    Hello Folks

    Some time ago we commissioned Carl Reid to create a WW1 Western Front scene which would epitomise the war in the trenches from the British/Commonwealth perspective.This 7 x figure 75mm scale diorama is the end result which we hope you like. It depicts a group of infantrymen in the act of 'going over the top' during the initial stages of an assault.

    Thanks to Steve Reedie for sculpting the SMLE and Lewis guns

    A few sets will be available for the EME show in Folkestone next weekend. If anyone is attending the show and wishes to collect one please email me on gordonmi@hotmail.com

    Anyone attending the EME will be pleasantly surprised at the special show price which will be on display at the RDG stand on Saturday 11th May.


    Smaller groups of figures and some individuals will be made available at a later date.

    Cheers
    Gordon

    Gordon, Carl & Steve what a contribution to the modelling world. I could not find words to express the emotiveness of this piece so I borrowed a few.
    Congratulations to all.

    You see people wondering if we're in a 'Golden Age of Modelling' or not.

    This is one of those pieces that answers that question, with an emphatic yes.

    Well, we're running out of superlatives for this one ! There's absolutely no doubt that this is a show-stopper and show-winner . Heartiest congratulations to all concerned.
    If ever there was a set of figures that matches this for emotion and imagination, I've yet to see it . Masterful in every respect.

    Will this be available for mail order? Any idea on the price at this point?
