I see from the website that Peter Johnson has withdrawn the range as the moulds are worn. They certainly are. I bought sveral hundred late last year and most of th ecastings were dreadful and needed lots of cleaning up. Its only that there's no alternative that I didn't send them back for a refund. The horses were unuasable and sadly it took a lot of doing to get Peter to make a new mould and produce some decent castings though they still needed some cleaning up.
A real shame as the designs by Aly Morrison are wonderful.
The Little Britains are continuing in production.

Such a shame as STS and Irregular were the start of my 42mm collections. I bought some
of the latter Victorian range recently just before the change of ownership and they were good.
For those interested I have a French, British and Italian mid 19 century range 42mm toy soldier range contact ceb@ewbts.co.uk see pictures on website E W Baylis Toy Soldiers

My plastic sample pack of Spencer Smiths from the 1980s were flashy enough then. When Facebook contacts mentioned that Peter Johnstone announced he was ‘selling up’ the Spencer Smith Miniatures range, I panicked and ordered / bought 50 more STS Little Britons LBB30 Boy Scouts from his / Aly’s 42mm range - thankfully Peter reassures me the these are staying in production. Beautifully crisp castings ...
