"Military modelling sculptor and figure artist Aidan Campbell has entered the model railway market with a selection of finely sculpted figures cast in white metal...The sculpting has achieved a good level of detail with facial features well defined and details of hats, collars, buttons and pockets clear and sharp enough to reward a good painting job."

Model Rail, February 2003

"Highly detailed and well proportioned the figures are reasonably
priced given their undoubted class. Aidan Campbell's broad range of
subjects and time scales is impressive with a figure for nearly every situation.
When carefully painted these add that little bit of individuality
and extra detail to your layout."
FOR - Detail, reasonable price.
AGAINST - Nothing.
