SIZE COUNTS





MODEL SOLDIERS FROM FIXED BAYONET Unpainted £5 each plus free painted model. Non-Dinpinti / 7 Euro + soldatino gratis con ogni ordine. This applies only to the FIXED BAYONET SOLDIERS which are of our unique manufacture or made for us.SEE list of what is available .All other soldiers listed here are just those we like and want to feature.We do not sell anything thats not on our list.



The size of 54mm soldiers is one that like it or not is a central issue asa regards collectors; its also psychological ; people who are not drawn to the hobby are immediately drawn to the Eyes Right or Accurate (the red pieces to the top left)pieces other than the A.I.P pieces. The Britain's official size has never been bettered but I suspect that those who favour the A.I.P pieces (see upnaways great painted pieces above)or the rugged robust 54mm size do so because they are easier to see when painting.Although the A.I.P soldiers are incredible in their range it seems a shame that they are not compatible with Britains; it would have been great if they had continued that tradition.
The AWI soldiers of accurate are some of the finest ever maqde and echo the Britains size.The Accurate British seen here in red are most likely the best ever done and better than the Britain's ones.
