Hi Konrad, Firstly can I just thank you for posting these images on my behalf. Now to answer your question re: the figure that appears in the background of the first image. It is a conversion of a figure produced by Alexander's Toy Soldiers. It started life as a mounted Paul Revere figure from...

Hi Jeff, The castings are from the Fusilier range of figures now owned by Tommy Atkins. I have another couple of these figures waiting to be sent to Mr Firth to work his magic on. I am also planning with John's input a possible steeplechasing dio for the New Year which will hopefully depict a...

Hi Johnny, I have been following this thread with interest and I have been very impressed with your painting skills. You mention the colour of the bases and I agree that the gold looks better and more suited given the amount of brown on the horses and uniforms of the musicians. that said I...

Hi Shannon, very interesting news indeed and as someone who regularly reviews FL figure releases for one of the Hobby's magazines here in the UK I can testify as to what quality matte figures they are which are getting better with each individual new release. However, could not help but notice...

Hi Dave, Yes issue 40 of TSC has been published. I got my subscription copy nearly a week ago now. I must admit though I have not seen it in the newsagents as yet, but it should definitely be available by now. Regards Martin

:salute:::salute:: hi Gazza, Sorry I did not intend my post to cause offence to anybody and I was very grateful to you and the others that took the time to take and upload photos of the day. My post was merely in support of Trooper's suggestion that a section might possibly be created for the...

I am with Trooper on this one, while it is always great to see what the big boys are producing, the smaller makers - Lt. Legion, ATS, Asset not to mention the welcome return of Yeomanry Miniatures seem to miss out. I have seen very little photos of ATS since the show on Saturday and to my...

Hi Mike, Thanks for posting some wonderful photos of the figures that were on show. Nice to see some of he smaller UK makers, such as Lt. Legion and Alexanders Toy Soldiers featured as well as the bigger players such as K&C and Figarti. As an avid collector of Alexander's Toys Soldiers I don't...

hi Konrad, Hope that you are well. As it is now just over a month since your last pacakage/addition to your British Empire collection commissioned from Beating Retreat was showcased I just wondering if you are expecting any new figures in the near future from John. I have lost track of this...

hi John, Glad that you have arrived safely. I was up in Nrth Yorks a couple of weeks ago. Whereabouts are you going? I stayed a few miles from Seamer, but unfortunately did not have time to visit ken jackson at maison militaire. If you manage to fit in a visit I wonder if you might get some...

all joking aside John, You might well get here, but if the volcanic ash situation gets worse and the experts are saying that it could well continue to erupt for anything up to a year as it did in 1831, then you might find that the rest of your planned trip in Europe might be under serious...

Hi Guys, I know this might be along shot, but could the lady in question be from Imperial of New Zealand? I seem to recall similar figures being on sale through ebay recently that have the same look to them and they were definitely Imperial. I have seen and written about the Victorian civilians...

For those members with an interest in the Crimea who might like to know that ATS have also added new figures to their Crimean range recently that depicts the Light Brigade reaching the Russian Guns. A number of figures have been produced in addition to a Russian Gun that display equally as well...

Hi Konrad, Meant to comment before now on this recent excellent addition to your Brtish Empire Collection, but have been busy with the day job since Easter. Yet another triumph from the paint brush of Mr Firth. His attention to detail is remarkable even down to ensuring the horse's hooves with...

Hi Shannon, I take it from Polarbear's comments on this set and images that this is a soon to be released set from Four Feathers. It does not however feature on the Four Feather pages on the Treefrog list of manufacturers yet so I was wondering if you know when this set will be released and if...

Hi Konrad, I echo what others have said about your latest addition to this collection. Do you know when the next instalment is due and might there be more mounted figures soon that given that excellent paint finish by John!? Regards Martin

They look very impressive. Especially like the Indian village photo with the tepees. Hard to tell for definite from the photos but I presume that these figures are painted plastic. Some very nicley posed sets as well such as the battery ram piece. Would also be good to know if Dave Holland...

Perhaps Matt's reply to your question is a pointer to the direction that any new range might be going in!!!?

Hi Konrad, As we approach the end of January any parcels, sorry news as to what is next in this excellent series. Also really liked your cabinet in which you are displaying this latest collection of figures. Hard to tell from the photo , but is it set into the wall with a glass door or is it...
