Thank you Chris for this article but I think it raises more questions than answers. The plate describes it as an African elephant with ears painted red. But the general consensus is that these elephants were too small to carry a howdah with 3 men much less all the weight of the armor on the...

Chris, Thank you for the info and pictures relating to the elephants ears painted red. Even though they do not relate to Hannibal or the Carthaginians it is some historical evidence that some armies may have painted their elephants ears red.Personally I have never heard or seen that before so...

I see that the JJD elephants that he is releasing has the inside of the ears painted red. Supposedly he believes that Hannibal painted the elephants ears red at Zama but I cannot find anything that agrees with that. Does anyone have any information on that or can shed some light on this...

Britains just keep upping their game. Thanks for the pics. Howard

Translation to English please. Howard

These might be the best John Jenkins sculpts yet. I am curious about the material being used for the casting. If they are all metal or mixed media? Also price and date of release? Anybody have any details because I am very interested in these figures? Howard

Hello Julie, Any update on the Carthaginian army. I am very interested in this range specially the elephants. I know John likes to wet our appetite with the original sculpts but then sometimes they get shelved for a long period of time prior to release. Thanks Howard

Hello Carlos, it was good to see you again at the show and thanks for posting all those photos. I can look back and see all the stuff I would have liked to buy but l just have to restrain myself because I can’t collect everything I would like to. Also It was good to meet “John from Texas” as he...

I forgot to mention kudos for putting in the wheelchair lift. I did not see it in original pictures. Thanks Howard

Hello Amber, Thank you for your gracious reply. I was thinking that even if you had a small presence there where you could promote your new location and pass out your current brochures it would help the show. We all know that you are one of the heavy hitters in the hobby and it could bring more...

Hello Amber, I was just wondering why you don’t buy a table at the Texas Toy Soldier Show and everyone can see your beautiful displays there among like minded customers. It seems like a small expense for a show in your own backyard. There must still be some bad blood between K&C and the Menger...

Wow, what a collection. I know it’s a problem to save the original boxes because they take up so much room but without them it makes it very hard to ship without damage. Good luck with your sale and I enjoyed your pics. Howard

They make very realistic silhouettes, very interesting. But I would not let them catch too many rays for fear of fading. The slightest amount of fading could be noticeable.:cool::cool: Howard

Wayne, I just bought the movie Tobruk in BluRay and watched it last night. I think I see Rock Hudson in your dio. Well done mate. Howard

Great review, wish I could have been there. Maybe some of the vendors will make it to the Texas Toy Soldier Show so they can take home some of my money. I am jealous of all the toy soldier shows they have in the northeast. If we had that many I would have to get a bigger house. Thanks again...

That is a great idea but what would you use for a base material? It would have to be flexible enough to roll up but durable enough not to crack or delaminate. Any suggestions? Howard

Does anyone know for sure if the Carthaginian elephants had howdahs, fight riding bareback or both? I have seen sculpted both ways but wonder which is correct. Some have said that the North African Elephant was too small to carry a howdah. Does anyone care to discuss this issue. Howard

Hello Erika, Will there be a dinner and guest speaker this year? Also show figure if so? Howard

Beautiful diorama but you might consider adding a few casualty figures. Britains makes a great casualty set for the 44th. Thanks for the posting and pictures. Howard
