Andy Neilson in Italy (1 Viewer)

[RISORGIMENTO]

hello guys, last week Andy Neilson met the Italian collectors in Rome and Milan.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend due to health reasons and I can't have accurate reports.
Anyway you can look at the Italian official dealer Saimex FB profile to see the pictures of some stunning planned sets: Vatican City Swiss Guards, Italian Sahariana, German winter paratroopers, the Fury tank and GIs, Merlin the wizard etc.
Enjoy,
Carlo

Some great stuff here.

hi Wayne,
I presume this is one of the Sahariana Armoured Cars used by the German Army in the western front. Born as a desert car it seems that 12 of such vehicles went to Russia. I'm quite sure that we see the desert version in the future.

Love the French building and the WW2 stuff , exciting times to come .
The Sahariana is a very interesting vehicle . I have some pictures of it in Russia, loaded with Italian men serving with the 2nd Fallschirmjäger Div

Yeah, would like to hear about the Italian vehicle and Jerry troops as well. I'm guessing the GI's and possibly the new 57mm AT gun along with the "Fury" Sherman will be in tomorrow's releases.

Beautiful swiss guards...!!! always tempted to buy some when in Rome..but now i'll buy those! Next in line...the Pope?

The Swiss Guards is an interesting idea and Holmes very well done, Watson less so (seems like a Western gambler).

Thank you for the link - great pictures !

Really like the Merlin, Pike & Musket girl with basket & Holmes/Watson.

Some very nice figures.

So finally the train has arrived at the station!!...the message seems to have arrived at KC. HQ. We are going to get some fallschirmjagers. And they look very nice too!!. Having said that i would personally have prefered the more commonly seen winter dress of splinter smock over greatcoat....but i am certainly not complaining and i will add all the figures shown to my collection as soon as they are released!!!.

Perhaps a descendant of those Egyptian maidens :wink2:

The Fallschirmjäger look great. I am really looking forward to them.

 

[waynepoo]

Holmes does looks like Basil Rathbone and Watson looks like...well Watson :wink2:

Watson would have looked better in a bowler. I'm sure I will buy Holmes but am on the fence about Watson.

 

[Ivanhoe]

Watson would have looked better in a bowler. I'm sure I will buy Holmes but am on the fence about Watson.

Agree !

When I saw these for the first time, thought I would buy both and façade...now, not so sure.
