The 30mm sets- of which there were never more than half a dozen were all Napoleonic 4 being artillery dioramas of gun and crew boxed with bases , painting instructions and bits of scenic material. There was also a Spanish Napoleonic "campfire scene" .<br /> Hinds figure still has the 30mm scale guns and crews . i think under his "supergun" catergory - there may still be an absolutly cracking heavy siege gun suitable for the 18th century available- but the gunners don't have the separate swords . I picked up most of those I have from EBAY.<br /> Most of the stuff under the Caldercraft label was simply re-packaged Hinchliffe. They seem to have withdrawn the idea in the very early 80s but I'm not absolutely sure about that.<br />Hope that helps.<br /> Andy Big Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235478427317774609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780195401099519720.post-35998461698009813542017-01-06T06:10:57.151-08:002017-01-06T06:10:57.151-08:00Lovely painting, Andy!
