what just has a vocal minority support!!!!

Aztecs and Tarletons for instance 

It is difficult, give the massive variations of uniform in any particular period, so I agree with the full statement.

So having seen the comments about Napoleonics, I think the Peninsula War is the best bet. 

Sorry chaps, wasn't trying to ruffle feathers. It does, though, make one appreciate Leon's problems.

I'd like to see more shots of Kylie in the Top Totty thread!

I agree entirely. I had already made a similar point. I simply saw no relationship between the comment about an 1809 campaign to others comments re 1813-14. I have always considered that Leon and Dave stretch themselves far too thinly in terms of modelling time and cost in an attempt to satisfy everyone. I could have suggested some additions or revamps ( I have actually paid for some modelling of additional items) but, no disrespect to Leon and Dave, it would probably be a long time coming and I could quite easily have moved on to something else.

What have Wagram and Aspern-Essling got anything to do with expanding the current later range of Napoleonics to cover the 1813-14 campaigns?

Nothing but they have a huge amount to do with completing the 1809 range before starting a whole new sub-period range

Well unless Leon and Dave are asked to produce a French range reflecting the change in uniform (probably not relevant in 10mm?), then surely the completion of both the Austrian and French figures for 1809 would add figures that could be used for 1813-14.

As wished many times, I'd like to see 41 Royal Marine Commando amongst the first of the Korean range. (as they were in real life).

The RM beret and US uniform/weapons gives a wide range of post war/NATO  applications. 

Thanks Stewart.Worth 2000 words!   

If you guys can find me shots/diagrams of the kit on the backs of all the models......THAT would be incredibly useful for each of the ranges.

Hello

I am amazed that nobody has mentioned pluderhosen!!!!

Everything looks better in pluderhosen . Also some early P&S  campfollowers could be handy.





I imagine it would be easy to upgrade some of the existing figures, I might have a go myself,even though it's quite a few years since I pushed putty in anger .

Cheers

Ta, Nobby.

That's the sort of thing.

I've got mixed opinions on this one, as it's nice for customers to have them available for attempting their own sculpts, but at the same time you never know if a rival company is going to get hold of some and save themselves some money by using them as dollies for their own ranges.  It's quite difficult to prove once a sculpt has been built on the armature.  We might look at it, but sell them at a higher price than regular figures, to put off anyone buying them for commercial use.

Pack them in small pack sizes say 5 or 10 dollies . Then sell these either to known customers or only as a single pack sale  with orders exceeding say £30. Regular customers will have to wait until they have an order big enough but can get them.  Rival companies are hardly going to want to spend £30 to get the 5 dollies they actually want

Like your thinking Mr Orcs.

Useful source material Stewart.  The Aussies are in the pre-WW2 37 web.  There was simply tons of it about the British supplied nations.
It also supplemented the 44 pattern.

The US soldiers are still very much WW2 in dress and kit.

The thing I found interesting about the Aussie picture is the size of the bedroll strapped on the bottom of the pack.

The photos I have seen tend to be 37 or 44 pattern webbing for the Commonwealth.

What I have read is that at one point the Commandos wore US kit bar the green beret. 

It might be cold weather gear wrapped up inside it
