A simple solution to all of this is a simple contract with RP World Models. The late Bob Prati demonstrated that a revitalized factory works. He brought back Steadfast and Britains Premier from the dead. The work is well done, the moulds maintained and redone. His formula works and the 2...

ok, so it was missing the cannon I believe. Still I believe it went rather cheap. End of day, if it fit in someone's collection for the price, then it was a good deal TD

I am thankful to be spending the weekend in Chattanooga, waved goodbye to that mess this morning!! Tom

I also posted this in the my Kelly's Heroes collection thread. Anyhow, found this tonight, here is the original Doug sketch for what became the Kelly's Heroes painting. A little bit of brainstorming at an MFCA show and viola! Brought back a fond memory. Doug was a good dude and I will always...

While cleaning out some Toy Soldier show paperwork, came across this gem tonight from the late Doug Dearth. Here is the original sketch he did for me which became the Kelly's Heroes painting. It is literally on the back of his Columbia OH Gas bill!!! We were at MFCA shooting the breeze and...

If the bidding stays low, I think this is a neat set, however, pretty sure it is missing the cannon. Typically artillery sets come with cannons especially when the limber is present with artillery detail. Notice the hand rails are severely bent. There is a lot of stuff on ebay that is miss...

Unfortunately the previous show videographer is no longer on youtube, hope that guy is ok! I always liked watching the videos. I actually would shop from the US from the video with a few dealer friends over there! Tom

I tried, but they will not ship them full! I told them the vodka was a key ingredient! Tom

New Kelly Additions to the horde... Tom

I am sorry to have missed this one this year b/c I like the artist room. I enjoy the talent and it gives me ideas sometimes for commissions! I agree with Brad (Jazzeum) though on what the vendor mart used to be. It was a race to get there at Friday noon. Like every show, it needs customers...

just re read, lol, I am the proud parent................excuse the "not" Tom

Agree and thanks, the only sad thing is his work will come in contracts! SO - only 2 years to start, then it is on to somewhere else, he is already hoping next stop is Nashville. I am having him renew his license as a TN resident , so yes no tax! Best Tom

Much like Doug's post but without IMO the monumental achievement through adversity, I am also not the proud parent of a college grad with high honors. What a weekend thus far. Back to the Hotel at 4am after quite the celebratory night. What an experience. He is now off to Chattanooga TN...

I had an interesting tasting weekend. Friday - Rare JW Pepper bottle (not the one you can find, some type of Reserve). It was very "heat" oriented. Not bad, glad I am not the one who bought it! Last night enjoyed an old favorite, cracked a new bottle of Knob Creek 9 100 proof. Really a good...

Unfortunately in storage. It will be some time before that one sees daylight again. I have a bit of a mess right now going on with the collection as they say! Tom
