Howdy Jaberwocky I'm afraid there's nothing to speak of in the San Francisco Bay Area, Franciscan Hobbies and the Hobby Co. in San Francisco, D+J Hobbies in Campbell (San Jose area) L+ M Hobbies in San Carlos and Talbot's Toys in San Mateo (S.F. peninsula) are small general hobby shops that...

The dude on the right kinda looks like Glenn Beck. Aside from that, the one aspect that Napoleon's troops share with Hitler's legions is pretty self-evident and one of the reasons I think we all dig this thing of ours: COOL UNIFORMS.

Got to agree with a lot of your picks especially Gary's, with Memorial Day Marathons going on Turner Classic Movies and American Movie Classics, I'm reminded of alot of great movies...and some real schlock. Here's some more to add to the lists The Wind and the Lion Hell is for Heroes Thirty...

I know we call this thing of ours "Historical Miniatures" and facts matter but Holy Shinoly who gives a flying fornication if its two lions three lions or four lions when they look that fornicating good! Hardy, your work blows my mind. Thanks John

Anders Heintz: You wouldn't think of McCain if I were to sculpt an aging white man. Or would you? Just consider this and draw your own conclusion.:D Quang Quang, only if you sculpted him with that early-stage dementia look in his eye! John B.

wow...those are some figures Which leads me to question...how come none of the big manufacturers have ever produced a Nativity Set? It seems like such a natural, especially for Andrea with their monstrous dioramas of U-Boats, triemes, castles and the like. How many of us would feel compelled...

Anders Another circumnavigation around the sun successfully completed CONGRATULATIONS John

Let's see...U-Boot interior, U-Boot conning tower, besieged castle, trebuchet, Roman trieme, Viking ship, stage coach, U.S. Army supply wagon, French Napoleonic gun and caisson team, 30 Years War era artillery piece and ox team, various chariots and elephants--oh yeah and the ACW era steam...

It would be nice if Steffano Cannone added a 70mm Tarleton Legionairre to stand next to his Continental Lee's Partizan.

Howdy I believe Andrea sells alot of their vignette kit figures seperately, you might try the female from the "Lili of the Lamplight" kit. If memory serves the demeanor of the figure's pose is sufficiently 'strutty' and pouty--also a very close match to 1/35. Cheers John
