He was also excellent in his role as a German officer in "The Bridge at Remagen"

I hope my two previous posts were not taken out of context. I was drawn to this thread by the impending production of Marc Forster's "The Downslope" an adaptation of Stanley Kubrick's screenplay on his interpretation of the revengeful efforts of Union General George Custer against Confederate...

Watched the movie last night. Wow! If indeed the battlefield depictions were historically accurate then Okinawa lives up to its historical name: "The Last Battle". It was a tough, gruesome and costly fight. Perhaps when the US political and military establishment buttssed this battle and...

I'm not sure the Washington Post is exactly objective in their analysis of an anti war film. That publication like most has ulterior motives. Last I noticed they are still selling advertising on their pages. I will gladly plop a few coins down and go see the film, make up my own mind. As for...

Bob: Your interpretations of the ACW as exemplified in this terrific thread are light years ahead of anyone both sides of the Atlantic. Fairly sure respected students of the ACW like Mike in Wisconsin and Chris in Kentucky as well as many others would concur. Hope you keep this thread going as...

I hope WB can roll out some ACW products that have been promised for it seems like 2 1/2 years. For example supposedly an ACW Union horse holder grasping his mount and three other horses: a classic rendition of how ACW cavalry actually deployed as sharp shooters in dismounted encounters. Three...

The UK's membership in the EU has always appeared to be a bit peculiar. The UK never adopted the Euro as their currency instead maintaining the pound as their money type. The UK did not adopt itself to the continents visa free zone called "Schengen" (even the two proclaimed neutrals Swiss and...

For the record "Wingnut Wings" , Peter Jackson's wildly successful New Zealand based manufacturer of WW1 aviation 1/32 scale model kits has announced that they have a Sopwith Camel in their production phase set for release later this year. Previous Sopwith Camel models namely the 1/28 scale...

NBA basketball is not rigged. If it were Nevada (the only state that allows this activity) sports books would see irregular betting patterns on select NBA games. This was exemplified when a criminal scandal broke in NCAA basketball years ago (1995) when two Arizona State basketball players...

Outstanding portrayal of Rebel's in frock coats. WB depicts ACW very well. Still asking for some mounted or dismounted Confederate cavalry...pleading OK begging.

Nice figurines. Great prices. FL is on to something. Would really like to see FL also do a batch of mounted Confederate cavalry say 8 to 12 figurines in this lower priced line. Seems like every manufacturer in the industry avoids depicting Confederate Cavalry in both mounted and dismounted...

Would like to see a continuation of the dismounted ACW 1st Virginia cavalry troopers that were Collectors Club rollouts in 2011 and 2013. Perhaps a third trooper uniformed in the black hussar bar jacket gripping a Sharps carbine like the other previous two assembled as sharpshooters on a small...

Chris: Nice job. Good use of scenics with the figurines. Makes them come alive. You previously did a terrific depiction of Federal artillery. Now you are due for a cavalry scene if Ken can deliver some pertinent inventory over the next few quarters.

Would like to see some Confederate Cavalry in both mounted and dismounted depictions preferably mid to late war. The whole industry has somewhat neglected this branch on the grey side of the ledger for many years. Collectors Showcase and their nine trooper two Mosby centric rollouts helped...

I agree Mike. WB is a a terrific manufacturer. They set a lot of trends in this hobby. I view their products as top flight, very accomadating to the wishes of their custumers. It is virtually impossible to be all things to all conflicts, interests or areas of collecting. It is clear they are in...

Zulu: PM sent.

Mike: Thanks for the offer on that figure. I purchased that one as a Collectors Club member few years back. Was all set to buy 50040-c as a Collectors Club pick in July but something came up and I did not re up my membership for 2013. Now for 2014 new figures are offered none that interest me...

Seeing if anyone has a spare of this figurine:Circa 1861 1st Virginia Cavalry trooper firing carbine in the original box. If available send me a pm. Thanks

Offering virtually the complete line. Have 20 of the 21 figurines (no bugler) made in four boxed sets. Have two of the four original boxes. Great sculpts and variation in the poses. No two are alike. Condition is excellent...a few have some minor chips. Price for the rare set is $400. Send me a...

Brad: That is a nice depiction to the lore of ACW Cavalry. A friend of mine owns probably the only known surviving example of an orange piped ACW era shell jacket. He owns a size one circa 1858 1st US Dragoon issue jacket. It's the smallest size 1 of the 4 sizes made. When I viewed this gem 35...
