Although our focus will remain on plastic figures, in the past we have included the resin figures of Nikolai and that company has released two more sets. They are 'Duck Hunt' (Ancient Egypt) and 'Medieval Women'. We have posted pictures of both which can be seen from the Nikolai listing page, and we shall be adding some brief review comments at a later date. Also new out are a number of other resin sets from the same manufacturer but under different brand names which we will be photographing shortly. |

One of the joys of running a site such as this is the many opportunities it offers to learn more about history. Another is when a mistake is made it can be instantly corrected - a luxury no book author can enjoy. A recent example is our review of Orion's Hussite War Wagon and Command, which stated that the goose standard was a common Hussite emblem. Thanks to the kind input of some of our Czech visitors we now know that is wrong, despite it being stated as fact in several books. We have now corrected that error in the review, and would like to once more thank everyone that takes the time to correct us or highlight where there is room for doubt. |

When you look at a model kit and your heart sinks it is never a good sign. That was our first reaction when we saw the Orion set of Hussite War Wagon and Command, and we have to admit we kept putting off building it. Well finally we have bitten the bullet and done a full review, and as you will see our long-delayed task was no more pleasureable than we had feared. |
