I've just launched the Kickstarter - running for 15 days.  :)

Fingers crossed,
Lance

Ouch.  I guess I have been mostly ordering plastic and resin figures from overseas and hadn't realized how high shipping has crept.  I was looking at Mounted and Dismounted 1 which is £80... with a s&h of £35.  All Dismounted 1 (£20) has a shipping cost of £15 to the U.S.. 

But they are really nice figures.  Sigh.

Hi Michael,
I was amazed earlier this year when the US became the most expensive destination in the world to ship to due to increased charges at the delivery end. However, I've averaged out the costs outside the UK as "Rest of World"; I hope you can still be tempted as I've held down the cost of the figures for the Kickstarter - all those pewter horses will weigh quite a lot  ;)

Cheers,
Lance

A closer view of the contents of the characters from dismounted pack TWR USC1, the two in the middle have the trapdoor breech of their carbines flipped open for loading; I had my own 1873 Springfield alongside me while sculpting  :)

I was thinking of replying with, 'To the ria huh!' but that was US Dragoons.
Hang on a minute, Lance how about (after you finish the 1880s) some
US Dragoons, oh and some early Apache, Commanche etc etc.
 :P :P :P

I think it was from The Hallelujah Trail, with Brian Keith.  Been a long time so I may be misremembering.  Which also had the memorable line "Protect both rears, simultaneously!"

No, I think it was 'Texas Across the River'.

"Where in Texas?"
