Just wondering if anyone has bought any of their kits and what did you think of them?

Hi Murdo. I've made quite a few of their pieces. Whilst many of the figures are a little more toy-like than most modellers would like, they do paint up well. As for the guns they are nicely modelled and look really good when painted up. The guy that masters them has an interest in artillery so they are well researched too.
The 3.7" AA gun in the following pic is one of theirs - just remember they are 1/32 not 1/35 scale.

Thanks Dave,

I've been tempted to buy some of their artillery guns, in particular the 5.5", the 3.7" model you displayed and the 3" WW1 AA.

Would the difference between 1/32 and 1/35 be noticeable if it was displayed alongside 1/35th scale models?

It will be noticeable, but I have the 3.7" happily displayed with a 1/35 Matador tractor and it looks ok - figures would be more noticeable I think.
