Mark consider it in the post ;)

Very nice Mark, they look like clean castings too. I have most of the Elizabeth at Tilbury set, not this one though.
-
Congratulations again. Elizabeth at Tilbury was also on my list but, time ran out before Krog closed down their site - it looked quite fun. I have a smattering of his line and they are all beautifully engraved.
I already own a few of the Henry VIII already so I will have several duplicates if you are interested I would be happy to send them your way?
These do look very clean, I had to do some repairs on a number of mine.
Looking forward to Wolf Hall so these will be nice to do at the same time.

Thanks, Mark. A kind offer but I won't add to the unpainted pile just yet. I read Wolf Hall and saw it on stage in London, and it brought the period to life, i thought it was excellent. if you have the Douchkine book, you will see the Henry VIII set beautifully painted there, a good reference.
There were rumours that the Krog catalogue had been taken over and figures were going to be produced again, not sure what happened about that.
-
Any chance someone who has the Douchkine book can shoot me a scan of the Henry VIII page?
I have been doing some research on this set for the Journal in anticipation of the figures. Really interesting in that all of them are based on paintings of the time - the bulk of them by Holbein. Some interesting choice in the set of supporting characters.

Hi Mark, I will try to send you some tomorrow.
the pages are a bit glossy and if I try to photo under electric light it tends to bounce light off them all over the place >:( I know, I've tried!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Scan them Mark.
If you don't have, or have access to, a scanner, you can jury rig a photo copy stand. Put the photos on the floor as flat as possible, put lights on both sides of the pics shining down at a 45-degree angle, then put a camera on a tripod with the camera pointing straight down over the pics. Set the the camera's white balance to whatever lights you're using. Use a remote shutter release or the camera's timer to trip the shutter.

I have a busy couple of days ahead, but if you haven't sorted out a good scan by Wednesday, let me know. I have the book and a scanner.
