I have just posted details of the products available from the Spanish Figure/Diorama manufacturer - Toro Models. As the company has recently announced details of two new figures, it seems like an appropriate time to highlight their interesting range. As a footnote, it is worth looking at the name of the designer of some of their buildings - he may be fairly familiar...

When I saw the little house and the way the roof runs to end of the dio ... I didnt need to look for a name. Carlosī work has become quite famous and what a pleasure to have a talented guy like this posting regularly!
Great tips again Jim. The DAK figure is a great effort for a first, but the poses of the upcoming guys look really neat. Hopefully they can set up a good deal with some distributor!

Chris, well I've been on touch with them already, so theoretically we could 'feed' thems some suggestions...Jim

I echo the above comments, some good detailed figures, let's hope that they will not end up creating just another load of German WWII figures though, as we seem to have plenty of those already. It would be nice to see more figures of different armies and theatres, aswel as more civilians or even resistance workers...

I agree with the last 2 posts lets give them some encourgement to deversify perhaps something from the Spanish Civil War ..International Brigade i agree with the need for more civis,my dad said that sometimes in the middle of some action some civis would appear from bloody now where oblivious to what was going on around them pushing a wheel barrow...I for one am going to give themsurggestions.
