This is a pedant’s post but the East Kent regiment’s earlier pattern frock did indeed have a single loop on the cuff and the entire collar was in the facing colour. The undress frock in 1879 had the trefoil detail on the cuff and according to Ian Knight the facing colour didn’t cover the entire...

I thought John may have gone even more left field with the attack on the Ntombe. The surprise of that attack could have led to more intriguing sculpts and characters.

From a personal perspective I have pretty much left the hobby but still enjoy looking at the products. I only really like the Jenkins figures now but didn’t particularly enjoy dealing with the UK supplier and not being able to just click and buy and therefore just stopped and sold literally...

They look like attempts at the TV characters. Shame.

Has anyone attempted a Texas Ranger/Comanche/Mexican range? Just reading the wonderful Lonesome Dove books and couldn’t see that a specific range had ever been produced. I must admit that if someone were to produce it then the prolific JJ would personally be my first choice. Who wouldn’t want a...

Its a shame I’ve stopped collecting John’s ranges but this is due to the UK retailer not allowing online purchases (you have to call and give payment details over the phone!) as well as not having a secure website. However, I do collect 28mm too and just look at the detail on the shield...

I was on the FB group but then got deleted from it for asking a simple question about whether anyone else was having problems with the UK supplier. You’re heavy handiness has basically been a contributing factor for me now only buying John’s products on the secondary market.

Vikings don’t appeal to me personally but even I must concede that figure VIK-06 is one of the best figures ever seen and even more so when factoring in the price.

DAK. Opel Blitz, BMW R75 and Sd.Kfz 7 with riders.

If you recall, at the outset of this ancient range it was being promoted or intended as a joint venture between JJD and K&C with John producing the enemies of Rome and K&C wanting to produce the Romans themselves. Personally, I am very glad that, for whatever reason, this venture fell by the...

There is going to be much finger pointing when this virus is brought under some semblance of control. A lot of that pointing will be aimed directly at China and there will be an ever increasing clamour, not from governments I suspect but more media fuelled, to boycott products made in China or...

.....anyone know? I liked dealing with them both. I miss them.

There is a difference between having studied and having viewed the tapestry and I would respectfully suggest that you view it some more, particularly the shape of shield most prevalent in Harold's army and the aforesaid hues. 250 is indeed an impressive boast. Collectors would, I am sure, love...

Does anyone find it infuriating when you can't buy items from a dealer online in this day and age? I've recently encountered two dealers that have an online presence whereby you can view the items for sale but in order to make a purchase you have to either telephone or email and trust them not...

I've collected the Saxon figures and they are good despite the somewhat basic shield decals (I do think the shields would have been better hand painted and with a greater variety in hues/designs). I have a real problem with the mounted figures. The heads on the horses for example aren't that...

Keep 'em coming John.

Yes, these are far too late for Arthur which is why I think there could be a 5th/6th/7th century series further down the production line once the Harold series is complete. I've always wanted to see a Raedwald figure and series from someone who can do it justice.

Wonderful figures. The "Age of Arthur" title is quite intriguing. Some 5th-8th century Jutes/Angles/Saxons etc. would be fantastic. I'm wondering if John is going to incorporate the Sutton Hoo helmet in a later series.

This was not a reference to you Old Bill but he did manifest shortly after.

I'm in for these. Just waiting for the Wiki Historian on here to find something wrong with them but I can assure him that there really isn't.
