I'm sorry for the rather blurry pic, but just wanted to show the cabinet - it was my mom's "special china cabinet" which I appropriated for my collection.

K&C also issued matte versions of their Vietnam and Streets of Hong Kong series in the 90's. I had actually bought some of the Vietnam figures in gloss though, for a friend. (Overall, I really prefer glossy and "non-specifically posed" toy soldiers :wink2:)

Wanted to post a pic of my one display cabinet. (sorry for the quality): I'm thinking to get a small wall cabinet for the other side of the window - it would be for my Stadden and other matt figures.

Thanks for the info, Gary. I'm thinking that Trophy and K&C had similar product - until K&C started doing mat figures. Who was first?

Look, I realize that perhaps my posting onto this thread was a bit contentious.. :redface2: But that said, I am interested in getting Russian tank riders :) Did you at least like the Russian song? :wink2: Meanwhile, I do like this German song: I can relate mate; I was a tank commander :)

The War of 1812 will be the next range that I would collect. I'm particularly interested in the Battle of New Orleans. What intrigues me is the confrontation of "rag tag irregulars" (even pirates!) under General Jackson against the orderly lines of British troops advancing. And there's even a...

My father's family lived in Poland. The Germans did come to fight and conquer, but they also rounded up peoples in those conquered territories for extermination. No other government institutionalized mass murder, GENOCIDE as did the Germans: Freight trains of human cargo, millions of men women...

My favorite quote is: "there's no reality, only perception".. The story of Kholm is that the Germans held out against Russian attacks for over 100 days. I took it to mean that that and other details of the action in the OP's descriptions, was the "good" story. (I've already pointed out...

I already told them.. :cool: Look, I have models of German tanks and aircraft. German equipment was advanced, their uniforms stylish. Even their logos are great as logos. However their ideology and actions were reprehensible.

Masterfully done; museum quality. beautiful.

I hadn't thought about posting my thoughts in a separate section of the forums and realize my posting negative comments on original posts is wrong; so now we are here.. where I'm free to express my opinion fully, as are you. No matter what you say in defense or try to deflect blame by bringing...

I'm a newbie and yesterday, I hijacked a thread by attacking it believing that it glorified German actions in WW II: Battle of Kholm The Germans Survive another night to fight My post and subsequent dialogue were deleted & I was directed to this section of Forums which is more appropriate...

not nearly as good a story as that they lost their *** and the Russians got the last licks in Berlin. :tongue:

I'm just curious if in the course of your research you came across any information as to the extent of slave labor used towards the manufacturing of Nazi tanks?

.. has anyone done a good diorama of the chancellery garden; bunker entrance? ;)

"Alle sieben Sekunden stirbt in Russland ein deutscher Soldat. Stalingrad- Massengrab"

Thanks to all for your info! The Trophy figures are wonderful and now I feel up to date. :)

Until I found this website, I had never heard of Trophy despite several decades collecting Military Miniatures. The company seems to have no active website and their figures are not offered by any on-line stores that I know of. The only availability seems to be via Ebay. Are they still in...

The Russians had their songs too!
