Some really great figures. It's always great to see good conversions having just entered into that realm myself I'm always looking for new ideas. Your pics are great - both inspiring and intimidating. Thanks for sharing.

If they're small it might work - after all, the Japanese did tend to be smaller in stature than their Western opponents. I remember complaints about the relative size of the BMC Japanese when their Iwo Jima sets came out. I just hope they don't muck up the molds with flash and mismatched molds...

I agree; great job of making fine figures look even better.

Totally agree that Ron and Mary Ann are great people; I loved your interview and was glad to hear he plans on still going to the occasional show. I was able to get many of his sets over the years; my wife learned the best way to please me at Christmas was to find out what his new set was and...

This is such good news for the hobby; as I've said elsewhere, it appears rumors of AIP's demise have been greatly exaggerated. They fill a niche in the hobby and it looks like they're back. Great news.

It might have been said before - if so, it bears repeating from an old cannon cocker (or gun bunny, if you prefer): because, "Artillery lends dignity to what otherwise would be a vulgar brawl..."

Superb job! Great imagination in using those figures for your conversions - goes to show there's no limit for thinking out of the box!

I'm thinking mine were cast in resin; as I said, I'm going to have to dig them out to see. I think I bought another set, with fewer poses later in plastic.

Your pics remind me I have some of those somewhere; I'd almost forgotten. Thanks for sharing them. Now I have to drag them out...

At a glance it looks like the pose in question is firing an 1873 Springfield carbine; the barrel was only 22 inches, as are their troopers. There are a couple poses using what looks to be lever action Winchesters (or a similar rifle) that are full length. The TSSD figure's weapon is longer...

Just got back from the Texas Show. I am pleased to report I was able to pick up a couple bags of Paragon's new Sioux Warriors. They are even nicer in person than in the pics. And, to no big surprise they go perfectly with TSSD's Sioux so will be a great addition to your Plains Indian Wars...

I just got a glimpse of some pics of the latest test shots back from the factory after corrections. It looks like the problems noted like the pack and sword are corrected - as well as some other minor issues the cutters had at the factory have been taken care of. The Line Infantry look great...

I had the Germans, Japanese, and GIs/Marines. They were a lot of fun, and beautiful poses, but they never quite replaced the 54mm guys to me. I do remember wishing they'd do the poses in the smaller scales. At the time I didn't know Marx had 54mm Japanese figures; all I had were MPC. When some...

I remember "Battleship" but those ships weren't meant to be realistic depictions. There were some "games" advertised on the back of Comic Books like "Fighting Ships," but I don't know how detailed their ships were as I never bought any of them.

Nice tip on the Plasticote - I'll have to find some. I've been using plastic bonding spray paint like Fusion to prime and prep my plastic. It works pretty well. Kudos on making those figures look so good. I am not usually fond of AIP. Great paint jobs.

Great paint jobs on these guys; kudos on the eyes! Always tough to get right. You nailed them. I passed on these guys, both size and price killed it for me.

As usual, they've done a great job. Makes me wish I'd gotten the Barzso set now...

I think they go well with the figures they're supposed to go with - I want to drag out some of my Barzso ARW guys and see how they compare. I'm in big for these guys. I think they'll go well as any number of armies currently lacking from the era - particularly the fusiliers.

Sorry about that, the pictures didn't post for some reason. Here they are:

The title says it all, I think; except that I was (as the old folks used to say) "tickled" (pleased) to receive a couple test shots of the new 1/32 Grenadiers, thus fulfilling my wish to "get my brush" on them. I think a picture is worth a thousand words. FRONT BACK COMPARISON SHOTS...
