Well as I said it was new to me.

I was sure I looked at the site a few weeks back and it was still the old site that I looked at

Must be senility setting in

I've used H&R models for a long time and agree with the range and quality, particularly for the price :)

I haven't ordered directly as yet, used to get mine through SpiritGames

I have ordered from them. agree that  they have
great range and service ~ time to NZ for order was only 6 days.
only slight issue is that they charge flat postage rate to NZ so I got
everything I needed in one order  :)

My brother-in-law offloaded a bunch of H&R tricorne guys on me which are so nicely proportioned I pondered over getting them on the table and designing some buildings to go with them.

I had a chat on Saturday with a well-known 6mm manufacturer who at one time nearly acquired the H&R line. RE building design, the consensus was that there would be a visible difference between 5mm H&R and today's 6mm. And, needless to say, the 6mm market would garner greater rewards.

The H&R ranges are being added to and the new site gives the pioneering miniatures a fresh look and I wish the business well. I'm slightly shocked, though, that the fine 5mm figures that gave birth to a thriving market in 6mm were sculpted by a sculptor whose name now appears to be forgotten. But I'm getting used to the fact that Wargames History is written by the folk that commission and manufacture miniatures rather than the guys who push the modelling putty into shape.
