Very interesting figure this - I like it a lot and that wedgie is different ! Well done chaps a good figure indeed.

 

[Michael Tse]

Beautiful!

 

[Tommy's War]

Another outstanding figure from Nino. A great subject, the Bersiagliere are an underestimated unit of the desert war.

Definately one for my 'to do' list!

Perhaps if I could read Italian, I would know this, but is the grouping of Woodland Indians and a Trapper a concept pic of a future release? Are these figures in the process of being sculpted? Thanks! Don

The Trapper is right up my ally,so that one is a no brainer. That Italian is one of the nicest Italian WW2 figures on the market IMO, I will have to add that to my "to do list"

Hi Don,
all these characters will form part of a whole diorama - a Hudson Bay Trading Post. You can see more images of the whole concept on the La Meridiana Blog here: http://meridianamagazine.blogspot.com/
It will include a house and pier/pontoon plus various accessory bits and figures.

 

[Don Johnson]

Matt, thanks for the clarification. Will look forward to this with interest!

 

[MattMcK.]

Will the Trading Post be a commecially available set, or is it primarily a showpiece? Looks fantastic!

Hello
Fabrizio from La Meridiana asked us to put some more details about the Trading Post (he regrets his limited knowledge of English).

"This project will represent a French river port for fur trading. Initial presentations will be made at Calenzano (Italy) in March 2011. The whole project will be painted by Danilo Cartacci. The first subjects will include:
