Barry designs, sculpts, moulds, and produces them, and I put them on the site. What a team.

Best to clarify a few points the figures are sculpted by Tony Boustead and cast by CMA and they are 1:72/1:76 scale.
The next set will be of American troops early War with the distictive "gaiters" I have sent Peter a full set so expect better pic's soon

A little off topic with apologies.

Barry, may I be so bold as to make a couple of suggestions:

For the trucks you will be making, and for the other vehicles already available from other manufacturers, it would be nice to have some crew figures and seated passengers (not just Generals and officers, but also infantry being transported in the back of the truck/top of the bus etc).

And, on your catalogue, perhaps some indication of how we can get them. I can find your email address, and two stockists, but it might improve sales if the info is right there on the catalogue.

The figures look great, by the way. Really looking forward to the Vickers clyno. Do you have any plans for solo motorcycles?

In reply,many thanks for the feedback,as to your questions;
The Dennis truck should be out soon for this I shall be selling a driver and passenger
Seated passengers will come with the B type bus with full kit other suitable seated figures will be introduced with the diorama sets.
Solo motorbike;the Clyno will be released with that option as we have sourced suitable wheels then yes but I would need scale drawings etc.
I have asked Peter to put the email address on the Suppliers list,however I am building a website which should solve a lot of problems the only drawback is that it will take time(a small step for Barryetc etc !!!!!!)
I have created a monster and it's out of control!!!!!!

That's great news, Barry, thanks for replying.

I can guess the problem is that a website will increase customer exposure and sales, but will also take a lot of investment in time in an area for which you may not be as expert as you are at making figures and models, and it is time taken away from doing what you enjoy most. A problem for which I have no good suggestions! My personal opinion (for what its worth) is that Milicast, Black Lion and Retrokits have got it right, and Matador have not quite got it. Hopefully, all you guys are in contact with each other, and you have been getting a lot of good and useful help and advice. The only help I can offer is a round of applause!
