Trophy WW1 (4 Viewers)

[HAWKEYE]

Here are the pages from the MKL Catalogue. Only two pages, sorry. I also checked the Trophy catalogue I have; no WWI.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED THIS, THANKS FOR POPSTING THIS BRAD AS THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL FOR MY JOURNEY TO COMPLETE THIS LINE

 

[HAWKEYE]

There were a couple of great Trophy WWI sets with very reasonable buy-it-nows that sold the past couple of days on eBay, a Searchlight truck for $350 and the "Everything Stops for Tea" howitzer set for $375. They sold before I could post a public service announcement on this thread. Did anyone grab them?

HI LOUIS, ARE YOU STILL INTERESTED IN A SET OF THE TURKISH FIRING LINE? TEXT ME OR MESSAGE ME

No, thank you anyway. I have two Turkish Firing Line sets. The only Turkish sets I still need are:

GA17 Mountain Mule Gun Battery of the Escort
GA20 Ottoman Turkish Cavalry Standard Bearer

Wish I could afford $1,000 for a single figure but I just can't. I'll have to hope to find one of the other 11.

I don’t blame you, I really don’t want to sell it and with over 50 WW1 sets I have decided to go down that rabbit hole and collect the whole line

 

[Louis Badolato]

Just a reminder: To complete my Trophy WWI collection, I need to find GW51 the Russian Supply Wagon, GWEQ81 the Motorized Ambulance, GA17 Mountain Mule Gun Battery of the Escort and GA20 Ottoman Turkish Cavalry Standard Bearer. Any help locating these figures would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Martyn! I have the same Steam Tractor pulling a 4.7 Naval Gun as well, and I have seen a third variant pulling a portable wood cutting machine in an auction some years back. Our good friend Tom (TDubel) told me Len sold the Tractor a number of different ways, pretty much whatever the customer requested. I wonder if Jim Hillestad has any literature on the steam tractors . . .

I think this is a photograph of the Steam Tractor pulling the wood cutting machine:

I can see the photo fine. No need to redo.

I prepared a complete list of Trophy WWI Regular and Special sets based on the catalogs and Trophy complete WWI Price list provided for me by our old friend Tommy (who before he sold his collection had all but 2 Trophy WWI sets, the Ambulance and Russian Supply Wagon) with photographs from my collection. There are a few sets where I have the boxes, but don't know what the figures look like, so I grouped 3-4 similar sets and gave a photo of all of the similar sets together. The 4 sets I don't have (three with photos) are grouped together a the end of the list. I am going to post the list in the order it appears in the catalogue Tommy gave me, except that the special sets and the ones I don't own are grouped at the end.
