Recently, I started collecting the civilians from the Town and Around subrange. As I wanted to shop more focused and not rely on the secondary market, I purchased a couple of figures directly from the “new” website and must say it was a very pleasant experience. Easily manageable, large...
I may not be a sophisticated and extensive collector of Imperial Productions’ figures, but I have collected them for awhile now whenever I get a chance at a show or at an auction.
This is probably as good as it gets. I would probably “dirty” up the grass tiles with debris, sand and loose leaves. That will also help cover the figure bases and seams between individual tiles.
I admire your background buildings. Who made those and are they available?
i do not know who made Jim’s Delhi Durbar background buildings, but I am pretty certain Jim made them himself as he creates many dioramas himself.
I knew there were collectors way more dedicated to the Durbar than I was, but this is on a whole different level. This is amazing. You are apparently very focused in your collective habits.
After many years, I was now able to add an anti aircraft gun to my Kampfgruppe. I like the model from Britains and the accompanying figures a lot. A really nice set. It feels like eternities since I saw the 88 the first time in a shadow box in Chicago.
Thank you for your kind words. Contemporary photos of La Gleize show a rural town with roads and squares without asphalt. I hence used cat litter as the base. It also helped absorb some of the moisture from the glue and I had no warping. And before you ask: yes, the litter was unscented.
These are very impressive displays. Mike‘s shieldwall is out of this world.
i really like how you covered the bases, Greg. Is this static grass. Why was it difficult?
Fantastic photos. I just recently noticed you are weathering the figures as well, in particular the boots.
i agree that the initial release of the Stalingrad Germans was a great entry into the hobby as a toy soldier maker.
The Russians are a little overdramatic for me. Personal taste.
Having received the two Jenkins King Tigers and planning a trip to La Gleize, I decided to create a display. Still waiting for a house facade to finish the display off, the current wall is a stand in. The battle for the last barrels of fuel has begun in December 1944.
