    News Update September 30th, 2024 - Seven Years War

    It is very interesting seeing the French firing line which was 3 deep. I like the command set of 4 figures, may even splash out with them for my 7YW collection??? John

    Fate of Alexanders Toy Soldiers?

    Ok, think I know what it is, it's because the site isn't private and so new security patches won't let you go there. My old Tables says that but I may have over overturned that for this site on this PC and maybe the phone hasn't got that security. Anyway, I can report that ATS's website is...

    Brad, again I have clicked on the link you provided in this post and it goes direct to the ATS website. I'm using EDGE on a Win 11 PC. I have also clicked your post on my SAMSUNG Phone and again it gets through but takes about 20 seconds to display. Maybe it is something with your provider...

    Glad to help you out. Yes there are many brands that flourished about 20 years ago when I started painting again, I had done that as a kid and wanted a hobby again.

    Pickelhaube Miniatures, Australia

    Yes, this was a Australian company based in Queensland and setup by Matt Vogel ? who was of German descent. He was in business about 20 years ago, but it only lasted about 7 years I think. He made a nice range of German troops from pre-WW1 era and then some from the German troops of the US War...
