    Very much a nostalgia thing. I had a collection of these back in the 1980s and fell in love with them again. This is the latest one I've done.

    Hi James, nice painting, many of these old figures stand the test of time. I spent a happy day yesterday cleaning up and assembling three Post Militaire figures, the ease of assembly and the weight and quality of the castings was quite remarkable and on a par with many of the better quality resin castings we tend to wax lyrical about these days.

    Ray lamb was way ahead of his time! pity he stopped when he did.

    Cheers Keith.


    Ray Lamb and Shepherd Paine's work on Historex inspired me to get into figures from vehicles and planes. I had to get a copy of the old catalogue with the wonderful photos of their conversions recently. I have most of Mike French's CR range now. I'll post more photos soon.

    How do I get the pictures right side up when I upload them? Not sure how I go about 'rotating the pixels'...
