...exquisite. I feel part to blame for your having to delay the rollout to replace the Spencer repeating Carbines and Blakeslee boxes off the initial projected release figures. These troopers are fantastic. Sometimes the delay justifies the...

    Guard Corps Confederate Dismounted Cavalry - 2 Groups Unboxed

    Hi Gideon: The package of ten figures arrived today. They are perfect. I placed them in my curio alongside the five figures I have...the same as your remaining six (excluding the bugler). I wanted to know if you knew how many in this line that Alan Silk...Guard Corps Ltd actually made of the...

    Selling this nice set of five Rebels: four with gray jackets, one butternut. One is an officer with pistol/sword, the other four holding Sharps carbines. Includes original box. Not being made anymore since the passing of Alan Silk.

    ACW Dismounted Cavalry

    Those are really nice Gideon. I too have a set of dismounted Rebel Cavalry five figures (bit different) and without risking a blatant hijacking of this thread am going to offer them up in the classified section. I firmly believe that the Guard Corps Ltd figures are closer to 1/35 scale in size...

    New ACW Releases Possibly

    Thanks Mike...stay warm in this weather. I hope you can put together a solid rendition of cavalry troopers skirmishing in 2011 on the heels of the Union troopers set for January release and the hinted mounted and dismounted Confederate products on the drawing board.

    New ACW Releases Possibly

    I plan on joining the Collectors Club for 2011 just to purchase the dismounted 1st Virginia Cavalry trooper and to get a head start on any other mounted or dismounted Confederate Cavalry for 2011. Richard and Ken have indicated that they will not neglect this segment of the ACW and with the...

    new ACW Confederate Generals

    Richard/Ken: Excellent. Another great layer to the Britains ACW line. Just imagine if you could produce/deliver some Confederate Cavalry Generals. Obviously J.E.B. Stuart has been done (dismounted). Consider Jeb's two heir apparents: Wade Hampton of South Carolina (1st/2nd S.C.) or Fitzhugh Lee...

    New ACW Releases??

    Great news. The Britain's ACW line is the gold standard for us collectors. Priced right, great quality and superb composition. I'm glad to wait into 2011 for the dismounted Union Cavalry. That set is quite nice and augments a collection quite well. Likewise a possible rollout of dismounted Rebel...

    ACW - Gray Tsunami

    Mike: Nice set up particularly that first photo. Imagine that group formed up attacking Buford's dismounted cavalry day one at Gettysburg. I suspect come January once WB rolls out the rest of the Union dismounted cavalry that you will put together a good interpretation of Heth's men making their...

    Frontline/ Battlescene Productions.

    Nick: It's great to hear you planning a diorama or scene with Frontline's splendid Civil War Cavalry. Accordingly I feel the quality of the figures is top flight having just procured a lot of ten Confederate Cavalry figures from Andy Moffat. Incredible detail and execution of poses. Andy offers...

    What's your next purchase?

    Still waiting patiently for the delayed rollout of the balance of WB's ACW dismounted Union Cavalry.The catalog photos reveal this group as a tremendous set. Those figures will augment any display or diorama based on Ken Osen's splendid artistry and WB's high quality painting teams. Richard...

    If I could sculpture some ACW figures

    Mike: Having seen your quality work as a photographer of primarily WB miniatures, I must assume that no photos can be released of the master otherwise I suspect we would have seen one by know.

    If I could sculpture some ACW figures

    Now that Mike (I hope you are not in trouble for that preemptive data point) has revealed a dismounted 1st Va. cavalryman to be released in the Collectors Club category for 2011...I'm floating on air knowing that WB will probably roll out for 2011 a fine line of additional dismounted Confederate...

    WB OTSN Chicago

    Mike: Based on that news: If we took the 2010 WB strategy to roll out a collectors club figure in conjunction with regular releases such as figure 50015C being a great compliment to the other dismounted Union Cavalry figures that are slated for late fall rollout, I can assume then that the...

    Release updates

    I trade e mails with Richard Walker...class person...marketing genius, he gives me his view that the production delays were unforseseen. He has it fixed. Most 2010 releases should be on the market by December. If not early 2011. He promises lots of great new products for 2011. He believes in...

    ACW - The Watchers

    Mike: Here is a great lesson in gray...from the book "Battle Cry of Freedom" by James McPherson page 262 color photo: "The first eight Wisconsin regiments that marched off to war in 1861 initially wore gray uniforms...evidentally because of a shortage of blue dye. The confusion caused by this...
