Hi Luiz, Father Greg recently announced a "BIG" return but it appears no one has heard from him since? Sadly your assumptions may be correct :( Craig WETS

Love these two Randy :smile2: Craig WETS

Brilliant Randy :smile2: Cheers, Craig WETS

Dear Father Greg, Any chance of putting some "PRICES" on your website and/or posting some pictures on the Treefrog Forum of some of the TAW stuff (painted) you are now producing again??? There are collectors in every corner of the globe waiting with baited breath for some type of response from...

Hello gentlemen, Pretty sure this set was made by a small company called 'Seabea Miniatures' in the UK a few years ago. I don't think these guys are still around? Forum member 'Trooper' would know for sure as I believe he may have been the sculptor! Cheers, Craig WETS

G'day Adam, I paint toy soldiers in production quantities and use Vallejo Acrylics which I find superb. For varnishing (MATT or GLOSS) I use nothing but SPRAY CAN "Testors Dullcote" (for a MATT finish) or "Testors Glosscote" (for that classic toy soldier look). Two nice even coats with an...

Alan, Beautiful model mate, I've emailed Brian for a listing. I assume the vehicle was made by Dave Love and the figures by you? John, Still working to finish that 25 pounder first mate, it's been a long production journey but I'm sure the end result will be worth it :smile2: All, Got an...

Will do mate, the TAW stuff is far too nice to lay dormant forever! Cheers, Craig WETS

Magic Randy! Regards, Craig WETS

Good luck getting Father Greg to respond mate! The bloke has possession of so many beautiful moulds and masters but sadly it looks like no-one will ever be getting anything! PM me if you like and I'll fill you in. Cheers, Craig WETS AUS

Re: Fleurbaix toy soldiers still open? Good luck getting Father Greg to respond mate! Cheers, Craig WETS

G'day Howard. Thank you very much for the invite to the dinner with Andy last night in Melbourne mate, it was without a doubt the highlight of my toy soldier career to date! The man himself is not only a successful businessman but an inspiration and a true gentleman. Cheers mate. Craig &...

Yes mate, quite simply it's called 'replication en masse'. A very talented master figure painter paints the production sample which is then replicated (copied) by a small army of hired help. Some companies, particularly the BIG ones, utilise a production line method of painting where each...
