I rarely weigh in on this for a variety of reasons, but I feel like things are sufficiently calm right now for me to say a few words without appearing to dive into a brawl. I began collecting toy soldiers at a very young age with a couple of cheap Britains ceremonial figures I found at a train...

As you can see, there are a few other makers mixed in. My plan is to add to it until I have a full battery, then make a proper diorama base for it.

It's been a while since I posted here, but I thought I would share a few marginal pictures of my collection as I work on my next diorama. Note that the 71st Highlanders are only on their current shelf temporarily; long-term, I plan to add them to my Hougoumont diorama.

On its way to the front, the Emperor's berlin catches a group of merry soldiers by surprise. One drummer boy manages to raise a salute just in time. Sandor

It’s been a while since I posted, as I have been quite busy with my graduate studies and Guard activities. I am currently working on this village diorama, which will include a rode and a dry riverbed. It will house my collection of Ready4Action British Mandate and 1948-1949 figures, of which I...

I have spent a fair amount of time hanging around West Point, and got to spend a few hours kicking it with some of the bandsmen.

The only K&C modern series I collect is the the Israeli stuff, but I would definitely buy a damaged Israeli or Jordanian/Syrian/Egyptian piece of armor.

Stunning! I particularly love the head and legs. Sandor

It looks great! Sandor

It's looking fantastic!

Can we submit figures from any era? I would love to see some WW1 Austro-Hungarian stuff.

It looks fantastic! This is shaping up to be your best work yet!

Victor — I should add that I have been to the scene of this painting in Jaffa. It’s in a monastery right on the sea wall.

This is one of my all-time favorite dioramas on Treefrog. Can't wait to see it as it nears completion! Sandor

I love the photograph! I can't wait to get mine, which are part of what must be a two year order that is nearing completion.

My dad had a sizable amount of vintage toys, so I got to play with these when I was a kid! I still have a few boxes.
