George: A truly admirable diorama....I am jealous! Perfect....right down Private Goofball hiding behind the haystack. Congrats on a really great dio. I could look at this all day. Best, Nicholas

I traveled with John to this show, and he was busy working on his sculpts the whole time. He absolutely is going forward with the project, but as with all things toy soldiers, schedules are often difficult to maintain. I am looking forward to seeing the finished products, as the masters I saw...

Hi folks...I hope I can clarify some of the confusion regarding Lead Army. With several new responsibilities, Sergei felt it was time to step back from Lead Army and hoped that Crown Miniatures would be willing to move his efforts over the years forward and continue to provide collectors with a...

Really super work, Larry! I knew retirement would agree with you. I really appreciate the amount of time you put into this project and your willingness to take the time to share it with us all.

Joe was a true gentleman and my friend. I had visited him many times in his home to do toy soldier repairs...work on photographs...and any other excuse we could find for TS camaraderie. I admired his passion for this hobby, his love of history, and his unrelenting commitment and generosity to...

Black Hawk has just released a new series, "The Tournament." We expect them to arrive in time for 28 December shipment to customers. As usual, Black Hawk has given a lot of thought to their new range, creating some great characters to participate in this joust. We are taking preorders, as we...

Robin: Unfortunately, I don't get much time away from work these days to come see what everyone is up to, but I am delighted to have discovered your thread. Your Rorke's Drift dio looks great. I am certain it will be a big hit! All the best,

As some of you may know, Joe (The Lt.) has been away from the forum for the better part of a month. He is expected home on Tuesday, and I just wanted to wish him a warm welcome home. Just a little something I put together for you, Joe...

Brad: This show was last weekend, a little surprised there was no mention of it here prior to the show, but that is on me as much as anyone, I suppose. I will be at the East Coast show on the 3rd. If anyone is looking for weird odds and ends that I don't usually bring, better to let me know...

I just noticed that I am actually in one of these photos...where's Waldo?

Here's one more...

Well, I was a little surprised to find no show report for the Williamsburg show. Never mind...just bear with me while I post the few photos that I have from the show (alas, I only have photos of the Crown Miniatures tables...but try to use your imagination for all the rest). Sorry this is a...

Thanks Tom... and everyone for their input...much appreciated.

Growing up, we were very poor. My parents would lock me in the attic and force me to build dioramas to sell so they could buy bread and cheese...sometimes they would give me some of the bread. I usually built rock formations with it. Nothing much has changed since then. I am still trapped in...

Guy: Your photos clearly mark the difference in scale. Thank you for this concise clarification. On the other hand..."Hey! it's Napoleon Mini-Me!" -Nicholas

Yes, Brad, I agree, they are not as refined as Somerset, but darned if I can ID them...no markings at all that I can see.
