Started a conversation with him just now.

Hi Don Chronos Miniatures has re-issued this miniature. I ordered and received one a couple of months ago. Same boxing.

Excellent work. Always been fascinated by the Ohka since I build my first one using the 1.48 Hawk kit in the last century

Anyone know what the current status is of this company? Is there a dealership handling their miniatures? I haven't had any response to their info email. TIA

This is a better color pic of my Basil and the clip I used to get a match

Even though it’s not historical, I couldn’t resist Basil Fawlty of Fawlty Towers. 90mm painted with acrylics. I think it’s a good John Cleese likeness. It’s one thing to paint a generic face but trying to capture a specific person was a bit of a challenge for me. My biggest problem was...

Here's another pic that may help. Note the bell top to the shako Post March 24, 1836 Order, the sergeant on the left would wear a single chevron, point up above the elbow (note 3-button cuff and trouser stripe). Corporal would be wearing a single chevron, point up below the elbow ( note...

Gott'a wade in one this one. Yes, it is slightly different than Troiani's print and Bill's original. I just got my figure assembled and primed....still have a bit of detail cleanup before painting. The APG figure is a very good representation of an 1836 Marine based on the USMC 1833 uniform...

That's the tunic. I don't rely too heavily on matching colors to pictures but his flesh tones look good. Andrea has a Napoleonic Green I may check in to as a base. I was thinking about a Rifle Green but I think it is darker than what I see above. A&S wear the Government tartan (same as...

Looking for acrylic recommendations for c.1985 A&S Highlander "Archer Green" for tunic. TIA

Nice paint job on this figure. Any chance we can get the colors Javier used for the basic uniform?

I understand the situation and decision you have to make. I have enjoyed a number of your Troop 54 figures and hate to seem them go. However, as Martin64 mentioned above...PLEASE keep us posted here on the forum of what you release in the future even if only limited runs.

I agree with Steve. Fred Adolphus has done exhaustive research on Confederate uniforms and has written a large number of articles. I get on his website and download all of his articles. Steve makes a good point.....permanent fabric dyes were an issue for both Union and Confederate uniforms...

Yes. the collar and cuffs would be Black. The swirly bit (sometimes rereferred to as Chicken Guts) were gold lace. It's not unusual to also find a thin black edging around the bottom of the jacket and on the front of the closure as seen on frock coat #3 on the previous posting above by Martin64

Cavalry Yellow and original Federal shell jacket but same cavalry yellow for both Confederate & Union branch colors. Some flexibility in hue

The kit sword should pass for either infantry or artillery but generally speaking cavalry swords had an open basket type guard. However Confederate swords ranged from very fine to very crude and makers ranging from jewelers to plow factories to local blacksmiths. Plus you had imported, family...

A few more pics. This is an original "Steel Grey" uniform Better shot of original Richmond Depot "English Army Cloth" jacket Another original French Light Blue trousers (also facing color) And finally an excellent reproduction of a brown-grey jean with black infantry facings Looking at...

Hello Adrian, You have a lot of options with this figure. You can do him as infantry with the blue facings, artillery with red facings or cavalry with yellow facings. The cavalry yellow tended to be a medium share; not a deep yellow. If you go with buff facings you would have a staff...

FR54-72 Glover’s Marblehead Regiment c..1776 La Meridiana Couldn’t resist a bit of fun with this figure. The Marblehead Regiment is best known for evacuating Washington’s 9,500-man army overnight in Aug 1776 from Brooklyn Heights where British more or less had him trapped. They are also...

I'll put mine up when I get some paint going. But I am slow and have my 75mm 2nd Rhode Island primed and ready to start, have a 54 mm AWI Glover's Marblehead Regt almost done (54's are tough on my eyes these days) and I just primed a 90mm Basel Fawlty "Don't mention the war"
