Thank you Ericka for your explanation of the artistry behind the figures. The Britains family of artists (including yourself) have produced a product of the highest aesthetic craftsmanship and historical accuracy for WB collectors around the globe. To that family we doff our tricorns, shakos, caps, kepis and helmets.

Dear Randy,
Thank you for your kind words. As a newcomer to the world of Toy Soldiers I am truly touched and impressed by the gentlemanly and genuine good heartedness that seems to run throughout this hobby. Through the years I have been involved in various hobbies (most in the history arena), but only in the Toy Soldier world have I met so many people that share a common passion, and display such a high level of regard and courtesy to others within that same hobby. Such decency is a rare thing today.
Again, thank you so very much for your kind words,
Ericka Osen

Hi There!
I just took a break from the bench to play catch up on paperwork. It's good to hear from another member of the W.Britain's team here on this forum. Andrew, Alan, Ted, Dave and I were all given marching orders before Richard headed off to the UK and Germany. Look for Alan's first additions to the AWI and Waterloo ranges in the 1st Quarter 2008 catalog...due soon!
As far as the ACW medical set pictured on the "Thank you Richard and Ken" thread...that was one of the great sets of Richard Walkers "Forward March" range a few years ago. As far as any similar set for 1st Gear/W.Britain's ACW goes...well I just can't say for now...be patient good friends!
All the best. Ken Osen
