Jack,
we will have to meet at the show.
Konrad

Konrad

The list is going to be extensive. I understand you are coming to my neck of the woods. I am in Schaumburg area about 10 minutes north of the show. Let me see what I can get together. I like John Eden sets. I buy them from a very reputable dealer in the city Bart Bryerton at Bryerton's military minatures.

Jack

Hi John,
I did not get a private message from you. Don't know why, since I did receive a few from other members in the last days.
Will sure keep an eye up for the Infantry Regiments book in the future.
Konrad

Hi Konrad - I'm not sure if my reply was sent as I got a strange message up when trying to reply to your note - so will do it again re - Richard Simkin.

Glad you like the books featuring this great Victorian artist. There is another book - very like the Cavalry Regiment one - for the Infantry Regiments, written by Bill Carman too. It's full title is:

"Richard Simkin's Uniforms of the British Army; the Infantry Regiments" by W Y Carman (1985).
I can thooroughly recommend that one too - as I am using it for my current project on the Gordon Highlanders. Glad you liked them as much as I do. johnnybach.

Thank you, Victor,
the croquet set is very nice and I'm glad to have it.
Konrad

Hi Konrad,

Just saw that you acquired a John Eden croquet set as well. Your selection is impeccable. Rgds Victor

Hi Rick,
yes, that's me. Good to see you around.
Hope you enjoy the company here.
Konrad

Konrad,

Are you the Konrad from kentucky that I purchased figures from at the Indy Toy Soldier Show this last year?

Rick A. Gates

Happy Birthday Konrad. John

Hi Konrad , thanks for the comparison pictures they have really helped me make my mind up about getting some of these great looking tradition sets now ive got to make up my mind which ones im goner get lol

Cheers Craig.

Hi Craig,
thanks for your comments and I will post some comparison pictures for you, where you can see how the Britains FIW Artillery Set goes together with the one from Tradition painted by Jeff.
Konrad

Hey Konrad really enjoyed browsing through your new photo album some real nice sets you have there, both Jeff & John have some real talent.

I especially liked the british artillery set from the FIW, i know you have some britains redcoats from that era aswell? How well does the Tradition models go with the redcoats i would love to see some photos of them displayed together if you ever get the chance.

Craig.

Thank you, Jeff,
I will get back with you a.s.a.p. about some French Troops for my FIW collection.
Konrad

Konrad,

I have just realised that you have some new albums

First of all thank you for the positive comments regarding the finish of the painted sets I did for you.

I like your other album, I take it you are now just a glossy collector?

Let me know which FIW French you need.

Regards

Jeff

Hi Marcus,
I got your mail and replied this night.

Hi Konrad - very nice new pics ofyour WBritains ! Hast Du meine email Antwort bekommen ? Marcus

Hi Scott,
thanks for stopping. Things are going well but do have to work with a very limited budget. But then again, if one can buy some "Toy Soldiers" here and then it can't be too bad, can it
Konrad

Hi Konrad,

Hope all is well with you, the new photos of your Britains collection are amazing. Thanks for sharing them!!!


Scott

Hallo Konrad - das ist ja cool, Du bist auch Deutscher ! Kommst Du mal gelegentlich wieder nach Old Germany ? Ich finde, du hast wirklich einzigartig schöne Figuren in Deiner Sammlung - echte Unikate. Das habe ich nur bei meiner Flachfigurensammlung, bei den Vollplastischen konzentriere ich mich auf fertig bemalte von K&C, First Legion, Figarti, Tradition und Honourbound. Derzeit suche ich noch etwas von W.Hocker und Kingcast. Beste Gruesse Marcus

Hallo Marcus,
besten Dank fuer dein Lob. Es ist mir ein Vergnuegen mal mit einem deutschen Sammler zu kommunizieren. Ich bin selbst Deutscher, lebe aber seit 1995 hier in den USA.
Wenn ich es richtig erinnere habe ich bei deinen "postings" eine imposante Sammlung gesehen. Werde das nochmal unter die Lupe nehmen.
Bis spaeter und alles Gute!
Konrad
