Tonight I have emailed Nik, and got a favourable response about his website and his trading: "I am very grateful for your time you made to send me this e mail . many thanks . i am indeed still trading and i received e mails from customers in the USA of this problem . i am in the process of...

It is because Nick hasn't got an SSL Certificate "An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, a security protocol that creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web...

Ok, think I know what it is, it's because the site isn't private and so new security patches won't let you go there. My old Tables says that but I may have over overturned that for this site on this PC and maybe the phone hasn't got that security. Anyway, I can report that ATS's website is...

Brad, again I have clicked on the link you provided in this post and it goes direct to the ATS website. I'm using EDGE on a Win 11 PC. I have also clicked your post on my SAMSUNG Phone and again it gets through but takes about 20 seconds to display. Maybe it is something with your provider...

I did have any problem getting onto Nik's website this morning, maybe it is has now been fixed ???? John

Brilliant setup you have there, weel done, John

Exactly my thoughts, that is why I got hold of that group of figures, they make a great 'firing line' and there is also JJD Royal Artillery to provide fire support !!! John

Thanks for your kind words, Louis, I really appreciate that :) JOhn

I also bought a set of Kaiser Alexander Guard Grenadiers, Prussian Army 1914 by Tradition of London just before they were retired. and recently completed painting this band, 1st Garde Regiment Zu Fuss Band c.1900 also by Tradition of London. and another couple of fife and drum bands by...

Glad to help you out. Yes there are many brands that flourished about 20 years ago when I started painting again, I had done that as a kid and wanted a hobby again. All I can suggest is keep looking, there are some collections coming up for sale seeing the aging of the current collectors, and...

I have found another older catalogue, from 2002, but showing less figures. Here are some more pics of Pickelhaube Miniatures that I painted .... John

Yes, this was a Australian company based in Queensland and setup by Matt Vogel ? who was of German descent. He was in business about 20 years ago, but it only lasted about 7 years I think. He made a nice range of German troops from pre-WW1 era and then some from the German troops of the US War...

Can't see the horse Wayne, maybe there is too much cam ?????? Well done, John

Tom, thanks for your kind words about the restoration I have achieved. It was quite a challenge, but I really enjoyed this project, so colourful it was a huge change from my usual soldiers. I wanted to make something that will be cherished and bring joy to the collector. Should be with you in a...

More closeups and soon they be heading off to start their new life in a market place in the New World :) Hope you like my restoration and remember that someone's junk could be another's gem under all that bad paint John

After about 3 months of work, not full time, just a day or so every couple of weeks, the group was finished and posed on a diorama base I made last year.

Last year I was approached by fellow member and asked if I could do a job for him to restore a set of figures he'd recently acquired. He said they looked like a 'load of junk' but underneath there could be some gems, going on the paintwork. They arrived in May and my first task was to sort out...

Brad, thats exactly what I do to mount horses. I use tinplate and then cut it to the required size. The base can also be textured if requires by applying glue then a dusting of sane before painting. This is an example I used on my Hinchliffe gun team and this one Boer War MG team hope...

Send me a PM and let me know what is the problem, pictures help, and then I may be able to give advice, John
