Nice!

Sorry about the pics - having a hard time with the light and focus. The pockets and buttons are raised, but the face is fairly flat other than what is painted on.

A few years ago I was in a gift shop in St. Augustine and happened to come upon a display of glossy metal soldiers depicting the local Spanish military during the 1700s. I purchased a figure and was told by the sales associate that the owner casted and painted the soldiers himself. I had been...

Awesome - can't wait to see more!

Any new sets come out lately?

Nice!

Great figures! Always love to see more diversity with plastics!

Very cool - first alt-history conversions I've seen! Did you sculpt the helmets?

Good stuff!

I was over at Goodreads looking through the "What's the Name of That Book" section and came across this interesting post: WHEN-1950-1960's What the story is about: I never read the book, but always wanted to. The book features a future sci-fi world where combat is between super snipers...

Have to check out Uncommon Valor - been a while since I've seen it, so that may be the one.

Last year I stumbled across a post on Kindertrauma (a site dedicated to all the pop culture stuff that freaked you out as a kid) concerning a war movie the poster had seen when young but had forgotten the title to. The post is as follows: "I saw this movie on free T.V. in the NYC area in the...

Found an old image on Ebay from a past sale - it's the set, but I can't make out the manufacturer. I do recall the one the boy is holding is a Vulcan. Have any pics of the Rigby sets, Al?

I can't remember who made them, but aside from the one below (which is labeled as a lifting body), there were a few other designs including a light...

That's it! You're good!

My son wants to dress up like a S.W.A.T. team member for Halloween this year, but he wants to mix and match some clothes and accessories. I did the same thing years ago, and remember finding a cap at a surplus store that had a cool look to it. It was solid black, flat-topped and had a solid...

Gotcha. Hope Nick can eventually get more out. I'd love to see a few prone guys and a flamethrower in the mix.

That's what I thought, but I saw a mention of "more marines coming" in an old thread, and I thought there may have been an add-on set at some point.

How many sets have been made so far?

Just stumbled onto a post over at Goodreads with an interesting inquiry. The poster is looking for the name of a novel her grandfather read in the '50s about a malady that spreads through a Pearl Harbor hospital a few days after the attack and causes coughing fits. Sound familiar to anyone?
