A Chota Sahib figure originaly from our ex Sarum Studio Figurine Range, (we own both scales of the Entire production) takes a walk out in the States, disguized apparently as a "Real model" American trucker....we appear to have inherited the "Real Model Master for him. most "informative".nice modern figure. 90MM scale. "ELVIS" on rear jacket panel.

One of Al Charles's Saxons in 54 MM Scale (In our considered opinion closer to sixty MM scale size)*. Well detailed and lifelike. There are a good number like him in the range too.

Amazingly, "No" the Busty Vampire woman winged figure is NOT one of "Cliff Sandersons" fantasy figures. Al and Dale apparently.....
The Major
Interesting unusual action poses, and high levels of detail mark this range of figures. The helmet armour and halberd of the taller figure are particulalry finely detailed

The Tragedy that met our eyes when we checked the "Rosedale" masters...these were clearly maliciously damaged, crushed and "Torn" around a year ago. breaks are "fresh" but bag is "dirty". Fools no one here....Kaputnik again.

Rosedale Masters for the "Battle of Zama". Some relatively minor damage, but figures "missing" and oh look?! We have been joined by a Saxon warrior as well. Poor chap such a long way from Stamford Bridge eh?!!! Like lots of Rosedale under Kaputnik it got mixed up in the wrong boxes...

We have discovered MASTERS dating back to "Falcon" in the year 1974. And other MASTERS dating back to 1978, 1984, 1977, and even 1968....
The older figures are actually SUPERIOR in craftsmanship to many "new" offerrings today !!!

We finally found that in fact we have MANY more "MASTERS" than Moulds. Certainly Max will re make toolings for at least a percentage of these rare special older "treasures" and re issue the figures and kits again to the Hobby world. We have around Seven Thousand differrent toy soldier or kit choices. What a potential workload !!!!
The Major
Original Plastic production "Masters" for the Mountford british 17 Lb Anti tank Gun. Except...N Z "lost" parts of the original "Masters" and made substitutions for Metal "castings" (sub masters) instead. And "failed" to tell me anything.....like all the rest of the stuff then....All the Crew are GONE too.....F F FFFF "FOOEY" !!!!

I need to remake the British WW2 Army Gun Crew for the Seventeen Pounder Gun. Well, the Chinese word for "Crisis" also is the SAME word for "Opportunity". Lol.

Best practice perhaps to make a Western Europe Khaki Twill crew, and a Tropical Short Burma or Desert Crew at the same time. Did the Australians ever use the Seventeen Pounder by the Way in Burma???
The Major
Our lovely Medieval Knights originaly by Rosedale. Alas the former owner "lost" the Mould for their Arms and weapons....so I have to now research and make "new ones" again.....another Delay BAH !!!@@(((((

Releases are therefore likely to be more "random" in nature, rathr than a smooth flow of subject matter or type. id hoped we could AVOID this right at the start. EXIT Mr Kaputnik from New Zealand stage Left in Sack Cloth and Ashes....
The Major
Honestly I do not know or understand HOW the previous owners EVER managed to create or sell a single item. Virtualy everything has to be sorted and re sorted into sub assembelies. Its been a YEAR already and I confess to some abatement of my hopes...
The Major
One is obliged to get product out ready for clients to buy and for us to sell before Christmas time. hence sometimes our release plans take a fresh direction oweing to "unexpected" discoveries among the Toolings and masters.
The Major
It is both satisfying and dis satisfying at the same time owning the "remains" of Fleurbaix toy Soldiers. We cast some lovely Knights only to discover that "kaputnik" has lost the mould for their arms and weapons...Grrrrr. Work has definately began however, and production will slowly gain a pace ....
The Major
Production "Masters" for Charles Dickens famous "Christmas carol" featuring Tiny Tim and Ebeneezer Scrooge. Some repair work is needed....hopefully in good time for Christmas !!

Original Plastic Production "Masters" to make a Bofors 40 MM Gun. Alas "Kaputnik" in N Z lost or destroyed the Gun Barrel "master" so we have a casting Barrel part (sub master) only for this item right now....
