| Tell you what; the detail on these figures is absolutely brilliant. They must laser cut these casts. Great post 1st Lt.

| Agreed Littlehand , they've come a long way from the days of the unpainted plastic one's I used when I was growing up . I think the first ever colour detailed set I saw were members of the African Corps of WW2 . A friend of mine had them , boy was I envious !  . They would look fairly ordinary against the ' Soldiers ' of today . cheers 90th. |

| These models are brilliant, I wish that I had the eyes I used to have when I was a younger man. I would have been very content to have made models like these, they are just fantastic, the detail is superb. Very well done, excellent work. Many thanks 1stLt Regards, Martin. |

| Hi 1st Lt. Wonderfully set up as usual , yes , the weather has been very mild here so that is a good thing . Anything up to 33 is ok but once you start getting to 35 or hotter .  . Must be old age , I was fine when I used to play cricket , the heat didnt bother me at all . cheers 90th. |
