Hi Louis, Many Happy Returns on your Birthday. Hope you have a very special day. All the Best, Raymond. :)

This is terrible news. His passing is a great loss to the forum. My deepest sympathies and condolences to his family. Joe "The Lt." was the catalyst to my joining this forum exactly 5 years ago this day. His thread "Trophy of Wales" was my "bible" reference for the AZW. Raymond.

Here is another reference: www.rorkesdriftvc.com The link below is for the map of Rorke's Drift that belonged to Lt. John Chard, R.E., Officer in Command, Rorke's Drift Garrison on 22 to 23 January 1879. http://www.rorkesdriftvc.com/battle/chard_map.htm Hope that helps. Raymond.:)

Hello Al, Many thanks for showing some very interesting and unique Trophy pieces. I have never seen the Trophy gilt pieces before. There can't be too many of the sandbag wall and sandwich man out there. Best Wishes, Raymond.:)

A big thank you to Jeff, Martyn, Simon, Andy and Gazza for a very enjoyable photo-report of the recent December edition of the London Toy Soldier Show. Your time and effort in very much appreciated. It is easier to enjoy a "virtual show" with the majority of photographs in one thread. There...

Many thanks to UKReb for posting the very interesting photographs. Also, thanks to John (Obee) for the link to the nice article in the local press. My heartiest congratulations to Northgate Woods - Howard and his dear wife Jenny on the Grand Opening of "The Toy Soldier Experience Donnybrook"...

Hi Konrad, Congratulations on your magnificent "Game of Croquet" display. This a wonderful addition to your British Empire collection. It is truly a masterpiece as you said in your kind message. I stand in awe at this brilliant composition by John Firth, who with you keeps the glossy miniature...

Brad, Thanks very much for posting the nice pictures of WS022. It is a classic K&C set, as has been said. Raymond.

Duke, Brad (jazzeum) mentioned WS022 in an earlier post. I had to look this set up on http://www.toysoldiersusa.com/. It is a German Staff Car set with Rommel plus 2 figures. I can't recall seeing any photographs of this set on the forum. Raymond.

Hi Duke, Great pictures of the AK sets with Rommel. I like the commanding pose of Rommel in the Horch set, befitting his rank and appointment. WS034 is another Afika Korps Rommel figure. On approximate count, I think K&C has done more renditions of Rommel than any other personality figure (I...

Hi Gary, Yes, I enjoyed viewing the photographs of the interesting displays at the Jim Hillestad's Toy Soldier Museum. There is a good mix of military and civilian themes. I recall the photographs of your visit to Len Taylor's Trophy workshop in Wales back in circa 1995, but not for your museum...

Hi Mike, My apologies for arriving at your post late. Thanks very much for kindly posting my photographs. I think I should have done it as a gesture of thanks and appreciation for your time and effort in making this new acquisition possible. The sets and figures arrived in pristine condition...

Brad, I have no immediate plans for a trip to the US as yet. However, I would like to add the Toy Soldier Museum in Cresco, PA to any future itinerary for sure. It would be good to time my visit so as to maximise the toy soldier experience in relation to shows, museum visits etc. From the...

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread viewing the pictures posted by REVWARBUFF and Brad (jazzeum). Thanks very much. The variety of displays is nothing short of spectacular. I get the overall impression of a nice blend of eclectic themes. The presence of civilian/town and country type displays...

There is a blue among the greys..... ^&confuse The CW100 "15th Alabama Flagbearer" picture appears to be that of CW096 "Biting The Cartridge" Raymond.

Re: French retailer in Paris more pictures The King & Country XM005-01 "Santa in Jeep" is a really nice set. I shall write to Santa Claus and ask him if he can help me get this set. ^&grin:tongue: Raymond. {sm4}
