      in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations

      He is still buying high end stuff and selling it WITHOUT putting on the website...selling to preferred buyers who have a wishlist. How do I know? ...he has done that for me in the past (as a buyer)...and as a seller, he recently (but not TOO recently) purchased some nice items from me, and NONE of it made posting. I strongly believed he moved it to a preferred customer directly..

      that's my take. All that being said, I think supply and demand is still "limiting" in the western hemisphere... and I don't know to what degree IM is involved in the eastern European trade, in order to maintain a VIABLE business. So, I can't say with confidence he will be around forever.

      Figures...

      in Military Art

      thanks guys! -

      Nope...the figurines simply sit on "marble candle holders" (courtesy of pier one), high up on bookshelves in my study...amongst my medals and book collection. I painted these figures about 10 years ago, while working shift hours in the Pentagon.. I keep them clean my lightly blowing compressed air on them. I used acrylics mixed with enamel... only way to take the shine out of the cloth on the uniforms.

      Key is, I was SINGLE at the time when I painted these. My wife is trying to get me back into painting figurines, but we have 4 boys (all under the age of 11). She doesn't understand that, when I get in a rythm, I don't like to stop painting! I used to go for anywhere from 4 to 8 hours at a time. You can't do that with my current army!!

      Anyway...attaching one more this evening... a Zulu war scene.

      regards, Dan
