Thanks.

Max mentions that he has Chota Sahib and Yeomanry moulds and I was curious if he had ever sold any of those castings, which he seems not to have done.

He might want to acknowledge the source of his images too.

Thanks for sharing the address of his Quora blog, Hazebrouck! I never heard of this guy before he showed up here. Looking at the posts at the top of his page, the Sarum figures, I remembered how he complained that Tradition ripped him off. I am skeptical of that, though; Tradition does sell Sarum kits, but I find it very unlikely that they don't own the ones they sell or have a license of some kind to do so.

I also find it interesting that he uses "Esquire" in his name/title. You don't find many Frenchmen using that. Of course, he could be a Bugs Bunny fan, too.

I wonder, too, if he has ever sold anything. From his stories, though, he sounds almost like the Zelig or Forrest Gump of the toy soldier hobby. He's been everywhere.

Prost!

He has accussed the owners of almost every TS company of cheating him, usually not long after he was praising them. It's easy enough to buy TS molds, but does that give you sole rights to their entire range, and of course a lot of collectors have copied or modified figures over the years, and still do. I've even encountered several reproductions of early King & Country sets, you really have to check out any Glossy set you intend to buy.
