I emailed Conte about a year ago when he was rolling out the Northwest frontier British about the lack of plastic in his new releases. It was more or less a one word email, something like this: "Plastic????"....to which his reply came a few weeks later: "Send lots of $$". We all know about the tremendous expense of getting plastic figures produced overseas...the sad part is that I would gladly send him $$ if there was product to be purchased, but I guess the profits to made on plastic figures dried up due to the shrinking economy. I too think the Conte figures are fantastic, with TSSD just a wisp below. But that new Barzso set does look outstanding! Barzso figures have improved with each successive release and are always getting better! There is alot to be thankful for as a collector right now - all of the great FOV 1/32 scale armor releases, CTS WW2 figure releases, Barzso's upcoming Lexington Green, TSSD's steady stream of new figures and playsets! I'll have a tough time deciding what I would like for Christmas!!

My favourite is Herald (Pre Britains take over) the quality of the molding and accuracy, I feel for common a day play soldiers has yet to be surpassed. I was a young kid in the 1960's and spent many a happy hour playing with them but unfortunately was nearly always "conned" into swapping them with older boys for inferior Crescent and Lone Star soldiers. I was never fortunate enough to be given a large box of them like this though.



So recently I decided to re-create my own for my own collection.



The boxes were all re-wraps from old boxes and the Khaki Card was created on Paint Shp Pro from photos.

Happy Days.
