Those are wonderful! Great work.

As previously noted, Airfix figures are much smaller than TSSD's fighters. I have to keep the two totally separate. Really, the only company that doesn't seem consumptive in comparison to TSSD is Conte. In Civil War operations, I always combine the two companies into their own unit.

If anyone has a spare they'd like to sell, please let me know. It doesn't have to be in its original box - just in good condition. Thanks in advance. Basil Duke

According to another forum, TSSD co-prez Nick recently suffered a minor stroke, but is recovering. Thoughts out to him and DeAnna.

Thanks for the pic, Blake; yep, that's what I'm looking for. Jac, I sent you a private message about the figures. If you've got them, I'd like to buy them.

Hello. I'm trying to acquire the Ron Barzso pirate cannon crew - a five-figure resin set (not including the cannon that came with the originals). Barzso himself is out of them, and I can't locate these fellows elsewhere. If anyone has a set he'd like to sell, I'd be most interested. Thanks in...

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate your input. Joe, are you Joe Baker - the guy with the great animated toy soldier web site? If so, well done! I love that site.

I caught something on another thread about an apparently very marked difference in size between Conte's Sons of the South figures and his other Civil War products. I wasn't able to learn anything beyond that, however. IS there, in fact, a difference - and, if 'yes,' are the SoS figures bigger or...

Okay, I feel like an idiot, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to disassemble the Forces of Valor 88 from its two 'wheeled' sections. (I want to get the gun off its carriages so it can lay directly on the ground.) The company's directions are about as clear as tar, and I'm afraid...

I've done enough research to understand that the Hetzer was in fact a rather dinky fighting machine. But I can't help thinking that 21st Century's version - while a great-looking model - is just TOO small. Am I off base on this?

A possible explanation for the Pacific Theatre's (relative) lack of commercial appeal: the Japanese lacked cool armour. The great variety of German tanks, self-propelled guns, half-tracks, etc. really "makes" the hobby for me. As vicious and vile as the Huns were, they produced excellent AFV -...

Greetings, Colonel Pickle. Re: plastic Russian troops: Italeri recently (within the last year, at least) came out with WWII Russian infantry. These were released at or near the same time as the Italeri winter Waffen SS troops. I've been told that they're compatible with TSSD's Ruskies, which...

21st Century seems to be bi-polar when it comes to figure production. The most recent Germans are outstanding, as are the newer paint jobs on the Ruskies. But are there more than six people on this continent who would have answered "pre-war Chinese nationalist infantry" when asked to name THE...

If this has been covered elsewhere, sorry. But I recently did a couple of conversions that turned out quite well. (I don't have photo capabilities, so you'll have to use your imagination.) You'll need two figures from the most recent 21st Century German set - the kneeling rifleman racking...

I'm glad 21st Century and FOV produce 1/32 scale, rather than the giants of K&C and Conte. I'm 42 and grew up on Marx, Airfix, Britain's, etc. When I think "toy soldier," a somewhat stunted GI Joe isn't what comes to mind. I've been conditioned to the 2 1/4" to 2 1/2" specimans that 21st and FOV...

There's a 180-degree difference between the current Russian infantry (the quartet packaged with the Panther) and the two sorry trolls that 21st Century so strangely distributed with its Jagdpanther a couple of years ago. The faces of the Jagdpanther duo looked like they'd been blow-torched and...

Paint job on the Russians is the best to date for a 21st Century figure set. Very, very well done - better even than the paint on the new Germans. Now, if we could just get a new American set of similar quality out of them ...
