They were sold to a US based company a good few years ago AFAIK - I think you can still but them online from the US

At least the website is operative

http://www.falconminiatures.com/

That site has not been updated since 2009 and does not inlcude any of their pre-Seven Years War lines.

I wish they were .. I have 1/2 the number of Egyptian chariots I need and no other companies match particularly well.

There is this web site

http://www.falconfiguresuk.com/

However looks a bit WIP to me and not to sure I'd trust it

Thanks

I fear its dead, reading the front page no 15mm figures. No Tupi army for me then.

They are listed here...

But.. How likely that is to work who knows.

To be honest if I were to do Tupi again I'd do it using Grumpys via ERM. Cheap and cheerful, with a SOA discount. Tony Barr is a great guy to deal with too...

I bought Koreans off him about 2 weeks ago, a bespoke order and still came through within the week

Thanks

That site has some fairly recent updates on it - some as recently as May. It'd probably be worth contacting them via phone or email to check.

Whilst its a work in progress, it's at least trying to be a modern website - arguably no worse than many other manufacturers, a fair few of whom don't even offer online ordering (which would imply their websites haven't been updated since the early 1990's!)

As long as it has its own website .com it means that the author paid for it and usually those are annual contracts, so I would suspect that someone is still behind that. Checking is always the best way to know.
