Oh dear.....

what happened with the quality control Tom ????

I have to comment about the Aussie on guard
GW025C: An Australian guard in Pith Hat and desert gear with Boxer puppy dog and sign makes a very nice set. Limited to 100 in number and priced at $40.00

A couple of major errors are most evident with this figure :

1. Brass buttons were not used, they had blackened metal badges and buttons
3. Tan trousers were not worn, both coat and trousers were the same fabric, a dark khaki.
5. Facial hair was only tolerated in a combat situation, like Gallipoli, where they were short of water, but moustaches were OK.
7. Aussies wore BROWN BOOTS not Black... maybe he raided the British Q-Store ??

I think that more research is needed with your Australian figures, and there are lot of knowledgeable collectors 'down under, so why not seek help to maintain your standards, which with many other ranges are excellent.

Regards,
John

John mate,
You stole the words right out of my mouth. I concur with all your points and may I add that this is the worst researched figure I have seen from "any" manufacturer in the last five years. There is huge amount of reference material out there on uniforms from the Great War.
Cheers Howard

Dear All

Well today I finally get to go on my holidays but before I go please see below this months offerings from Thomas Gunn.

As I will be away all week, please email all enquiries/orders to helen@tomgunn.co.uk, I will be back in work on the 25th August.

There are no FFL figures this month but have no fear, at least 6 new figures are now in the pipeline including an artillery piece!


Best wishes

Maybe some inspiration from the classic FFL movie March or Die. Foster's detachment is equipped with a Skoda 75mm Model 15 Mountain Gun. It stands for a French 65mm Canon de 65 M (montagne) Mle 1906 gun which was widely used in French colonies in Africa or supposedly 75mm caliber as seen in the French fort in Morocco

Good effort in digging up these artillery photos. Would like a crew to go with it, might consider a few guns. Just need TG to get on board. Robin.

Hello Carlo
The museum is the 'Rifles Museum' in Winchester, it comprises collections and artefacts from the 95th, 60th, Light infantry, Devon and Dorsets plus others, its a really great place to visit.
At the moment they have just asked us to make figures revolving around the 60th Regiment and their involvement in the FIW. If the series takes off we may add other units and Regiments into the collection but as such its a pretty new project and nothing long term has been planned yet.
Sorry if that's a little vague and not much info than you already had but I will release more news once we have it in.
Best wishes Vicki

Hi Robin,

I fully agree and to sweeten the deal...here are some pics from my FFL Album to show that it is duable.....The mountain gun is disassembled and on pack mules along with an extra Hotckiss heavy machinegun.....the project I have under way is providing a garrison to a second mountain gun just like the one in the movie still in the thread...

AC I remember you had these, that's what I am after TG to do. Always like pack trains whether it be horses camels or mules, even elephants. Thanks for showing, inspires one. Robin.

Starting to even out against the Legion now, maybe able to win the smaller skirmishes. Yes they are nice posed figures. Robin.
