We Inherited not ONE but TWO Gattling gun wheel on carriage P3010308.JPGkits in 1/32 Scale (Plus the Gattling Gun Mounted on Desert Camel). The Kit shown below Artwork, the Masters sadly incomplete and in a realy poor state. The second one ABOVE in Mould tool is actually a ROSEDALE Kit

Being from ROSEDALE explains (of course !) the prescence of a Medieval Knights Helm in the same Mould. DONGGGGG
Now you see...R.U.C Armoured LandRover Vehicle. Northern Ireland "The Troubles". I have brought this kit back again from a pile of muddled masters and castings and old papers.........Still to be in 1/48 Scale. (Though would anyone fancy a "Tender" to make us one for 1/32 Scale LIMITED EDITION ONLY????? Send us a private message.

We have now posted further notices on our FACEBOOK sites and other pages, warning of this. Stealing another persons work and products is THEFT, illegal and moraly and financialy reprehensible. In EU Piracy attrracts up to 3 prison years and a 300 000 fine. or both. Well, we warned you.....
We have examined his "Online Catalogue" and found a great man illegal and copyright infirngement toy soldier products stolen from ourselves. We have warned them before in writing to no avail or positive results. His UK toolmaker is equally guilty, knowing full well the ownership and true origin of the product range, there can be NO EXCUSE for them.
WARNING OF COPYRIGHT PIRACY INFRINGEMENT PRODUCTS ON SALE.
Wea re evry sad and rather angry, to be once again, to our utter and total dismay and disgust, taht a certain Swedish Toy Soldier dealer who gets his casting done in England, is once again selling stolen toy soldier designs from two of our ranges.
Ouefff Just been tidying up the toolings just used last week....Moving heavy Moulds, Metal parts and some Machinery can be tireing and hard work. I'm just starting another "run" to cast up some Larger Scale iems but due to rarity, and subject matter I think its still worthwhile to make a couple of each one "up" to sell.
Will get the photos up here when I get five minutes....

"What you see is what you get" they said....no actually it was not, far from it altogether.....After that, who knows what i will do about the stuff here.....to put it mildy I am incandescent with rage about all this. And I want my money back with Compensation as well. No Obituary, no death paper? HE IS NOT DEAD !!!! run off more like with our Money

I think I can help with the Schneider Mountain gun. I most likely have one on kit format, not sure I still have the box art work, these are great sets. Also have a Schneider mountain gun being transported not negotiable.Please let me know if you are interested. Send a PV. As you could see by my other postings I am a great Mountford fan and want to help new generations of collectors benefit from such nice sets.

The figures are good. Made to be compatable to W Britain and canbe displaayed alongside them, by David James Love, Mountford original owner, they still look good today.

Our Casting White Metal (nicknamed White Gold !) is of a VERY HIGH PURETY only. We DO NOT USE cheaper Alloys from certain suppliers, that contain dirty troublesome "Impurities". NOTE All Metal Ingots are securely stored and guarded at a secure location and nothing of "value" ever gets left inside the works at night or weekends.

Polite Information.
Some of our Mould toolings ARE "very old" and some, like Jock Coutts Under Two Flags "New" (before 1998 !!!!) have NEVER ever been worked or cast up before. Due to rough and slip shod Shipping from N Z, some tools are bent and disfigured, leading to technical delays and special compensations in our workshop.

Above>; One of our Two De Burring points. Rotary hand held Motor Cutting, abasive and Polishing tools are used to "improve" and de Flash the older moulded products, and to remove "Flash" when present. I also oversee, and when not occupied elsewhere, personaly clean away and "De Burr" the castings before they ever go into the boxes. WE DO NOT SELL "rough work" to customers.
Als work holds true today, the Horses "flow" and billow, just as the real horses do in real life....living "Metal" full of the Love of craftsmanship of older and better days and times....We cant "live in the past, but we can still apreciate and enjoy works from it...

Barded Horse before flash clean up and separatiopn....Al Charles designed a lot of these Horses, as well as the "Thrones" for Camelot....and the King and Queen figures too.....When Al died a few years back we bought a lot of neevr before released MASTERS from his friend who cleared out his workshop.....I will be issuing those.....

Al Charles did a lot of work for Greenwood and Ball, and a lot of other makers as a subcontractor too. He made many of our ROSEDALE figures by the way too.....
