I have been working on my photography skills and this is what I have been able to produce. I took a lot of inspiration from Martyn, the Lt, and Randy. Thanks guys! Here it goes, playing with my Trophy: Sgt. MacChesney and Annie from Gunga Din An Egyptian Gun emplacement at Tel el-Kebir Gordons...

They look Great. I would like to see the Heliograph set done as Royal Engineers though. Not enough toy soldier makers do Royal Engineers. Sam

Strategy in the desert is the one that I have always wanted but could never find!

Martyn, I was looking over these old posts and I realized that I have one of the plastic Britains elephants. Here it is next to the Trophy Elephants (unfortunately I broke the tusks when I was a wee lad). They do look quite similar though this chap has his trunk up. Cheers, Sam

Here are some pictures of the Trophy catalogs I found. I didn't know that trophy made sets as Cameronians. Does anyone have any Trophy Cameronians?

Was cleaning my room today (for the first time ever) and found some old catalogs with a lot of Trophy in them. I'll try to get some pictures of them. Sam

Can't wait to see them massed with bands and all!

Great Highlanders Martyn! I especially like the ASH. I didn't know you could get these sets done up as Argylls, as the 93rd didn't serve in Egypt or the Sudan. They were, however, stationed in Cape Town in 1885, and judging from the pictures they were still in their red tunics. Cheers, Sam

I used to make Hackensack and Valley Forge every year, before I left the east coast for college. Hopefully I'll get to hit them the next time around. (Having only ever been to those two, I didn't know Hackensack was considered large haha) Cheers, Sam

Excuse my ignorance, but I often can't keep up with the abbreviations (my own fault for being a newbie). What is the MFCA Show? Cheers, Sam (p.s. Does anyone get around to the East Coast Toy Soldier Show in Hackensack NJ? It's small, but sometimes Trophy pops up)

They should do British Victorian reenacting then, so they can where kilts all the time! Sam

I love your Wm Hocker pictures Polar Bear. It has been a long time since I have actively collected toy soldiers, but I am looking to start up again. I was planning on going strait into Little Legion, but your pictures of the North West Frontier sets are making this decision difficult for me...

Thanks to everyone for further questions and answers. Being a yank I'll probably try going through Toy Soldier Shoppe first ~drools when thinking about camel corps~ Cheers, Sam

This is probably a matter of opinion, but being in the states, should I contact Paul Herrmann of the Toy Soldier Shoppe for LL, or should I go right to Mike Norris in Wales? Thanks, Sam

Thanks Damian. My dad and I worked on this one together. He always wanted trophy to make a few more cavalry regiments to throw in there

Martyn, your photos are making things difficult for me. I want to start getting some LL, but I don't know where to begin! Sam

Nice figures! I'm intrigued about these Royal Marines. Did you get any pictures? I'm looking to get into the LL Sudan series Cheers, Sam
