    Things that annoy me

    I disable it. though sometimes I forget. It took a while to think of that stupid feature after numerous times at a traffic light where the light goes green and the car in front of me doesn't move. Now, along with thinking the driver isn't paying attention, I have to think that perhaps he has...

    Ocean/Water Scenic liner for bottom of display csse

    That looks similar to a material that one of the guys in our Delaware Scale Modelers uses on his ocean bases. It's textured a little like fine waves, like ocean waves viewed from about 1000 feet in the air, and he uses it with his 1/700 scale ships. I believe it has an adhesive backing. Now...

    Things that annoy me

    I agree about a connection between increases in communicable diseases and increased illegal immigration. I have heard no one mention this in any mainstream media stories on increases in measles, or other diseases, for that matter. And back during the previous administration, there was no word...

    Johnnybach, too, and his refurbished toy soldiers. Great work!

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    Like "Louie, Louie". Or most James Brown songs. 😁

    Old Toy Soldier Magazine

    I reached out to Norman Joplin, who started this thread back in 08. He confirmed that publication stopped when Ray passed away. The magazine is not officially dead, but apparently there are issues with the business and Ray's estate, that still aren't resolved. He doesn't know if there are...

    NFL 26-27 season

    With Super Bowl Ell-Ecks in our rear view mirror, I thought I'd start a new thread for the next season. The old thread actually wound up covering 24-25 and 25-26. We've already got trades, trade rumors, discussions about who was elected to the Hall of Fame, and who wasn't-plenty of hot-stove...

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    @Warrior , George, I just noticed you signature, I love that line! So this is for you!

    Things that I really like

    I'm fairly certain they had them first, and we inherited them when the colonists brought them with them to the New World. But yeah, I wouldn't have them for breakfast. But then, our traditional breakfast items are a bit of an exception compared to things others have. For me, it's either...

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    That's not too far off for football, college as well as NFL, on the radio, at least. During the regular season, the Eagles pregame for a 1PM kickoff starts at 10AM on their flagship station. Same thing for Penn State. Of course, there are probably tailgate parties going on at the time and those...

    Old Toy Soldier Magazine

    Good question. The owner and publisher, Ray Haradin, passed away in 2024, but I don't know if the magazine was closed as a result. Though come to think of it, I haven't received an issue in a year. I'll see what I can find out and post back. As far as back issues go, there certainly are...

    Kurt Stackhouse information please

    From Garratt's "World Encyclopedia of Model Soldiers": I had forgotten that he designed any figures, let alone that he did for Cavalier and Old Guard. That makes sense, though, since they were all local to each other in the NYC area. I have only seen Stadden figures that he painted, and I...

    Yep with a Patton figure

    Thanks, wanted to make sure, since the post doesn't mention it, and sometimes someone will post something in the wrong forum.

    Are you selling this?

    What Toy Soldier items Have You Acquired in The Last 2 Weeks ?

    No lapse in quality control. They're in Tradition's Toy Soldier style, so gloss finish but very simple detail. Tradition also has a Model Soldier catalog; those figures are based on the old Stadden custom figures, and they have a little more detail in the casting. But they're still painted to...

    Things that annoy me

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, they are childish. Immature. Overgrown adolescents, emotionally.

    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...
