You might want to try Gunnings, although they haven't updated their list in about 5 years: http://www.gunnings.com/miniature_roman_empire.html You'll find Him listed as 'JC'

HarryTheHeid, Intersting to note that you're in Klaipeda, which was one of those stalking horse pretexts the Nazis used to guilt-trip British and French inter-War politicians regarding the Versailles settlement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaip%C4%97da_Region Unsurprisingly enough...

I gather that the Archduke's death was a relatively painful one, and that (according to the Hapsburg propaganda machine) his last words were to his dying/dead wife he was cradling in his arms as he himself bled to death. All that blood/gore mightn't necessarily look too good on the back seat of...

The Market Garden mess also began to unfold on this date, 17th Sept 1944

I didn't see any other thread on this, but it has been brought to my attention that Peter Dale has passed away: http://www.britains-toy-soldiers.com/ I regularly bought from him in 2003 or so, but in recent years had moved to eBay, and to US dealers on account of the exchange rate, VAT and so...

The Irish Toy Soldier Museum is run by Sam Watson, who is a toy soldier retailer (and a Britains and King & Country dealer). He's based in the Smithfield Market in Belfast. I met him at a Dublin show in Clontarf and he had some of the most exquisite AeroArt and other Russian miniatures on...

... or they could be making a last stand in the Tatra Mountains in 1945: http://www.feldgrau.com/4hg.html

I am pleasantly surprised with the inclusion of some Gebirgsjager. I might use them in the Eastern Front, but up in the early battles of the Arctic theatre rather than down in the Caucasian mountain ranges: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Silver_Fox Then again I can see them being...

Here in Ireland there were a few delusional people who thought that the team would do well in the World Cup. Their unimpressive run in the 6 Nations didn't seem to dispel people of this unfounded belief - some even said that it was just what they needed to improve them so the team has had to...

I personally don't see why the light bulb needs to change at all: the glossy one with wooden filament was perfect ...

Thanks chaps for all the information: what had thrown me was the small amount of paint loss on the gun barrel, which made it look a little different from Zulu A. Hopefully he has more of these.

Hi, I'm having difficulty with my camera and my scanner (which is acting up after a few auctions I listed yesterday) so I'm going to have difficulty posting images. Basically I have a K&C glossy Zulu, although it isn't marked K&C on the base. The seller was adamant that he got it via K&C UK...

The Rough Riders (RR) and 7th Cavalry (TW) have something similar, and all the 1997/98 Afrika Korps (AK) were just Waffen SS (WS) repaints. It's a common occurrence in early K&C matte sets, getting the most castings possible from the moulds. I'd say Louis has a chapter on it all.

Even if he wasn't biologically of Jewish descent, the likelihood of him being commonly associated with being Jewish would've been quite likely given the circumstances. I'm not saying that the practice of "blackface" actors in theatre would have any idea of the experiences of people of African...

Brad, If you go to your eBay home page you'll find on the bottom left a "global sites" option. Take Hong Kong and then of the top 5 buttons on the top-right you just pick the one furthest left with the 3 symbols. (They mean "buy"), i.e. the layout is just like the global one. You then just...

Wikipedia can be a good starting point if you're researching something but it certainly shouldn't be what you'd rely upon for the last word on anything. However, the quality is quite good and if you're multilingual you'll find that many of the language version discussion points on articles can...

As a teenager (not exactly last year or the one before) I used to snarl away at a few SLF songs, Henry Cluney in Minnesota? That'd tie in with the Christian rock thing of Treefrog alright!

Same here - if I were to charge the actual shipping cost then I'd never sell a thing, so I often flat-rate it to allow for a greater degree of transparency for the buyer. Here in Ireland the postal services charge for a "dimensional weight", which I gather means trebling or quadrupling the...

I hate to sound cynical but the Russians look like they've been 'photo-shopped' from a street scene to the railway. Similarly the Black Watch look like they've been moved from a training ground to a more frontline scene. (Note the boots and the grass). If I'm right then it probably was done for...

Why not buy a replica sword? They were used in the Sharpes films which featured Seán Bean. Vectis are selling quite a few Napoleonic era film props.
