    Need help building a castle

    I followed your thread for sometime. I thought your first one looked okay. The shop teacher at school is going to build it for me, that is why I need it to be wood. I teach history and will use in my room, but I really want to use it for my display of the many medieval figures I have...

    I agree. That sucks too. Being more of a bargain and budget toy soldier shopper, it is hard to find good armor at such a great price. I can by 10 panzers from 21st, to what it would cost me to buy say a Kand C. Maybe someone will do what Airfix did and sell to a bigger company that can...

    I was at a Walmart last night and was able to buy 10 of the 1/144th range tanks for a buck a piece. Although I see Walmart is phasing them out, they still will not lower the prices on the 1/32 scale in some places. ON a previous thread, MOnkey Depot was mentioned as having some great...

    Toy soldiers shops in ireland ?

    Do go to Bunratty castle and park. Very worthwhile visit. I wish some of the old shops were actually open though. I remember picking up a brochure for the Irish toy soldier museum in Kilarney. I think it is in Cork, if I am not mistaken. I did not have a lot of time to look, but it seems to...

    Embarrassed about Collecting Toy Soldiers?

    I mostly see this reaction as well. Most everyone I show these to has some sort of mix between admiration and amusement. Nice amusement though. Add all those ingredients and you get unique. One of the biggest response comes from my students. Many just have not heard of this type of hobby...

    Embarrassed about Collecting Toy Soldiers?

    I went through that a little as a teenager. now I am a teacher and use them in my classroom lessons. But, I went to a show last week and my wife's co-workers were asking my wife what kind of people went to the shows. My wife said "mostly old men and Drew". I got a laugh out of it, but the...

    Great topic for discussion

    Probably already been covered on here, but after seeing the picture of Hitler and Himler looking at figures on the show report thread, It would be great to have a discussion of famous collectors. I have heard Robyn Williams, Winston Churchill of course, Forbes family, George H.W. Bush, JOnathan...
