Thank you for sharing those photos and the information about the coronation sets! I like the variation between the robes and the king with and without his hat! I noticed in the photos that I previously saw, and again in the photos you shared, that: 1) the scale of the attendants and riders...

That is a great set! Thank you for sharing. I once came across a coronation coach which was marketed as Trophy but because I could not find any photos anywhere else of a coronation coach by Trophy I decided against buying it. If anyone has more photos or information about a Trophy coronation...

Thank you for your message, I always thought the thinner tin fans were earlier prototypes so it’s good to know the reason for the change.

Wow!!!! Thanks for sharing information about these wonderful special commissions! I think I recall reading on this forum that Len may have made or have offered to make special commissions of collectors for them to display in their own collections. Does anyone know more about these special...

Thank you. I purchased it in 2019 and it was from the collection of the late Sam Floca. I had only ever seen the red version of this elephant before I found this one. The fan bearers that came with this set are also different to the fan bearers that come with the standard red version. The fans...

Hi All, I believe this blue version of the Trophy elephant from the Raj collection may also have been a special commission.

Thanks for sharing the photos of the crews on these boats Louis, I’m hoping someone can confirm if the Little Legion dhows came with crews too. Fortunately over the years I acquired a couple of sets of crews for the Trophy Dhow (not sure whether the sets were separated from their original dhows...

Thank you! Wow the crew looks great! Did these come with the dhow or did you add these yourself?

Hi. Thanks for sharing photos of your amazing displays. I have the Trophy Arabian Dhow and recently came across some dhows made by First Legion. Photos attached. One is large and the other is small. The larger dhow is similar to the Trophy version. Does anyone have these? Do you know if these...

One of my favorites too!!!

Thanks for the likes and kind messages! The diorama was inspired by the following video of the 1903 Durbar which shows the elephant procession passing in front of a row of pavilions. The moving display is on a conveyor belt. The total length is 1.8 meters so the full length of the procession...

Thank you for sharing. That’s a great collection of WM Hocker figures! WM Hocker made some excellent Delhi Durbar sets. Here’s a video of my Durbar diorama featuring two WM Hocker elephants at the end of the video. Best wishes, TheDurbarMan

Hi All I have always admired the dioramas posted by fellow collectors in this thread. I have created a special diorama of my Delhi Durbar figures which I hope you all will enjoy. Please see link below. Best wishes TheDurbarMan

Hi All After nearly 30 years of collecting I finally realized my dream to bring the Delhi Durbar 1903 to life! Please have a look at the video of my new Durbar diorama! Best wishes TheDurbarMan

Thanks you for sharing that information Martyn, my six camel version also had set PW8 written on the box.

Just wanted to add the 6 camel set I acquired was advertised as “The Pride of Bikaner’s Army”. I believe the 4 camel set may have been sold to me as Hyderabad Camel Artillery. Not sure which if either is correct!
