Mike: As always excellent depiction, historically relevent and accurate with superb composition.

Definitely that splendid group of dismounted ACW Union Cavalry. Superb execution and realism. Hopefully Richard and Ken will then roll out for 2011 a nice set of generic dismounted Confederate Cavalry deployed along the stone walls of Aldie and Upperville or the split rail wooden fences at...

Ken: We are overdue for some CSA Cavalry... mounted or dismounted...you decide...we are at your mercy.

I am going to second Mike's motion to add Confederate Cavalry circa 1863 and onward. WB really hit a home run with there 10 rider series (no number 7 fence jumper...lacks the right jacket) 1st Virginia Cavalry. I have combined that whole ten figure mounted set with the 1st generation Mosby into...

Thanks Mike...You are music to my ears. I like other manufacturers but W Britains is what I collect and once you build a loyalty to a brand you stick with it. To that end we need more Confederate Cavalry. Richard and Ken have what it takes to expand that line out in 2011 and I'm sure they will...

Mike: I agree great articulation and interpretation by Ken and likewise, Mike, your photography and staging is as always top notch. The essence of artillery is packaged tightly with this well executed sculpt and your great usage of scenery. At some point with the 150th anniversary of the ACW...

Matt: The 55th North Carolina has raised the bar for any manufacturer attempting to portray Rebel Infantry.Fantastic works of art. Obviously the axiom "you get what you pay for" is in full force as I see my initial investment of $600 covering the first ten figures and I'll set the rest of my...

Brian: The 20th Massachusettes is a perfect compliment to the 5th Texas. However us cavalry afficianados thought that you guys would roll out the compliment to Mosby's Rangers...a specific Federal Cavalry regiment of six or seven blue clad mounted troops bearing the look of a specified Union...

The 5th Texas from Collectors Showcase is a splendid example of a specific unit being depicted in such extraordinary poses and positions. It should go without saying that on the heels of this rollout and the prior one of Mosby's Rangers/CSA Cavalry that if indeed a specified Union Cavalry unit...

This thread has taken on a bit of an adversarial flavor. It may be warranted but it is not necessary in my opinion. The world of toy soldier collecting is a passion for many and just a hobby to some. Accordingly the creations of Richard Conte and Conteco are indeed a force in the collecting...

Dave: You have to admit that Ken really does craft some nice figures. Fact of the matter is Federal Cavalry is always a challenge. They were the most well equipped yet underachieving branch in the Civil War. Ask yourself why they could not get their act together until they finally decided to...

Mark: It should go without saying that the brilliant artistry of Ken Osen and the ultra skilled marketing of Richard Walker will make the 150th annniversary of the start of the ACW to be a memorable one for the Wm Britain's line next year. They always seem to roll out timeless,high quality...

Thanks Pat..."Ride around McClellen" with the 1st Virginia Cavalry figures by Britains is in the finishing stages. Frontline's Figures seem to capture the essence of Confederate Cavalry for the other diorama. I know Matt at First Legion told me he would be doing Confederate Cavalry...

If there is anyone who has accumalated some Frontline Confederate Cavalry figures that you would like to sell or trade I'm interested. There is a shortage of quality mid to late war Rebel cavalry figures available today. Frontline seems to have the best figures out there for the right depiction...

Thanks Matt...This line is taking on a life of its own already. Just remember when you get into the 8th inning of this endeavour that us Confederate Cavalry afficianados really want and desire the classic example of Rebels much as they appeared jaded and exhausted from the previous month's...

Matt: Are the infantry depictions going to be transferable to say a Day 2 Devil's Den or Little Round Top depiction or usage for that matter Day 3 Pickett's Charge scenario? Or am I wrong and that separate sets of Rebel Infantry will be introduced in later releases? At any rate your initial...

Matt: Twenty two Confederate infantry figures is just incredible. What about the East Cavalry field Rebels? Can we expect at least 8 or more? Mounted or dismounted? I think the volume of informed hobbyists weighing in with tremendous accolades speaks volumes to your endeavour. I would not be the...

Matt: That is all I needed to read. I suspect it may be a year or two for that line to reach me but after the execution of the infantry marchers...I suspect members of Heth's Corps searching for shoes marching up the Cashtown Rd. into Gettysburg... the wait will be worth it. The colors used in...

Matt: Your quality and execution of this topic is superb. I sincerely hope that you will tackle a series of Confederate cavalry either mounted or dismounted. If they are on par with the infantry you will take the hobby up another level. Really nice work. Most impressive.

Bob etal: With the upcoming release of the six dismounted Union cavalrymen along with General Buford this summer it was obvious that the squad could use a little more leadership besides Buford. Once again Richard and Ken give us logical and realistic figures that can be spliced into clever and...
