Once upon a time I found a UK company called The Honourable Lead Boiler Suit. They had a magnificent range of Great War figures. 28-30mm scale, the anatomy that was just so, the research behind the figures was exemplary.
I bought a few samples (about 15 or so) and admired them greatly before partially painting them and then putting them aside.

Well, the inevitable happened and I decided I wanted more and of course they had gone out of production.
Let this be a lesson to all who read. Strike while the iron is hot!
I suppose the Plan B is Raventhorpe.

And wouldn't these fellows look dapper in Horizon Bleu?

The bugler and officer do certainly have character. It's a pity the firm went out of business.
Horizon blue is very attractive, isn't it? Much better than all those khaki shades - and where are all the colourful flags... ;-)
Cheers,

Ha, yes indeed.

That's happened to me as well looking to top up on figures I probably bought 20 years ago!
What about IT Figures 20mm WW1 range? I have a few and they are very nice and appear to still be available from frontlinewargaming.
Stryker, yes, I have been looking there as well and they are certainly my next choice.
I've had dealings with frontline in the past and have always had a favorable impression.
Regards,
Greg
