Any Holy Grails that you are after...?

[yellowcat]

Wow $350 I think the original price was $150. The FD Mounted Sioux was a very popular piece as well. 120mm has always been my fav scale so now I pick up anything in that scale for a bargain (but not $350 )

Cheers

Ray

I think you may still be able to get the FD Mounted Sioux from John's Models. They acquired some of the originals from FD in 2003. It was featured in their catalogue some years ago.

Hi There

Two 120mm mounted kits

- Fort Duquesne mounted Red Devil Samurai Captain
- legends mounted mongol archer

Cheers

Ray

The Legends mounted Mongol archer took me some years to get it.

 

[Edward]

The Holy Grail figures for me are:

Martin Dietrich, 70mm - Fort Duquesne
Private 95th Rifles, 90mm - Almond Sculptures
Chinese Boxer, 90mm - Historical Miniatures/Mike Good
Robin Hood, 54mm - La Fortezza
US Cavalry, 100mm - SCAHMS figure

The Almond figure sometimes comes up on eBay but the others seem to be very rare - hope I can get them all someday.

Great question!
A few spring to mind.

I'd have to say the Elite Miniatures Mongol Archer in 70mm - I'd love that figure.

I painted the Mongol some time ago and received a silver for him at Euro.Still sitting in my cabinet.

I've got the Donald Sutherland bust unpainted if your after it

 

[Babelfish]

I might be interested in the Donald Sutherland bust Brian if you are looking to offload it. But I am more than happy to let Paul have first dibs, seeing as he expressed an interest first and it's on his wish-list.

There was a thread on that Mike Good boxer figure a while back:

I'd also like to get another Robin Hood figure - I think it was Legends "Welcome to the Forest" - Errol Flynn.

Sounds kind've 'Jane like' to me Gary

"Jayne--you'll scare the women."

I had never heard of border reivers/reavers before I watched "Firefly", and then I looked 'em up. I thought it was an interesting use of the term.

 

[Viking Bob]

I saw this years ago and did not get it at the time and now no longer available

Hi Del - Is this the figure you were thinking about?
This one was painted by me in enamels about 30 years ago and is a little dusty. . .

Now you mention it, I do recall that now - an excellent job there mate!

Would love to see this bad boy back on the market Elite 70mm Mongol

That's the very one Paul. Certainly of its period but still stands up well as a convincing representation of a youngster. Could see it based beside a lance frame at a tournament.
A very decent paint job given its age, it's a model that would benefit from todays products.
Thanks so much for posting
Cheers

I think that the closest thing I had to a holy grail was EMI's 54mm Stradiotto but I am happy to say that with the help of some very kind PF members I managed to find it some time ago.

Another one of my grails is Grifo Models' 54mm figure of a Bückeburg carabinier from the Seven Years War. Someone posted a photo of one in my thread over at the Treefrog Toy Soldier forum:

I have never seen one, but I have kept my eye open for one, ever since.

Prost!
