    Favorite album/CD

    Would have to include most CDs by the following: Led Zeppelin The Doors The Who The Beatles The Rolling Stones U2 I have to agree with 1879 for the most part, most rap is pretty awful. I think there is some talent out there but mostly it will be some guy stealing an old beat and rapping over it...

    What is your favorite beer?

    Usually I drink what is on special at the supermarket. However from time to time I seek out some that really tickles my fancy. At the moment it is winter here so I like dark beers like Guinness or local variety Speights Old Dark. Most lighter beers taste much the same to me so I am not too fussy...

    Coldstream Guards

    Thanks for the information guys. Not a different hat just a cover for the hat! I had also wondered about the trousers too as I saw on a painting guide that they were to be grey. However that issue has been answered too.

    Coldstream Guards

    I notice in sets of both both metal and plastic Coldstream guards that some have hats with a green plume and a gold emblem while others have a simple black hat. Can anyone tell me if there is a particular meaning behind this? Are they from different units?

    When did you start collecting?

    Thanks for the welcome. I think in the next few years my collection will be moderate. A big mortgage and a first child on the way means my wife my not be exactly over the moon when some expensive non-essentials arrive in the mail. Still as you say I have a few years left.

    When did you start collecting?

    I didn't start until this year. I mean I made military models as a kid (quite badly I must add) and I had plenty of 1/72 plastic soldiers but I didn't consider this as a hobby or collecting. If anything I have always been a history fanatic and wanted to be a history teacher though it didn't end...

    Free Shipping at Treefrog

    This free shipping truly is great. In New Zealand the availability of toy soldiers is almost non-existent. In the past the only time I got something was when a friend or family was coming from overseas. I often looked at websites, even those with specials but more often than not I was put off by...
