As mentioned in another thread these photos are from my collection sold at the Old Toy Soldier Auctions USA in 2009 and/or appeared on my informational web site realtoysoldiers.com as well as sets acquired during the last 3-4 years and some I’ve had since forever. I will be gradually adding...

Massie's book on Catherine the Great, just reread Patrick French's Younghusband.

Thanks for the compliment, JPB. For you pre-1966 lead Britains enthusiasts, I plan to gradually post many photos of sets and figures from the collection I sold off in 2009 at Old Toy Soldier Auctions USA. I'll post these in the Dioramas and Collections section of this forum. Some of these...

Haven't been on this forum for awhile but still occasionally collect. Here's some prewar Britains sets I recently acquired(except #216-2 months ago): Set 92 Set 1436 Set 1437 Set 141 Set 216

Just finished reading the above Heydrich biography-very good!

Great thread!(some of the above posts have jarred my memory-so have copied and pasted). Here's my list: Valley Forge Bull Run Harper's Ferry Antietam Gettysburg Richmond New Ulm, MN(Sioux uprising of '62-great-great granddad's house literally stood on the the front lines, was ransacked...

A revised hard cover edition of Regiments of All Nations(ROAN)by Joe Wallis is now available. According to the book’s flyer/order form I just received, the latest edition of this classic and definitive history of Britains Ltd. lead soldiers between 1946-66 has “all color photographs”. It...

What the area looks like today from space...... http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Burari+road+Nirankari+Sarovar+delhi+india&hl=en&ll=28.725593,77.200112&spn=0.025817,0.041027&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=47.435825,84.023438&vpsrc=6&hnear=Nirankari+Rd,+New+Delhi,+Delhi,+India&t=h&z=15

Agree. FYI: for an idea of the environs around the Durbar site there is a really great site with many prints, photos, & maps of old Delhi maintained by Prof. Frances Pritchett of Columbia University. Here is a link to a map of Delhi circa 1893(not really too much changed from 1877). In the...

My sister served in Tonga and afterwards was a Peace Corps recruiter out of the L.A. office. I went through the application process, was accepted and offered a position in Kenya but turned it down(about the dumbest thing I've ever done)so never heard from them again. The essay must have been...

Like the Churchill quote below.

Feel the same about the Jets-Raiders game. Just now coming out of a deep funk.

Don’t think that would be appropriate on my part. Who am I-who just joined up-to go around telling fellow reenactor’s what is historically accurate or not-or give unsolicited grooming advice?(it would be akin to me, say, giving advice about or discussing aspects of old lead Britains figures on...

A reenactor’s section would be great. I recently joined a Civil War reenactor unit. And am really looking forward to being at the Gettysburg 150th . Below-photos from this last weekend’s annual CW re-enactment held at Estacada Oregon. Irish Brigade troops: Rebels advance: Union line:

No one I've met out here(Portland, OR)is a big Jets fan-like me. Unfortunately, don't have cable so have to watch a lot of Seahawks games(z-z-z-z-z).
