Dec 06

The first range of 28mm figures is well under way, the dollies have been sculptured for the first four packs from our French Foreign Legion range, part of the Exotic Adventures range, once these have been cast, Richard Ansell will complete them.

I've gone for the classic 1900-1920 period look (Beau Geste) and they are compatible with other ranges (Copplestone Castings   -   High Adventure).

The figures, once completed, will be available towards the end of February 2007.

Please feel free to make any requests for future figures, you would like to see.
