Taisho – revival of a vintage white metal figure kit

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Most of you will have followed the “long” negotiations between Gustavo and me about the loan of the original Taisho kit here. and some might be quite exited about the closure of the deal. The kit is now ready and I got a first copy (OK … part of the deal).

So, for those of you who are interested in purchasing this kit it is available on E-Bay by Gustavo under his seller name “miniatnapoleon“. He does have quite some other good figures listed there as well, so if you are interested in figures and are looking for some great and inexpensive figure kits, pay his auctions a visit … it’s well worth it. Even with the very moderate (!) shipping costs on top you get a great kit for a fraction of the price of an original!

Taisho – a Ray Lamb original

This is most probably the 1 kit I will never do or at least no in the near future. My Dad bought this kit in the UK in the 70s or 80s. It’s a 6″ white metal kit of a Japanese Samurai.
