How about a winged French girl wearing a kepi? That should do it.

Very nice! It reminds me of a visit to Mont St Michel this summer, when the fog was very thick first thing in the morning. Great buildings!

I always enjoy looking at your collection and photos. Do you use direct flash, or bounce? If you don't use bounce, you can get a flash you can swivel, which will can make a world of difference. You can also buy flash attachments that diffuse the light more. I almost always use bounce flash...

I am so impressed by this tank. I collect a lot of First Legion but have only one tank, and I don't collect FL Afrika Korps. When I first saw it, I thought, "wow, I should have bought that one," not realizing it was custom. That is superb!!

I am no expert, but they are not the same color on the actual restored Panther with that turret number.

I contacted Hudson and Allen about their buildings recently, as they probably will blend better due to style. I was told they do not have the buildings at this time but expect more in the future. I might just get both. I also collect John Jenkins Poilu and will likely use some of the Hudson and...

I collect a lot from both King and Country and First Legion. Lately I picked up a First Legion Sherman and added to my 101st Airborne. Has anyone tried using the King and Country Normandy buildings (the corner shop, for example) with First Legion?

Nice acquisition!!! I really like the detail on that tank. I have quite a few Figarti pieces and have always been a fan.

OK. Now, you are making me very envious. I have the parachutists and have dreamed of doing something like that. Beautiful display!

I will try. Thanks Mike.

I would like to acquire the Hudson and Allen Norman barn or any of the French houses. Does anyone have one that are willing to sell?

My only real issue with the running pose in any toy soldiers is that most makers make it look unnatural, although this may be a little more acceptable in glossies.

These are fabulous. I love figures that capture the humanity of soldiers, not just the combat. I am putting the German soccer/football player on my list, and probably one of the Canadian commando figures for now.

Since I bought the Holmes and Watson pieces, as well as the building, a few months back, I may just get the Ripper and ladies of the evening for a display (although I cringe a little at displaying a serial killer). It will be a little unrealistic of course, since with Holmes on the case, I am...

I got to see this display in July. Our time was limited, as we needed to get over to the Champ de Mars for the fireworks. I did not know what was in those rooms but decided to pop in. Needless to say, I was thrilled that I did, when I saw the toy soldiers. The miniature artillery collection in...

Re: What else you collect,beside toy soldiers The better question might be what have I not collected: over time - coins, Nazi German stamps, world currency (especially German), sports figurines (close to a thousand - would love to get rid of most of them now), sports memorabilia, books, etc...

The toy soldier shop is simply incredible!!!

I usually steer clear of political discussions on here, but I don't think the two are the same. The Americans and British did not pursue a "policy" of extermination, although certainly they knew thousands of civilians were dying during the bombings. What was done was because they were trying to...

Beautiful display! The group of tanks looks particularly nice.

Unfortunately, we took our family vacation to the UK last year! Going to France this time.
