    "Gin Gin I Love You"

    I'm certainly glad I revisited the Anglo-Zulu War era. Years ago I had a rather large collection of WB Rorkes Drift figure sets and buildings. Alas, I sold it all off to new homes. Oh well, that was then and this is now. The important thing is that I'm really enjoying 'getting back on the...

    "Gin Gin I Love You"

    Thank you Steve. I think that the Zulus are some of John's best sculpts. THX Rob. I am starting to see that the underlying theme of all these kind comments is that the backdrop is what brings this shelf display to life. It's certainly "knocking the ball out of the park!" Mike

    "Gin Gin I Love You"

    THX Matt. The background is a 36-inch x 24-inch poster of a photograph of a South African savannah that I cut to size to fit the back of the 36-inch shelf. I am very pleased how it worked out Mike

    "Gin Gin I Love You"

    Thank you very much Robin. The scarlet coats are like visual magnets aren't they. This small display will be expanding quite a bit going into next week as well as the end of the month when the JJD March releases are available. Mike

    "Gin Gin I Love You"

    THX Mike THX Mark. So far I've been able to get all the sets I want but a few of the sets required a search with multiple dealers. In some cases I bought the last one in stock. I have 4 more orders that are "in the mail". I made the decision to get them now instead of delaying in longer. Going...

    "Gin Gin I Love You"

    And so it begins. The first delivery of the Anglo-Zulu War sets for the Battle of Gingindhlovu. GG99-02, GG99-03, GGZ-05, and GGZ-08 (as well as WBritain 53001 "Mealie Bag Wall sections set). I'll have to say, these are really very nice sculpts and excellently finished. I'm glad I decided to...

    Rob, I think the rock cave gives your display more visual interest. Both displays are great looking but I like your current version best. Mike

    Larry Simons...March Through Times

    Sad news for sure. I had several dealings with Larry off and on over the past. Always very dependable transactions. Certainly another long time TS dealer that will be missed. Mike

    Great looking set up Rob. Outstanding backdrop. All you need now is music. Might I suggest "Waltzing Matilda" Mike

    Bored Tonight...Post a Diorama, LOL

    I've recently decided to collect some of the figure sets from the JJD Anglo-Zulu War, Battle of Gingindhlovu. I have a number of sets on order but not delivered yet. In the meantime I have freed up a 36-inch shelf and have been getting it ready for the new figures. The shelf depth is...
