Anyone Remember William King? (1 Viewer)

[arnhem44mad]

They used to advertise in the mid-section of TS&MF magazine?

They put up info about having kneeling figures and cannons after having pics of their 28th North Gloucesters and other sets in the magazine, then one day just disappeared?
Anyone know what happened?

I have a couple of his sets, 28th Inniskilling and a set of 28th North's and they are really good, pure lead stile!Albeit smaller than your average set of trophy napoleonics?

Anyone know who the owner was and why he quit business?

Also remember that his website only ever worked on a Friday evening!?

Martin Tabony sculpted for William King, and he's a forum member, maybe he'll see this thread and join in. I don't remember more details off the top of my head, but I think there's an article in an old issue of Toy Soldier & Model Figure about that maker.

Prost!

Glad to help!

I thought that this question had come up in the past, so I did a search and found an older thread, where we discussed this, and Martin joined in:

If I understand correctly, I may have to correct what I wrote in the earlier post, he didn't sculpt for William King, Martin is William King. Though, maybe I'm wrong.

I have the Old Guard grenadier in greatcoat figure that TS&MF gave out one year as the premium for renewing subscriptions. Some of the Irish Toy Soldier Museum figures I have may be from Martin, too, but I'm not sure.

Prost!

You're right the figures are mine but the magazine wanted them sold under their name! I was O.K. about that as long as they stated clearly that the copyright was mine, if you look under the bases they say "copyright Martin Tabony" . I won't go into details about way we parted ways but I still have the figures.

I, too, would like to purchase some Cameronian riflemen.

I've been working on other things for the last few years but all of the moulds for my true 1/32nd scale figures are sound, so yes they are available but I don't sell castings.
There are a fair few that didn't get on the market for one reason or another, Highland light infantry, mounted 21st Lancer band etc. I should try and get some painted up and post some pictures.
