You guys were lucky kids. All I had was green army men. When I first saw Marx soldiers I was blown away by the sculpts. I had to trade hard to get some of those soldiers. I first saw Airfix when I was 13-years old and bought them under a guise that it was for my little brother. I did have a...

Good pics Steve! Clearly, the corn eating woman is VC. She's everywhere. My favorite pic that I didn't see yet is of US soldiers huddled behind tanks in Hue city. Also love the Sheridan tank. Still hoping KC would make that tank. Unique design.

I'm no expert on 17th-18th century warfare, but you can wrap the sling around your arm to steady your rifle when aiming.

Happy Thanksgiving George. And to everyone on this Forum.

Steve, I can not expand your excellent photos. Can you post them differently?

The series is good, but I'm just tired at night. Even reading a good book, the book falls on my face after 3-pages.

I read a book about Southwestern Indians and you would come away that they were real savages, not to just settlers, but other tribes too. Really brutal stuff. I guess its a competition for resources and territory.

Although I slept through most it, there's always something to learn. Last night's episode had the patriots going total war on the Indians, killing, destroying their houses and burning crops. Something new to me. Also laying a chain across a waterway to prevent the British from sailing up the...

Went through 3-episodes. Great illustrations and paintings. Enjoying them, but I keep falling asleep. Of the 6-hours thus far, I probably saw 3-hours.

I started thinking about all the people that passed away since I joined the Forum some 20-years ago. Its a lot. Live large friends.

That might be M.A.R.S Patrol. The enemy had a crab symbol.

They have one right here at Treefrog.

Thanks Julie & Co. Great photos and variety of toys.

Hey Gary, good one. Sissies Lol. Remember when cars had that small side window to let air in. I wonder if kids nowadays know what roll down your window mean. I think we had ac in our family car, but my folks never put it on, because they thought it was frivolous and burned more gas. That box fan...

I have an Airfix box of 54mm soldiers that broke into many parts after 20-years. Maybe its the humidity in Hawaii that destroyed them.

Currently listening to Ken Burns on the Joe Rogan podcast. Episode 2336. Most notably his talk on the Revolutionary War. He also talked about baseball, boxing, Vietnam war. Excellent. I learned a lot.

I was having some bourbon yesterday and recalled wanting to name my son Race, but I ended up having three daughters. So I told my youngest daughter if she'd like to have the nickname Scout from To Kill a Mocking Bird, but she said no, so it didn't stick. We'd tease her, Erin barbarian.

I'm hoping it'll be as enjoyable today as when I was a kid. Trying to recapture my youth, like collecting toy soldiers.

Its in my cart and ready to order. Thanks Louis.

Jonny Quest is also my favorite cartoon. Lots of action. I should have bought the DVD with all the episodes from Costco years ago.
