The Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand by Metal Shed (1 Viewer)

[jazzeum]

I purchased my first Metal Shed piece at the East Coast Toy Soldier Show, the Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. It's a fantastic set consisting of the Gräf & Stift luxury limousine with the Archduke Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie and the assassin Gavralo Princip.

Not a very accurate colour scheme on the car ..... definitely NOT WHITE TYRES ...

Michael, it's Joe Remson. Do you have his contact info. If not, I can send it to you.

Obee, agreed. The Metal Shed pieces are more like works of art than completely accurate pieces.

What a fantastic set this is. As you say, real artwork. Congratulations on obtaining it. :salute:: -- Al

Thanks Al. I've wanted to buy one of their WW I sets for awhile and when I saw this I decided I had to have it. There aren't that many companies that have made an Assassination set (other than Yeomanry and Hocker) so I figured it's now or never. I asked Andy about making one a couple of years ago and he said to make it right would be too expensive.

The chassis was painted in Black-brown NOT green.

You weren't plugging it with a bit of milliput, prior to giving it a touch-up with a mini-pot of Humbrol - were you John? jb
