Dave, Probably by the Britains copyright description on the belly of the horse. The wording/display used to change over the years, but I'm not an expert, so can't say. I know that it was produced in the 1950s and I think into the 60s. I have a post-war set, easily identified since its in a...

Check London Bridge Collector's Toys Awesome to see some old figures photos posted. Once I'm able to unpack some of my collection and ship the rest here to my new home, I can post also. Unfortunately, it may be a while. Dave, You are right that the Field Marshal is from set 201. This set was...

Fantastic looking display and rooms! Makes me want to refinish my basement and get my figures out of boxes. I like the dispaly cabinets, especially the little ones, they highlight individual tanks well. That big castle on the middle table, is that K&C?

Richard, Have you ever been on Beckett.com? They have a "My Collections" capability that allows one to maintain a personal list on the site indicating which sports cards (or could be Britains figures) they have with a photo and accompanying data. One just has to search for the photos/items in...

Thanks Michael and Dave, Sounds like this is the way to go, at least until they are posted on the new Britains website (hopefully) or a new book comes out by Joplin or Opie.

Sam, I don't have a list of the new Britains produced since the 1980s and unfortunately I don't have all my catalogues with me. This is something I've suggested be published on the revised Britains website. Lets see if it happens.

Chuck, Please send me the file to hghenry3@yahoo.ca Thanks in advance!

Richard, Please see HaT Industries for examples of a Tips on general modelling, painting, and all periods' uniforms guide.

Richard, Here is an example of a company that uses Flash and other web technology well to describe the company ANRI, a world renowned wood carving manufacturer. I like the sections on the ANRI Factory that you can zoom into, get 360 views, as well as the development and history of the company's...

Richard, I realize your priority will be NEW figures but please don't forget the Vintage and pre-1966 lead, plastic and even pre-First Gear figures. To this end, here is a good article for lead collectors on lead rot by author George R.R. Martin and his pages on knights. Other useful Website...

Richard, Michigan Toy Soldier Co is an example of how to show new releases. I would think all new releases should be shown, hyper-linked back to the main series page.

Great website suggestions so far, perhaps I can add and summarize, in no particular order: 1) Discussion Forum Section 2) Photo Gallery Section, figures by series, period, years of production, with recommended prices, hyper-linked to retailers, catalogue ref, 360 degree video views, photos of...

Richard, I think everyone will agree high-detail painting is the first priority. I liked the photo covers used for the earlier WWII figures. I think they would again be popular and worth the extra cost. I also like the burgundy boxes, since I'm also a vintage Britains collector and they are a...

Very organized! I would like eventually to do something similar. I recall seeing some years ago a computer application available for purchase that had all the Britains new models in it. It was too expensive though. Which site do you use to download Britains photos?

Leadman, Great WW1 diaorama, makes me want to collect WW1. :)

Thanks Carlos, I will check it.

Carlos, Thanks for getting some Britains photos up. Its good to see Richard, Ken and others are doing a great job. The figures sculpting, poses, and painting are excellent. I am happy to see that the scenic are such that they can be used in various periods. Re new Super Deetail figures, I...

Dave, They originally were smaller format, almost half the current size.

Do any of you other Britains Collector Club members know what year The Standard changed from small to its current size? Mine aren't with me here in Ottawa and I want to order some binders?:confused:
