    Suggestion for improvement : straight weapons

    I've seen this problem many times, seems to happen 'in transit' so you have to very carefully bend them back straight. The big hassle is that with some hard metal, it is brittle and will break! Also sometimes the paint flakes and has to be retouched. I had a quite few swords on JJD figures...

    The Bridge

    Great work Damian, I saw this late last year when I visited Howard and was impressed with it at that stage. Good to see that he has now been able to show off all the figures in a realistic display, instead of boxes on the floor !!!! Well Done, John

    I have a Ramón Labayen soldier, still new in it's bag, and I'm hoping for identification

    If I could see what the hat/head looks like I maybe could ID this guy. Any chance of a close up shot? I can see in the instructions that there is an 'N' on the bugler's lace, so it must be Napoleonic. John
