The Zulu War does seem to swamp other campaigns of this era but Freddie 'Bobs' Roberts is one of my favourite but not necessarily best commanders of Queen Vic's reign. Wolseley was an excellent commander, logistically savvy and an excellent self-publicist to boot. But Roberts really did see the...

After Christmas there was a very definite lull in proceedings. January simply dragged like a wet Wednesday in Wigan. Everything worth buying had been bought. Everything worth ogling had been ogled....twice. Boredom reigned last month. I found myself becoming embroiled in open discussions...

My first reaction when I saw the ME Brits was; having been issued with KD shorts why would they be wearing serge service tunics. I didn't know that they mixed and matched. However, Martin at IWM didn't mention this so I assume all is ok and probably best not to bother him again until Monday! I'm...

Mainly good news regarding the 8th Btn LF figures for the rivet counters amongst us. I've spoken to my chum, the uniforms curator at IWM London, and he has said and I quote 'the 8th LF (42nd Div) did wear 1903 equipment as seen in the pictures and in this order. If I'm going to offer just the...

At last. The Brits in the Middle East. I thought it was never gonna happen. Sold.

I think they may need an ambulance on standby just in case something goes awry. Can you help Major?!?

That's a very fine set up Robin. Due to commitments with other lines I've had to resist this set but thanks to you and the likes of the Lt, I can still enjoy it. Well done.

I know Al. My Paypal account is in a very parlous state, so much so that I have literally just this minute asked for an ambulance to be sent, which is on its way very soon.......a Model T from 1918{sm5} %^V

Cheers for the responses. I don't think there are too many left (of the MacLaren Sopwith's), so very pleased to take possession of one. By the sound of it I have another little addition arriving soon too. :wink2:

Just wondering whether the 'eagle-eyed' have spotted something in the main picture containing the RR and allied crew, some of which are also new. There's a vehicle partly in shot at the edge.

I was given a clue about the RR but wasn't permitted to say anything! Happy days. {sm4}

Buying JJD items is a bit like opening a tube of Pringles. Once you pop.....................!!! But unlike eating Pringles, you don't become obese.

These turned up today. I came late to the MacLaren party but it was worth the wait!

That is interesting indeed. The crossing of the Tugela at Colenso would certainly see me part with some money. It seemed a fairly popular choice on the JJD poll. I expressed my interest on there too.

You sir, are on fire.

Has anyone got the inside track as to when pics of the new releases will be posted on here? The choice is stark. Do I buy a new Sigma lens this month or will JJD produce a cavalcade of items that I cannot resist?!

Cheers for the quick response JB. That's excellent news. I'm going in! Regards Michael

Before I use a free online translator and no doubt unwittingly end up asking the proprieter whether goats often mate wearing skis, has anyone in the UK bought anything from Zinnfigurenshop in Germany? I can't see that they ship to the UK and rather tantalisingly they have something I want. Has...

Re: what new figures from a different war period would everybody like to see from K&C I've only just realised my post has been deleted for political discussion. I'm practically apolitical. I didn't say anything political whatsoever. I didn't say anything worthwhile either but then again I...

Re: what new figures from a different war period would everybody like to see from K&C Breitenfeld. This month is dragging while we await new releases is it not?
