Love that Gordon and I have never seen the pontoon set up close so I could try and work it. Sounds interesting though. Thanks for the infoHere are a few more shots of some of my Trophy collection on display. A Confederate artillery crew, a Boer War Pontoon Bridge set (I always loved how Len would rig these sets so if you moved the figures holding the lines, the pontoon boat would move like the real thing - he did the same thing with the sailors operating the guns on the Eagle), Gordon of Khartoum and an Ox drawn ambulance wagon.
Cool Indians, they always seem to get snatched up at the shows so I have to buy bits and pieces. Those are quite an array you have there Brad. Good jobVery impressive layout
Hawkeye, thank you! Very nice later-issue sets with scenic bases. You're right—the advancing set is relatively common, especially the first issue with the rectangular base. But the charging set is a scarce one, since anything produced toward the end of the Trophy run was made in much smaller quantities.Here are a couple shots of the Austrians sailor’s you wanted Boerboy. They were the top item on my list of Boxer series sets I wanted.
Excellent! If you have the later version of the Chinese Imperial Infantry, please post some photos. The Boxer Rebellion is an excellent range, but I always felt Len could have added a few more cool sets that he never got around to.Here are a couple more French boxer sets.
Very colorful. Deitz you need to collect this series
These are teinsten ifigures or close to it
Chinese imperial infantry
Some us army infantry
Great, scarce set. I really don’t think the base color makes much difference in this case—they both represent later sets with scenic bases and improved sculpting. The base color could vary depending on the batch and whatever paint was used that day. I’ve seen the same situation with other Trophy sets as well.Some newer French marines I got from a guy in Canada who says they have sat for over 20 years untouched. The bases look lighter than the earlier
