Those were top-of-the-line in the 60s. Today, most collectors and painters turn their noses up at them. I collect them, though, along with Staddens, Rose, and other figures made back then. They still paint up nicely. @1:46 That's not a "British frontier fort", that looks like the defense of Hougoumont during the Battle of Waterloo. @1:48 Looks like Prussians from the Napoleonic wars, marching past their Austrian allies who offer a salute.

Also do you have larger miniatures?" Manufacturer: "Most of the time i sell 15 maybe 25mm scaled figures" Producer: "Psssst, the camera cant pick up 25 millimeters!" and so the 50mm range was born
