Conte figures were state of the art. If all you had were Marx, Airfix, Matchbox, and a smattering of Lido & MPC guys, these sets were a revelation. Honorable Mention to TSSD. Great show!

@ThePlasticGeneral 3 года назад

Agreed! TSSD apricated what Conte was doing and decided to join his new revolution of figure stature.

Really nice job. Good job on the figure displays - you might want to read some of the reviews from the Plastic Soldier Review website - including reference to the ported weapons and equipment would bring your nice pieces to another level. Love your conversion on the Hummel > Nashorn! Just great workmanship on your part!

@toysoldier68 3 года назад

I‘m totally fascinated by conte collectibles scale 1/32. Unfortunately I wasn‘t active at that time, but I was still able to catch SS Troops, Wehrmacht and British paratroopers about 3 years ago on ebay. I would really like to have the WW2 playsets (buildings, church etc.) - These sets are absolutely amazing, but unfortunately they are no longer made.

10:20 you can see them painted on my channel ;-) . They were the first figures that I painted again about 3 years ago. I had bad brushes and no magnifying lamp. Today I would most likely paint them better but I think they are ok

When it comes to Conte, Plastic Platoon or Publius I don't feel the urgent need to paint them. Perhaps one day?
