    I would love to get my hands on the "all for the king's shilling" Series 77 vignette. If anybody knows the whereabouts of one please let me know.

    Getting back into the hobby after a 10 year hiatus, can't believe so many superb models have come and gone in that time!
    Have been trying to track down a few fav's.
    Would love to find Imperial Gallery's 120mm Scots Grey Officer & the 95th Rifles, to add to my collection.

    I would agree with that choice Nap. He is sort of my nemesis now except to the patch is on the wrong eye. I think we would have a fight on our hands if one of these ever appeared on eBay.

    I got one in my stash. I also have a 1/16 resin version put out by Imai Japan. It comes with wood strips, nails, wood base and white metal parts to make it into a small vignette.

    Well Frank......If you have a chance to land this kit I would say go for it. I am working on this bust now and I can honestly say the quality of the sculpt and casting is impeccable. But it is not for the faint of heart as it is somewhat complex and not something that can be quickly knocked out. I don't think this kit will ever be reproduced again because of the detail and the amount of parts and casting difficulty. Who knows, I may be wrong. I just finished the Mandan and the quality is equal but not as difficult....Anyway, good luck.

    Can anyone help me out sourcing this figure, I think it's an Art Gerona, or El Vego Dragon group that depicts Achillies in a 2 horse chariot dragging the body of Hector beneath the walls of Troy. As far as I remember, it's 54mm. Ray
