Once while near the centre of Rome 1981 I saw a tou shop with the most fantastic display of Starlux figures.I did not buy any.Why? Well I don't know but there you are.I've started recollecting on the internet.I'm trying to catalogue everything they did.If you can help let me know.Keep returning to this page to see new stuff.I'm repainting everything.

THE Poster for the Alamo.When I was a kid I playede Alamo games with cowboys.Little did I know that in America Marx had brought out sets.All we know of the Alamo is mythology.The Wayne film while much better than the silly remake was all historical nonsense but what a film. Very well done.
