Hi Pat, It's good that you weighed in. Basically this thread is a glossy/traditional toy soldier love fest, and that's good :). My impression, in reading your comments, is that your choices are predicated on the Delhi Durbar. Also, I'm surprised to see Britain has few votes. Of course, the...

I'm not so sure about my previous comment now. I just went to the BBC News and watched an interview about this. If I were a French player, I'd sure hate to be showing up for the World Cup Tournament.

This is a good thread for my tastes. When I looked at the choices I realised that I liked most of them. Liked them enough to buy them. a) I like Bill Hocker’s toy soldiers. With these it goes beyond the individual figures. The presentation of his themes (Boer War, Wild West etc.), the...

I did not see the game or the video clip. If it happened as most of you are saying, it's wrong. Having said that every Sunday I see NFL players get away with clear cheating (those slow motion replays help a lot). I've never seen a player run up to the referee saying his touchdown should be...

Very nice Randy. Thanks for the photo. But, I think, you'll be needing reinforcements to take Khartoum :). If they arrive for Christmas, it should be good.

Hi Warrior, You wrote, What have the Jets ever done to you, take away your season tickets? :eek::D PS I'm happy for Cinncinati. They've got two good football teams this year. I'm thinking of their university team. But I find them so hard to look at with their Halloween uniforms.

Interesting and fun to compare the engraving and the old black & white photo.

But thank you is not enough. When I look at this young man ... nothing is enough. In some way, it's beyond me.

Amen Rob. My words will never come close to expressing the gratitude I feel to all the dead and injured who have fought with honour and with the good cause in their heart. Sometimes strangely against one another.

Scott gave a good description of poutine. Still a photo ought to help. You can also check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine If you keep eating poutine after you're fifty you're courting disaster as in a heart attack of some kind. Now Evzone I find that lumberjack thing is so...

Oh my God. It's beautiful. I want one :eek:

So we're making fun of Canadians eh. Careful if we get upset we'll take our puck and go home. Just so you know. A generic Canadian plays hockey, has no front teeth, eats Tim Horton doughnuts and drinks Tim Horton coffee. He also eats poutine especially if he's from Quebec. He either loves or...

Thanks Mike. You're getting me in the diorama mood :).

Terry, Now I know why you're a Major and I'm a lowly Sergeant :D. You get things done. Thanks for simplifing it all for me. 500 active members is impressive.

1,500 is a lot. I wonder how many are active. Is there an easy way to know?

Below is the rest of the schedule of the Saints. Who's going to beat them? Make your picks. I see that they've got the Panthers and the Buccaneers twice. Now if New England were playing them in Foxborough in the snow ... My pick is the Redskins. I think they are going to do them in :D...

Very nice Scott. Do you know if that house, in the background, is for rent? It's getting cold here in Montreal. Sunny though :).

I'm sorry Louis. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Martyn, Thank you for the three drawings. They look great, and I think you're right, it would be great for the series. Britain could even commission a regular train manufacturer to make the train set and the rail; a kind of co-production :). Cheers russell
