    Durbar / Indian Army - lots of sets for sale!

    Hi, As some of you will be aware I am spending the summer relocating my collection. Unfortunately my new display space cannot accommodate all my toy soldiers so I am very very very reluctantly selling duplicates. I have listed below details of what I currently have available. I will add photos...

    Elephant hunt set

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have all the Marlborough hunt elephants - this appears to be by a different maker.

    Trophy Hall of Fame

    Hi All, I’ve done my research and after discussion the relevant member of the forum, we concluded that my elephant was the one he had previously seen. It therefore seems the blue version is indeed a special one-off and I am pleased to withdraw its nomination for the hall of fame. Instead I would...

    Trophy Hall of Fame

    Thanks for sharing these photos Martyn. I only collected Durbar and Indian Army figures until I saw these camels. I was mesmerized by the movement captured in each of these sets, and when the sets are combined together the charge looks superb! For me these will always be amongst the best of the...

    Trophy Hall of Fame

    Hi I thought it was a special one off too but I think I recall reading on this forum that someone else had come across another. I will try to find that post (or if the person who recalls saying that I would appreciate if they can verify that they have seen another). If it transpires that it is a...

    Delhi Durbar 1903 diorama

    Hi, thank you!!! It did cost a fortune to ship plus customs duties but at that point I wanted a full collection of Durbar figures and I could not pass on the opportunity! That’s very kind of you to offer the remaining parts of your ampitheatre! I’ll send you a PM. With best wishes

    Delhi Durbar 1903 diorama

    I believe the archway you may be referring to is the Marlborough Ganesh Gate that was included in the lot comprising the entire Durbar collection from the Leuralla Toy and Railway museum? I’m the proud owner of that collection! :-) That Ganesh Gate archway looks like it is was formed of two...

    Thanks for clarifying. I assumed BPP1 – Queen Elizabeth Coronation Set was a coronation coach. Do you have photos of BPP1?

    Trophy Van Gogh figure.

    I had no idea about this figure - thanks for sharing photos! I came across a figure of Monet a couple of years ago. Not by Trophy but still thought it was wonderful to see the artist at work!

    Trophy Special Commissions

    I am grateful for those photos - very good to see the two carriages side by side. As I said, it may just be my perception of the scale or the camera angles that made me think the scale was a little off. I agree that the attention to detail in Trophy sets in general is really good. I also think...

    Thank you for sharing - I really like your gateway!!! And great diorama - so many different things going on!!! Did you use the other parts of the Britain’s Ampitheatre for any other projects?
