I love Mounties! I have a complete uniform (right down to the snowshoes) except for the actual service revolver from the 1930's. Great looking diorama! You have to love JJD's figures!

Its nice to see you back in Bastogne. You've spent all your time in Holland lately!

May Jay rest in peace. The world is a poorer place for the passing of each of those who served our country.

Wow! Just Wow! I love it!

The Heco Engine Starter Lorry and Military Tent arrived and have been set out on two of my dioramas:

I couldn't agree more. Honour Bound vehicles are still top notch. I have at least one of each except for the Gold Edition Sturmtiger.

Thanks to the kindness of our good friend Mark (Saxon Lions), who gave me the heads up, I obtained this Heco Tinplate Models RAF Engine Starter Lorry and this military tent:

Yes Victor, I'm kind of nuts, I have three Franco Prussian War uniforms among the 50 or so full and partial uniforms I have on display, along with around 80 period Soldier Dolls (mostly Steiff, but also Harwin, Kathe Kruse, Tenue du Campagne from the French Great War Museum at Vincennes). Your...

Yes, as always we hired a National Parks Service Guide for a Battlefield Tour, this one focusing on the New York Volunteer Regiments. Is Whitworth's the big toy soldier shop with the triangular parking lot in front? If so, yes.

I think everyone who attended did. My wife and daughter had a spa day and loved the Getty-Pedi ride. We all loved the food and company. My son and I loved the history. If you can make it, I highly recommend it.

And my big acquisition for the weekend: A Ken Osen built diorama containing Britains prototype/masterpainted products/figures:

My son and I certainly had a great time! Dinner at the Dobbin House Friday with Ken and Erika was a highlight for my family. The events Saturday were amazing! While my wife and daughter tooled around town and the battlefield in a three-wheeled "Getty-Pedi" that went 55 mph, my son and I snuck...

Here's a photo of my Franco Prussian War effort loosely based on this painting:

Just brilliant, Victor!

I am lucky enough to have the Nile Steamer Victoria, the Union Gunboat Eagle, the Nile River Gunboat and the Maddhist Dhow in my collection. They are all works of art. I put them right up with the WWI Lorries (which I own), Buses (I have all but the Gray one), Motor Ambulance (which I am still...
