Here is some Scots/Irish trivia. It turns out the latest DID collectible model figure is based upon a movie figure. The movie is called CROSS OF IRON and it originated from a book of the same name.
Below is a picture of the “Kurt Steiner” model figure.
Guess what? The movie actor who played the lead figure was called James Coburn and he is of Scots/Irish descent.

Apparently the movie was a big success in Germany! I remember reading the book years ago. It was a book which seemed to be very popular with Loyalists, just like the SVEN HASSEL books which were very popular during the same era.
ps If you are thinking of buying the model soldier, check ebay first. Sometimes it is possible to get them cheaper there, sometimes Chinese sources are selling them cheaper.
2 Tim 2;3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
