What is the history behind the white tunics? I've never seen Highlanders in that uniform and was wondering which campaigns they were in as presented. The curiosity is killing me. :cool:
The Zariba is moss that I purchased at Michaels Stores in the U.S.
The grey coats are the 66th Berkshires; I think the redcoats are Guards; the Camel Corps is to the left of the 66th, and the Khaki troops are Royal Sussex. There might be some Under Two Flags Seaforth Highlanders as well.
Can anyone identify these Indian troops wearing red coats, blue trousers and a brown turban? I bought them 20 years ago and I can't recall what the regiment was.
Unless dealers were holding back stock for the show on Sunday there was maybe a fair amount of Trophy stuff in the room trading zone. One dealer had a nice selection but it was mostly ones and twos in the other rooms

I just added the Strategy Table set for the AZW to my collection:

I was only there on Thursday to do some shopping and since I used up my allotted budget within an hour, I didn't see the need to return for any of the ensuing days ( plus Mrs Fritz scheduled a family event on Sunday, without telling me in advance, so that made the actual show a no-go for me).
I...
I spent several hours this morning roaming the halls of the hotel searching out various dealers and looking for treasures to buy.
I had a fairly successful time of it buying several sets of Trophy figures and a few other odds and ends. My loot includes:
Trophy Egyptian infantry for Tel El...
Yes, he is converting (with paint) some AZW heliograph team figures into Camel Corps for me.
I received some LL Zulu figures the other day and find that they fit in nicely with my Trophy Zulus.
