interesting find about Old Northwest Trading Co figuires...

Ran into an interesting piece of trivia by accident. I was looking at the new releases from the Squadron Shop's site. I looked under Valiant Miniatures 54mm unpainted pewter soldiers to see what was new. Well there's a bunch of new GI's and some new Krauts. Go to the Valiant Miniatures site at www.veltd.net and click on "54mm figiures". Have a look at the new WW2 figures. See if they look a little familiar. Hint: go to the MTSC site and look at the new WW2 figures from Old Northwest Trading Co. Some of us who paint our own figures might be able to save a LOT of money!

Well I wonder whos pulling our chain? MTSC? Or what, the paint is the same as the ONWTC? So are they even painting them? Or are they supplying unpainted to valiant?

1) No paint. Valiant sells unpainted castings, so if you don't paint your own figures, you can get them from ONTC.

2) Further info ONTC, Valiant Miniatures and MTSC are under the same ownership flag. That explains a lot!
