Australian films are usually accurate. My particular favourites, The Overlanders, The Lighthorsemen, Breaker Morant and the tv series Anzacs. Trooper

Also "Glory" and "Gettysburg", Trooper

Also do not forget the items made by Dave for other makers. For ATS several Napoleonic cannon, an RHA rocket troop platform and wagon, a landau, Napoleon's carriage, Russian cannon from the Crimean War, a London omnibus (civilian version of the Old Bill), and a horse drawn fire engine. For...

Business is business, Luis, Dave found he could do better with the model ship side of things rather than the artillery. Earlier I listed a whole mass of items made by him for Model Armoury many of which you with your unique collection should find of interest, surely you should receive this with...

Dave is only too happy to make master patterns for anyone. So if there is someone out there who wants to start up an artillery or vehicle range let him know, he will be pleased to oblige. Trooper

At present Dave, in addition to his on going commitment to the model ship business, is producing the artillery and vehicles for the Model Armoury. In terms of artillery he has made the 4.7 with two alternative sets of wheels, the 9.2 howitzer, the MkIV 18pdr and limber ( the only model of this...

ATS also produces these figures. Trooper

Ken is right, the only true measurement is the weapon. My own practise is to make dolly figures in the various sizes required, then cast them up and hand build them into the position and uniform needed. This ensures uniformity of size and makes it easy to denote compatibility. If I make true...

Yes. The equipment is sculpted by Dave Love. Trooper

The British or American companies contracting out to China are not likely to increase the quantity of heir orders, why take a gamble with the risk of having loads of uncommitted stock on the shelves? The Chinese studios will not only be looking for work but also trying to make as much as they...

It is fairly obvious that the only TS companies that will be affected are those whose total production is undertaken in China. The Chinese studios who do the work will most likely increase their prices, which leaves the companies with three basic options. (A) Increase their prices (B) reduce...

Sorry about that, computer decided to print black and white instead of colour. Trooper

Ask and ye shall be given, Johnny. Trooper

Modern medical science has shown that "shell shock" is a condition where the nervous system is thrown into disarray when exposed to a near explosion and is not an example of lead swinging or cowardice as believed during WW1. However this has now been grabbed by the PC brigade who believe that...

Johnny, attached pics might help. The Stadden drawing is from a Drahonnet painting in "Miitary paintings in the Royal collection" which also has similar pic of the 2nd Life Guards. Trooper

Hi Malcolm, Just to assure you that my rant was not aimed personally at you or your excellent range of figures. Over the past 50 odd years I have had endless arguments with a wide variety of makers, collectors and general semi interested parties on this subject and had thought it had at last...

I was dismayed on looking at a new makers website to see that his very nice range was described as being 54mm 1/32nd scale measured from the feet to the eyeline. When, oh when, is this hoary old belief going to be consigned to the rubbish bin where it belongs? I have never had a medical where my...
