Added a recently completed samurai to my collection of 6 oriental pieces.

Those figures look great on the stands you are using, very 'Oriental'

well done,

My friend Kenneth is now exploring more quirky themes, ie non-historical. This is his latest - a grim grinning skeleton leaning on his own tombstone with a crow perched on his shoulder.

He sent me more pics of the same piece.

I rearranged my "tudor period" shelf with many figures.

I rearranged and cleaned up more sections. The show pieces are on the upper shelves at eye level. The incomplete pieces are at the lower shelves.

The tudor period is more or less done. Louis XIV and Louis XV/Seven years war has been grouped into two shelves. Some overlaps are inevitable here due to the size and height of some pieces.

The Napoleonic section has been rearranged slightly.

The colonial/ACW has been grouped together. There are some overlaps with the interwar and WW1 periods.

Looks like you are getting them ready for 'inspection'

John and Pauline came over to my place to inspect the troops. All were standing to attention and didnt dare to move. We had a great time together and shared some stories. I certainly came away with a few ideas for further exploration.

They are now traipsing all over Vietnam. Safe and enjoyable travelling!

I finally changed all the lighting in my display cabinets, substituting in T5 LED lights for the previous halogen bulbs. Much Brighter now and with potential cost savings as well.

Makes me want to redo the displays again.

Victor, what an attractive display you have. I'm currently in the process of redoing my displays, at one stage I used Two large builtin cabinets but their depth of 600 mm caused a lot of shadows at the back of the shelves, now I'm thinking about adding some led lights like yours.
