It's the scale. You must not expect every posting will get an immediate response. There is a problem here. At a glance, figures this good must be 1/72. But 1/72 is dominated by cheapo bendy plastics (I am being just slightly provocative, Mark). Expensive metal, superbly modelled, figures in that scale must suffer. They cost Hasta la victoria siempre. There is only The One True Scale (but I wish the Germans would stop producing such models to this quality, in a scale that we all abandoned in the late 70s) |

They seem to have a fascination with dogs over there. Here is an example in TOTS:

There is the 95th Rifles' story that the 1/72 loving Germans ate dogs, but common-sense says that, if you are hungry enough….. I will not go into Chilean Rugby teams, in the Andes trying to survive…other than say why not….if starving to death.
Funny how we are reluctant to eat horse, but cow and sheep is great….

Qu'est-que ce "nous," mon ami? Messieurs les francais aiment le cheval- et la <<Boucherie Chevalline>> se commmence avec La Grande Armee! |

Perhaps it is the threat of the Hippophage that is what is really startling the horse above. |

Funny how we are reluctant to eat horse, but cow and sheep is great. Must not have visited Verona. |

Well, in the US, eating a horse was about like eating your own gun (ie, suicide) in the westward expansion. 100 years of "you cannot eat the animal that will save your life in case of an attack by Indians" makes a very strong cultural impact. |
