    Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!

    I would add his original "The Producers" to the list of his great movies. And his remake of "To Be or Not To Be" was good, as was "High Anxiety" as a spoof of Hitchcock's movies. But yeah, in some of his other movies, the humor just declines into broad ethnic and dick jokes. I think "Spaceballs"...

    Stadden Figures

    Another person who may have an idea, especially regarding the horses, is Martin Tabony. Maybe he'll post. Prost! Brad

    Which Producer is it? German Death Head Husars

    Take a look in the other thread you created for these figures. There are responses and more information there.

    Stadden Figures

    Maybe Tom, @tdubel, will see this and post. These are figures he sold about a week, 10 days ago, on eBay. I saw his auction and reached out to ask this very question. He said they are Stadden. I'd never seen mounted Staddens with bases like these, but apparently they were available as a...

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    I fully expected the Bills do just that. I thought, here we are, another Eagles game that was really two different games, and they're gonna blow their lead and lose the game. I couldn't believe it when they went for 2. The odds were so much more in the Bills' favor, had they gone for overtime...

    New Imperial Miniatures / Dorset Model Soldiers Website

    I was surprised to see StudioParisArt, er, ah, "The Major" back again. He'd been quiet for a while. Prost! Brad

    Medallion Miniatures St Petersburg Russia

    Brad, do you remember the model of Catherine the Great's state coach? Jim Hillestad had it out at our show many years ago, maybe 25 years ago. It was exquisite! Was that from Medallion, too? Prost! Brad

    Coulda been worse. Coulda been more like Sandusky than like Belichick. Prost! Brad

    Things that annoy me

    Not the planet, Tom, but the West, including our society. And I don't think they're stupid. They're immature, childish, stuck in an emotional adolescence. Inconsiderate in the literal sense of the word-they don't think. They don't think about how what they do impacts others around them, only...

    Weathertainment. Not neutral reporting on the weather, but hysteria to get clicks/ratings.

    The American Revolution by Ken Burns

    Dammit, Burns, General Riedesel's name is not "ree-DAYZEL", it's "reed-ayzel", even stress on both syllables!!! No one ever gets that right.

    Things that annoy me

    Or drivers who make the right turn from the left lane. Apparently, depending on where you live, that move is named for the neighboring state. For example, in Kentucky, I think it is, some call that a Tennessee Turn. Though here in the Delaware Valley, I've heard people from either PA or Jersey...

    The American Revolution by Ken Burns

    The comments you all have posted cover all the reasons why I choose not to watch this series. I'm not a fan of Burns. "The Civil War" was a great documentary, groundbreaking, and it set the standard for documentaries that followed, like "The American Revolution" and "Liberty!" "Baseball"...

    Is this a Britains piece?

    I have to take back my tentative ID of the figure in the slouch hat. The Schutztruppe hat had the right-hand brim turned up, not the left. Prost! Brad

    Is this a Britains piece?

    Yeah, there were a number of kit makers, and some figure makers, who made Schutztruppe figures. Monarch made kits, and I think Valiant did, too. And now that I think of it, Pickelhaube Miniatures made finished figures in his catalog. It's hard to tell, but it might be a Pickelhaube mounted...

    London Toy Soldier Show December 6th, 2025

    This was posted in the General Matte forum, but it's probably more relevant in this thread: https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/threads/treefrog-id.85097/ We talked about this years ago, too. I made my own badge in Word by printing the logo and using an Avery badge. Prost! Brad
