Gentle Friends, This thread has been fun for some and not so much fun for others. The latter portion of the discussion began to involve current political opinions and were deleted. I am closing this thread for now as most people have had the opportunity to post their thoughts regarding some...

Hi Ana, Any of the four choices are terrific! However, I tend to agree with Dave. Of the four, I would choose the Charkkhari Elephant. I cannot escape the influence of the clarity of the photo as it does an excellent job of presenting detail. In addition to the detailed photo, the portion...

Hi Harrie, I, too, am interested in adding the Hansom Cabs to my World of Dickens collection. I have checked with all my preferred dealers and, in every case, the dealers continue list the sets as "Pre-Order Only." Whatever the issue might be, I hope the sets will be available soon. Warmest...

Hi Brad, In your first photo, it is difficult to tell, but does the guidon the fellow is holding appear to be blowing in the wind? If so, I believe the guidon bearer is a single figure from Somerset Set #SL-4, the 5th Bengal Cavalry - 1897, with Lances. The complete set consists of six...

Hi Ana, That State Silver Carriage is awesome! Do you think the carriage might make it into the Beau Geste inventory at a future date? It would make a terrific and special addition to anybody's Durbar collection! Warmest personal regards, Pat :)

Hi Ana, I fully understand your situation and I want to be the first to wish you the very best of luck with your new policy. It is my hope that your dedicated Durbar fans will continue to support you to the greatest extent possible. I know it is my intent to do so. Warmest personal regards...

Gentle Friends, Isandlwana has asked a legitimate question and he has learned that if he wishes to communicate with Mitch, he may do so on another forum. Since his question has been answered, there is no need to continue this thread. I am closing the thread for now. Warmest personal regards...

Hi Julie, I want to wish you the best birthday yet! I hope you have many returns of the day. Enjoy your special day to the max! Warmest personal regrads, Pat :)

Hi Ray, In my less than expert opinion, I think the style differences are fairly dramatic and I would display them in separate boxes. Both sets are certainly worthy of being displayed, but if you display them together, the differences in style would appear more evident than if they were...

Re: Scale Comparison Photos - Various Manufacturers Gentle Friends, Julie has gone above and beyond her usual duties to post comparison photos. These photos are amazingly helpful to folks who want to know how manufacturers' scales and styles compare. Discussion of differences in scale and...

Gentle Friends, While great problems are evident in Nigeria. please be careful to not reference all the citizens of a country in negative terms. Clearly, there are Nigerian citizens who are greatly interested in extracting as much wealth as they can from unsuspecting folks, but there are many...

Gentle Friends, The recent Orlando tragedy is on everyone's mind and we each have opinions regarding the event and the political issues related to the event. However, the Treefrog Forum is not the appropriate place to discuss politics. Discussion of the politics involved in this case goes...

Gentle Friends, This thread has become entirely too "testy." I am deleting several posts, some of which include personal insults. Please take the time to think through your posts and avoid comments that refer to the character of an individual. Otherwise, the discussion might be drawn to a...

Hi Zach, My mistake. When I see figures like these, I just automatically think they are yours. ^&grin My congratulations belong to Tom! Great figures, Tom! {bravo}} Warmest personal regards, Pat :)
