Am not certain where Hermano Bebe Que La Vida es Breve is geographically located, however duly impressed by your obviously frequent and protracted participation in the forum. Would suggest however that my comment about the SEATO Treaty reflects IMO only the tip of the iceberg in Burn's agenda...

Find it extremely curious that neither in the television presentation, or the book, that Ken Burns completely omits mention of the SEATO (South East Asia Treaty Organization) Treaty and Accords, which specifically obligated signatories to come to the defense of other signatories who were...

Hello again Moe, A final addendum with remaining images of Gordon Highlander. Hopefully no duplicates. Trust the effort is appreciated. Arnhem Jim Arizona Territory

Hello Moe, Two caveats; first am not a professional photographer, second this forum imposes some rigorous upload memory limitations on images. I may have to take some time complying with the memory issue, bear with me. And as anticipated will be another royal pain in the arse, and am limited to...

I don't have an answer, you tell me. Movies are one form of entertainment, and I believe "toy soldiers" another. Arnhem Jim

Believe a healthy dose of honesty and candor are needed regarding the following subject. Hate the PC term “transparency”, sounds like “Cellophane Man” from the musical and movie “Chicago”. For those who may find it too cerebral, and/or inconsistent with the objective of “toy soldiers" being a...

Given Mirof's knowledge and providing that information, please disregard my request. Sincere thanks Mirof, intriguing data. Obviously another article would be redundant and unnecessary. Regards, Arnhem Jim

Hello redee, I would like to ask your permission to use the images of your Ohlsson sets, with attribution and acknowledgement, on my Blog page, as they are both old, in remarkable condition, and semi-unique. I'm certain you have also noticed that their base design is unique, and may well have...

hello redee, Hopefully this will be better. To manipulate images on this forum is a MAJOR CHALLENGE, to put it mildly. I reviewed the edited page (abbreviated to only facts about Ohlsson) and it should be at least legible. Arnhem Jim

Hello redee, Have a reasonable reference library, including some older books. Included are; LEAD SOLDIERS AND FIGURINES – The World in Miniatures, Baldet, Marcel, Crown Publishers, New York, NY, 1961 (No ISBN). COLLECTING OLD TOY SOLDIERS, McKenzie, I., Batsford Ltd, London, 1975, ISBN...

Steve, No offense. None whatsoever. As a life long vintage Britains collector (they are thinning ranks like the hair on my head) very much enjoyed the photo. Just thought I could place it in accurate historic context. Depending upon your particular interests, you may enjoy seeing the gun among...

Let’s inject a cold splash of reality. The guns seen in the photograph are one of W. Britains Ltd classic’s; Set No. 1264 - 4.7 in Naval Gun (Mounted for Field Operations). They are the second version of the gun introduced in 1934 , the original version being offered by the company sometime...

Apologies. Somehow the settings format style on my computer was modified (probable operator error) from the default settings format. Thanks for the guidance in correcting the situation. Now "back in battery". Arnhem Jim

To whom it may concern, Personally find the Internet a wonderful tool, having my own reasonably successful blog page. However, in my personal opinion, am finding the use of this forum's new architecture increasingly stressful. Can't seem to get subject, time, place, in consistent context. Will...

Returning more to the original intended theme of this thread, has anyone ever tried to identify this seemingly female member of the Waffen-SS (Auxiliary?) in this photograph showing a Warrant Officer of the British 1st Airborne Division (Dave Morris, 11th Para Bn) being questioned after being...

Gentlemen (sammy and jazzeum), My apologies for any inferences, as none were intended. My only observation is that it is a lot more challenging and expensive to buy toy soldiers with the primary objective of incorporating them into dioramas, than merely displaying them in simple coordinated...

May I be so bold as to reiterate my original thought; "It may by many be deemed heresy, but I will be emphatic. Collecting “toy soldiers” is no longer the collection of toy soldiers! It has become the collection of military miniature figures, armored fighting vehicles/transport, aircraft, other...

It may by many be deemed heresy, but I will be emphatic. Collecting “toy soldiers” is no longer the collection of toy soldiers! It has become the collection of military miniature figures, armored fighting vehicles/transport, aircraft, other ancillary equipment ((all of varying scale...
