Just a clarification; Demophillus was the leader of the 700 Thespians, who volunteered to stay and fight with the Spartans. I believe that the new figures are Thespians and not Thebans. By the way I received some new T. Gunn today. I really love the smoothness of the paint finish.
Can we calm down and enjoy our toy soldiers?
Pirating means to get a particular figure and use it to make molds and sell a figure which is almost the same with the original. I have seen a few days ago on eBay pirated El Viejo Dragon and Pegasso figures. That's piracy. The particular Britain's...
There was a similar "debate" on September relating with some Tom Gunn toy soldiers. It seems that sometimes the people who design the figures find inspiration or they just like and want to reproduce in their ranges figures form various model figures makers. As I said I do not find this being...
Congratulations for the new set! I still remember the photos at Stuart Asquith's column at Military Modelling magazine many years ago when this was issued by Trophy. It is really amazing what Trophy did back then. All the best!
Very nice figures! Congratulations! The garment of the pirate is great as it is the fighting duo (man and beast). The guy is a Venator, as the men who fought with the animals were could (plural: venatores). All the best!

In contrary I believe that the Byzantine period is very interesting and gives many options for great figures. Well done to T. Gunn. I would like a display of a Byzantine Emperor with his bodyguards.
Dear All
I believe that this debate is pointless and unfair for T.Gunn who made hundreds of figures up to now and we have stuck on a marching Roman. Maybe Aeroart imitated Andrea Miniatures figure from the 80's still in production.
As we all noticed sometimes manufactures made similar poses or...

Your new Asset figures are great. I like Asset and I have a lot of its figures. Asset also made for me and a friend as a special comission Greek Navy Bands. Its Sudan campaign range gives opportunities and basically it is excellent to make a column on the move with different marching...
Dear Luiz
The poor Mahdists have no chance against your heavy weapons and the batteries (impressive I have to say)
You are right about Ken and 1st Sudan war. But now he moved into Boxer Rebellion which gives opportunity for a variety of troops and uniforms and endless Chinese. For the time...
Dear A/C
What I really enjoy in this hobby is the similarities of collections, tastes habits etc of the collectors around the world. I am posting some pictures of my collection to see what I mean. The last picture is taken at one of the London Shows a few years ago. There are all the marching...
