Bob Walker held his 4th Annual Open House this past week end in San Jose, California (just south of San Francisco). Although he was not able to be there due to a family medical emergency, the event was a success, as usual, with more than 40 attendees by noon on Sunday when I had to leave to drive back to Southern California. Bob has a very large collection of about 15,000 figures (plus 5,000 more in Southern California), but one has to see it in the context of how it is displayed in a beautiful Victorian house to really appreciate it. If your toy soldier taste runs in the area of realistic, matte finished figures in World War II dioramas, you may not like Bob's collection, because it is very different from that sort of thing.
I was not sure where to start this thread since his collection really is much more than a series of dioraramas, but this will do. I hope the photos are not too small to see well, because I really had to reduce them down in size to meet the Forum 97.7 kb size limitation.
