Not perhaps a News Story - more a ''New to you?'' , this is a report on what''s currently available from ''Doug''s Originals'' - a company which was set up by the well-known modeller, Douglas Lee, to market his own range of figures and animals for dioramas and AFVs. The full story can be seen:

These look superb and so very natural, I just hope that they collect a UK importer/reseller in the near future.

Fantastic! Doug is a real master and produces some fantastic sculpts, I think nearly all his dioramas have figures in that he has sculpted. These figs look superb and very original, im just praying that he releases some of those IDF troops he sculpted for the Golan Heights dio.

Greetings all,

Very nice Figures Doug with good poses, well sculpted and it's great to see a crew for jeeps, trucks or just sitting around. I like you animals too.

I like your British Tanker, he looks great with his beret sitting back on his head.

My only observation would be that the NWE troops all have closed DB collars. This would rarely have been the case as anyone who has worn DB will know. A more itchy and uncomfortable garmet was never designed and worn over an equally itchy shirt at least the top collar woulld have been left open when in the field.

That said I think these are some of the most interesting and useable subjects I've seen for a while and as John says I hope you link in with a UK supplier. I know someone who will love the kilted officer.

Really great to see these and 10 out of 10 for the subjects, poses and sculpting.

Cheers

Al
