Rob,

I think fishead got that mold. Britains' kneeling deetail knock-off. Love the Highlanders.

Vamp do you mean the one from (Miniature Molds) that pose does look o.k.
even for a Britains Detail Knock off.. I have used some of there molds (Spartans) again Britains Knock offs did not think that much of the them.
I find PRINCE AUGUST molds a Better but they are not cheap and very limited in there poses anyway.
Cheers P.S if only i could sculp

Thanks guys: One thing about the factory painted Timpo figures is the paint on this type of molds never flakes off. They look as good has the day I got them. The Vikings and some other sets were made by a secret process where the colors were molded right into the figures. No flaking or paint loss. Leadmen
