Outstanding Dio and Pics-and an interesting historical topic that gets very little discussion.

What a great surprise!

Who is the maker of these wonderful figures.

The diorama is outstanding

You've been holding out on us.

Hello Martyn,

What an unexpected surprise !!

Nevertheless, a very impressive display of great figures.

Do I see matte figures?.....

I suspect we have yet to see the full strength of your forces.

Can we have a pic of your best Havannas?

Best, Raymond.

Many thanks Mike, Randy and Raymond glad you all liked the pictures

The figures are all King and Country along with the Kettle Hill trenches.

Cheers

It is a great set and I had it one time - traded it away for more NAPOLEONICS !

Very nice collection - it is very valuable - especially the Trench Works !

Very very nice dio and on a subject we don't often see or talk about here on the forum. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you Mike and Ron, glad you like it.

I had seen the Sam Elliott, Tom Berenger "Rough Riders" Mini series only a couple of weeks before I saw the King and Country set and I had to buy it straight away.

Cheers

Agreed

Ah, tricky

From what I can find out he had a horse called Little Texas, pony called Algonquin and another pony called Fedelity

Not sure it Little Texas went up Kettle Hill with him though

Great setup! This period is not mentioned much great to see a diorama with Rough Riders.

Nice setup there. I have practically all the K & C Rough Riders (including the glossy ones) but I am missing the base. It's one of my favorite ranges.

I am a new member of this forum and usually just like to read the posts. Turn of the century is one of my favorite periods and I wish I was collecting when the Span-Am figures were out. I would like to see the Boxer Rebellion done with all the allied troops.
The diorama is well done!

Hi DCN1898

Many thanks and I wish I had invested in Trophy Boxer Rebellion sets when they were freely available
