I am not collecting medieval TS (only Naps as you may know :wink2:) but if you are into that era, maybe the back page of the last issue of Figurines Magazine I bought in Madrid in November could be of interest:

When in Madrid in November, I was on the look for TS stores to get some Andrea Miniatures kits (since Andrea HQ is in Madrid). While there are a few of them in Madrid, I picked La Flecha Negra since they are a FL and K&C reseller. The store is in a little side street East of Madrid downtown...

Great and moving movie which depicts the Armenian genocide (1.5M people died) that was orchestrated by the Ottoman Empire in 1915. Great cast and acting!

Watched this movie with my wife yesterday and we really liked it (the Spanish movie industry like the French one is resurrecting!) Great love story through the tumultuous end of Spanish colonialism time in Fernando Po island, Guinea. The acting like the location is superb.

Wife and I just watched this movie. Great (real) story. Great acting! Takes place in Warsaw during WWII. No need to describe what happened during that time in this city. This is what this movie is about from a unique point of view...

Hi, while I have been doing some paint touch up for a while on my collection, I never painted an entire figurine end to end from scratch. Well with 2017 just starting this was part of my resolution list (not my bucket list yet :wink2:) and I can now scratch that one from that list! I just...

Would anyone have any spare parts or kits for Nap Poste Militaire figurines that they would like to part with and sell. Please PM me if you are interested to do so. Thanks in advance!

Since I started to run out of space (more than 500 TS in my collection now), I was split between buying another curio cabinet (I have one standing curio cabinet and one wall curio cabinet) or adding a new glass shelf in my current one since I still have some room to add 1 or 2 shelves. I decided...
