    Credit where credit is due-The 49ers line of figures

    I wanted to be sure to post my appreciation of well done items. I bought this figure of the miner with his gear as I thought it was VERY well done. They all seem to be. particularly the plaid shirt, the color and texture of the pan, wood, metal bits the blanket rope etc. I don't think I can...

    W Britains Musem collection-Admiral Nimitz

    I wanted to make sure I noted a small but enjoyable thing I found with a figure I recently purchased. Most of these figures that depict famous or celebrated images of people in history looks SOMEWHAT like the person they depict. In my opinion the W.Britains museum figure of Admiral Chester...

    Received Battle of the bulge Panther, very nice

    I received my Battle of the bulge Panther. I have been avoiding the bait of so MANY German tanks from all the makers. but this one was the paint scheme, and stage in the war I'm most interested in. The model is excellent, and all the small bits attach very well. The only crew I has fit ok, but...

    Attica Sends another winner from 1876

    I have received another figure from Attica. When I can, as a reward for hard work or some big accomplishment I commission an Attica figure. This time I received the mounted Colonel George Armstrong Custer in 1876. The usual Attica attention to detail and artistic finesse. I'm so very happy...

    JJD Ace-46 Sopwith is here. Another beautiful add to the collection!

    I received my No 10 Naval Squadron Sopwith Camel today. I am as always, impressed with the fine craftsmanship JJD artisans apply to these models! And the subject matter is also thoughtfully done. Next, I'm hoping for a new SE.5a, and a French Neuport 17, or 28. and perhaps a US Newport 28? But...

    New Attica acquisition

    I've always liked the Andrea figure of Teddy Roosevelt. So Attica artists were willing to do one for me. Very nice. I had them shape the hat a little better. the original figure has it all wrong. Colonel Roosevelt had hats, that were not turned up in front, but at the sides. this is closer...
