Loved his figures in books and magazines as a kid. The market moved on and castings changed. But I still miss that old style. Looked good in mass on a table. Still have books showcasing these figures. |

Gilder's figures always had "personality" and a character to them. I still enjoy looking at them to this day. He defined the "Grand Manner" ideal of wargaming for me. |
