Its been a little while since I've had time to post on the blog, but I've recently had this new kit in to stock from a new producer in Poland called Beck Miniatures. The Berliet truck was a widely used van from World War One and through in to the start of World War Two. This is a beautifully...

I also use www.parcel2go.co.uk for parcels to Italy, this website is an intermediary one for several courier companies and I generally choose TNT. They collect on one day and I've know them to deliver next day. The downside is that TNT state that they will only collect from a business address...

Great work Pete, I'm painting this figure myself at the moment, if it finishes half as good as yours I'll be happy.

Great to see this figure released Ulrich, I'm looking forward to seeing this one and your future releases! :)

There was a post on Facebook recently where someone had posted a completed picture of the boxing match and it looked fantastic, it really is amazing what the plastics manufacturers are doing now. I'll certainly be getting the Somme set, unless my memory is failing me its based on a photograph...

I think that is an amazing find Colin, certainly not the silliest purchase ever. Coincidentally, I wrote the brief for two future Tommy's War releases this weekend and one of them is going to be a Canadian. I've been researching the Canadian army of the period and its fascinating. There are...

A great sculpt and as you know Carl as a fellow Brummie a fantastic subject. The uniform and webbing is absolutely spot-on, the best reference for the Birmingham Pals is a book of that name by a Birmingham author called Terry Carter. The book shows Neville Chamberlain inspecting the Birmingham...

Marc, let me know which bits are broken and I'll send you replacements. Sorry you're finding it frustrating, it does have some very fine parts, but I'm always happy to replace anything that breaks Kind regards Darren

Just checked and both men were entitled to British war medal and victory medal (so entered theatre post 1915), sadly neither men's service or pension records exist, but still looking for information

I can post a message mate and get you a decent valuation, can you tell me exactly what medals are included? The standard First World War medals would consist of a British war and victory medal and if he entered the war early enough either a 1914 star or 1914-15 star, plus of course an MM. Photos...

Richie, I collect medals and am a member of the British Medal Forum, let me do some research and I'll come back to you. About a third of WW1 service records exist (the archive was damaged in the blitz), so I'll have a search through the archives. Lets see what I can find!

Heart warming, great work and very creative

Great new site Paul, the BMSS seems to be having a bit of a revival which is great to see. Girls, look at the images of the 2012 annual show, in between Rob Lane and Carlos is a bit of 'eye candy' for you.

Fantastic Steve. I love the hotchkiss!

I'll certainly be buying that one, wonderful work.
