Thanks for sharing these images WO. I hauled the tank movies down for a feast yesterday, passing some otherwise tiresome convalescent hours. Kelly's Heroes is just great for releasing those healthy endorphins - one forgets the wry humour that frames the story end-to-end; true entertainment from...

Go Richard! A brave release and a great compromise building on del Prado. Not my period but they look really good at the price. Do you have any plans for Napoleonic releases? Look forward to your success in this niche.

Couldn't have said it better- nice pick up Tom

Yes, the hobby is expanding in so many different directions and so rapidly that it is difficult to keep up. Younger entrepreneurs are adding some really powerful and imaginative changes. The use of new and varied backdrops has changed the depth of diorama production and techniques for concealing...

A wonderfully concise summation. There may well be some elastic maths in the Recommended Retail Price, but cost price is linked inextricably to quality of the production. It would be ludicrous to insist, as has often happened, that all manufacturers produce Aeroart quality and detail at del...

Quite right - one cannot compare apples and oranges, and if you cannot access both, the gulf of contrast will be impossible to imagine. In this thread, there is consensus about this point, so frequently overlooked in so many threads. The likes of the St Petersburg Collection are produced for a...

Some great discussion here about the difference between the appreciation of art and what is mere consumerism in the mass market. A lot of logic and fact is contained in this thread, and it goes to the most sensitive of nerves; the hip pocket nerve:). It is notable that the initial provocation...

The first TS that I acquired were Kellogg's cowboys and Indians - and when they stopped the series, people still ate Corn Flakes. I do not lament having had the experience but I also do not yearn for a return of the good old days :)

Fear not. One swallow doesn't make a summer. There were toy soldiers found in the tombs of the pharoahs and no evidence to suggest that their appeal has disappeared. There is of course sadness with the demise of a person or of a respected company but the hobby is rapidly developing in hydra-like...

Guy's wonderful K&C thread got moved for the reason that there were other manufacturers being featured and that is one point raised by Sammy. Second, Matt has already given an answer based on sound business practice - and he is not Santa Claus. If you want to learn more about Matt's business...

I think that someone spent a lot of time and effort making this and that it makes an impressive piece. How many history buffs will see it as opposed to an audience that will like it for what it is rather than what it represents? Sink it into some foam and build a water base - this will lower the...

Another serious contender from Brisbane diorama makers - well done RUSIQ. Go team!

Not a patient patient Mark :) but getting there. Black and white is how I like my reason these days but if it moves it's got to be in colour :)

Great movie, and someone should make that ambulance :).

And Waterloo surely but the list has a decidedly World War definition so the Crusades and Gettysburg and even Robin Hood and the Sheriff don't get a mention or Hornblower or Sharpe... :)

Good colour indeed John. Thanks all for posting. It's great Sunday viewing. Bravo Guy.

Camels and nurses; what's not to like :) and the wicker table and chairs would make a useful accessory with the cluster of nurses and photographer - a really nice diorama set with good colours and plenty of options.

Way cool; something novel in thread number 253 of scales. Weights! The original scales of weights and measures to combat the sneaky adulteration of precious metal. Not sure how you got to that range of weights but how compatible are the vehicle weights? Perhaps for objectivity, you could try a...

I take a size 60 hat so enough of big head jokes already :). And the hospital team left me in stitches...so laughter is out :)

Having just comefrom the operating theatre, where I sweated on accuracy and statistics coming out in my favour, I noted that the surgical team ranged in height from around 5 feet to 6 foot three - let's say 1500 to 1900 for simplicity's sake. They would need to be represented by 50 to 63mm...
