    Beware Russian 54mm figures

    I understand your point . . . however this figure was advertised as 54mm . . . which it clearly is not! Had I been aware of the actual size, I'd not bought it. Bosun Al

    Beware Russian 54mm figures

    Won a nice looking Ekcasting Russian pilot on eBay to replace a missing HECO figure (when suitably modified) only to find that it was not 54mm as advertised but rather 65mm. Wonderful detail, though! Bosun Al

    New additions and view on touching up!

    Unless they're high value I'd touch them up. Get some glossy black acrylic paint from a hobby store and use a toothpick or small wire as an applicator. Bosun Al

    2017 West Coaster Toy Soldier Show at the Wyndham Anaheim-Garden Grove

    At the chance of repeating myself, I must admit that the show was a mixed bag. Owing to the short notice before the show and the unusual date, no one expected the show to be a raging success. Fortunately, next year's show will be back in the normal March timeframe. Advertising will be better...

    2017 West Coaster Toy Soldier Show at the Wyndham Anaheim-Garden Grove

    The success or failure of a show often depends what you're looking for. As far as the 2017 WC, it was a mixed bag. Owing to late availability of a site, participation was less tham normal and the usual flyers were delayed . . . I didn't get mine until I was back from the show! As said before...

    1:32 US NAVY SAILORS in COMBAT

    More . . . just saw an article on USN sailors in Siberia ca 1919 in Naval History. They were wearing bules with watch caps . . . which also could've been worn under helmets. Bandoleers around waist appeared to be of black leather. Bosun Al

    1:32 US NAVY SAILORS in COMBAT

    Don't know what period your modelling, but I'd like to make a few suggestions assuming that the figures are to represent a landing party in combat. 1. After 1916 they would've worn helmets. If before 1916, white hats turned down would've been used. If wearing blues, flat hats would be the...

    Restoring CBG-Mignot Cavalry

    I've restored about 30 CBG-Mignot horses and now must find riders for them. Finding riders circa WW1 has been much harder than expected, but I now have enough to at least start making three or four sets of French officer plus nine troopers each. (Should any of you have sources for additional...
