How about a British/Commonwealth version of a half track for a change, such as those that got ambushed by Wittman at Villiers Bocage. Or XXX corp for Arnhem? Just a thought, you have a good evening all

That's great. I actually love these figures. but was curious why the flag poles had changed since the Italian standard bearer images had been released. I have the Prussians on pre order and now I will be ordering the French infantry as the finances allow starting with the Zouaves. Regards to...

So. Again no finials /or eagle on the standards? All the previous posted artworks shows Prussian and French colours adorned. The Italian standard has a finial and the French Imperial Guard in the Napoleonic range has an eagle so they obviously have the ability to cast these items. Any...

Great figures! I am also really excited for the Franco Prussian War range. Just a quick question in regard to the standard-bearer of German 3 Seebataillor. Is the flagpole intentionally free of adornment on the top? No ribbons or finial. Regards Glynn

Adam & James had or have an import business based in Norwich Norfolk importing decorative tins such as biscuit tins etc with designs by Emma Bridgewater and other well known names.. They were great guys and as I live just outside the city they let me collect some of my orders direct. They ran...

John very kindly selected me as one of the winners. After a spell waiting at the uk customs my prize arrived in the week. The beautiful USS Wasp F4F-3 Wildcat. It is striking in the photos on-line but in the flesh its truly a work of art. Congratulations to all th other winners. Regards Glynn

Yes in agreement with the sentiment expressed abovemay I wish John, Yvette and all associated with JJD a happy and peaceful holidayseason. In truth though, I do not believe John every truly stops.Even if he has found a beach to lie on and a good book to jump into, he’llstill be sculpting and...

So is this the first time that the figures in the interwar and WWII versions differ not only in base colour but in design? I assume the visor design was changed to improve the vision of the crewman.

I'm not sure on which of the event threads someone asked about a swordfish, could have been a menu enquiry! I am sure though that I posted this sketch on a thread many years ago. The original hangs on a wall in Fleet Air Arm museum at RNAS Yovilton. If memory serves it is a sketch of a...

Please can you ask John if he has any plans to produce Gaulish and Celtic domestic figures. In the same way he produce figures to portray the every day life in the raid on saint franchise range. Hunter chasing down a boar, a bard, a Druid etc. Has he any plans to produce aircraft from the eary...

Hi all Yes I wish to echo the thoughts of all the lucky winners. John yet again has been incredibly generous. I will Post some photos when I have done justice to the wonderful gifts by displaying them. My lucky dilemma is having to decide which figures in my collection need to take a break...

Fantastic display. John is a true artist. So wish I wasn't on the other side of the world. Please give us lots of photos and quotes from John. Please also pass on our regards to John

Roy I agree with you completely some of the finest models of this period produced. I wish John would re release the early Panzers for the invasion of Norway Denmark and the Low Countries ( and DAK). Then if only John had a moment to produce some French Alpine troops, British infantry and...

I asked him once if he would consider doing this, (I have a strong interest in the Blitzkrieg era) but he didn't seem too keen unfortunately. My guess is he will at some point delve more deeply into WW2 but obviously it will be from his own unique angle. (The Norwegian/Narvik campaign would...

Morning Gentlemen John is possibly the most generous man I have had the privilege to Know. We all seem to have received exceptional gifts. I sometimes think John must live the life of the 19th century Parisian artist. Living a possessed life driven by his art, eating and sleeping only when he...

Good evening gentlemen Love the three new p-26 aircraft but can't wait for a British interwar years aircraft. Technically the Swordfish and Lysander could be classed as interwar aircraft and some of the thirties colour schemes would make great displays. Even better the Captured Swordfish that...

May I recommend to the house Centenary By Show of Hands featuring the great Jim Carter and his wife Imelda Staunton. Also on this album two tracks just by show of hands The Gamekeeper (compares the life of a gamekeeper on the red soil of Devon to the red blood stained soil of 1st July 1916)...

John very kindly sent me the Macchi 72. My family thought it would be a great wheeze to wrap it up and pretend it was a Christmas present from them. Cheeky little devils!! Even so great model. Now photo can do it justice!

Almost fifty years apart but the uniform is basically the same. Just need to take a very very fine brush and change the cap to read HMS Black Cat and add the trade patches and it could be uncle Bill!

Congratulations What a wonderful gift. John is an exceptionally generous man as I can say from experiance as he has been kind enough to rank my caption contest entries in the top ten twice. I to hope that this can be purchased as several sets that can be built up over time and as the...
