Hi Carlos,great pic's!
The figurers are by Dave Holland he specialises in converting Elastolin/Prizer figures and does a wonderfull job.He mostly works with the plastic figures,but sometimes uses the composition stuff.

Yes Sir, that is a John Gittens set from the N series I don't know the number.
N stands for Native I believe. There was a whole Series of Zulu warriors dancing with the ladies,cooking fetching water and other meal items, and of course King Cetswheo and his retainers.
Also the huts , kral fencing...
P.B. I highly recomend "Battle Cry fo Freedom" By McPherson.
It is a clasic read. Anyone interested in the American Civil War and that era of American History, will find it well worth the investment in funds and time.

I for one am an eclectic collector.
I have a great deal of Napoleonic stuff. Less the Russians.
A lot of American Rev.
Almost all of the WWII vehicles.
Some western and CivilWar.
And..I'm going for the RAF and USAF stuff.
I great Icon of the collecting world,Ed Ruby once told me...
" I'm not a...
Yep!!
Had my hands on experience.
The bridge is well constructed and sturdy.It is also well packed.
The paint job is very good but basic so if you want weathering,or battle fatigue, ya gotta do it yourself.
You have to be very careful unpacking. The rope hand grabs along the walkway are...
I hope you will be bring the lovely Nancy? Looking forward to seeing you.

The 2010 WestCoaster is getting close, and most of the regulars are back on board. Some new vendors are also signing on.
We are up to 150 tables and counting. It looks like maybe another sold out show. Despite the economic blues!
If you are going to the hotel be sure to get your room reserved...
Louis I understand that you can contact K&C and have them made to order. For a fee that is. Do yur own customized one. Maybe with all the stock you've ordered in the past ya might get a slight (remember yur dealin' with a "canny Scot!") discount?
Have fun O.C.
I just wanted to post an open letter to the Figarti team about the new Sherman tankdozer.
It is GRRRREAT! To quote Tony the Tiger.
I've sooo looking forward to someone making a tankdozer that I was about ready to convert an existing Sherman.
The ETA 004 limited edtion is well built exellently...
I kind of have a rough rule of thumb, I will pay up to about twice the initial retail price for a general release item. Not counting shipping.
On a limited edition item more depending on my personal desire level.
( that personal desire level catagory gets me alot.)
I have payed up to almost four...
Excellent Cornwallis. I see you back there mounted up and in charge.
Kind of reminds me of the first line at the battle of Guilford Court House.
Keep up the good work.

Me gillies and hose=(scots for shoes and socks.)
or my favorite..
"I'm a man of few words, lend me yur hand!!":eek:

Aye the Scottsmans pouch is indeed called a sporran.
It is always a deelite among collectors to find HISTORICAL ACCURACY even beneath the "Garb o' Old Gaul".

Rick what if we await out side in a prone position of suplication, and chant the ILUVFIGARTIILUVFIGARTI mantra ten thousnd times along with a creditcard offering. Then may we view through the door the SACREDofSACREDS!!??:(
