Normandy Tigers sounds good, but with a Wittmann version or Two.

Great to some Afrika Korps updates, hopefully some 8th Army or Aussies to come.

Yes, it has come up before, however I was hoping to remind some members that there are different niches/sections in the 'Toy Soldier Hobby', and that is was incorrect to suggest that the Entire hobby was failing due to obscure factors such as education etc. Some sections of the TS hobby are...

Terrific hobby room Mark, I note the peaked ceiling, is that in an attic? You've adopted some creative display ideas, those uniforms and acrylic cases are amazing. You are another collector here that has used metal racks for dioramas and larger display pieces such as bombers (sfarrelly please...

'Greed is Good' is evident in most Western countries. However this accident occured on the doorstep of a seemingly proactive President that is not scared to make changes, watch that space. There's no doubt the airlines took advantage of any Covid funding, same with many different Industries in...

The quickest and easiest way to reduce the air traffic would be to transfer the cut price airlines/flights to Dulles airport. I doubt many US government employees travel on the cheap flights, I know our Aussies don't.

Thanks Rob, it's taken me several years to get that room sorted. I currently have a cupboard full of models to be sold, have over 70 on eBay ATM. I also kept the boxes for all my sets on display, they are a storage nightmare, I have boxes full of boxes throughout the house and in my garden...

I could understand that airport being used for government transport, that would blend ok with potential military use. However I think the general public should be shifted to alternate airports wherever possible, to bad about the extra travel time. From what I've discovered about the high air...

I totally agree with you, hopefully the recent air accidents will bring some common sense to the issue and increase funding to critical resources.

Mate you need a football field 😀

More likely it was a training flight for emergency evacuation of key Washington personel, there's not much point training for that in another location. I still don't understand why that airport remains Commercial and isn't under Military control being so close to the Whitehouse etc, it makes no...

Hey Steve, I noticed you following that conversation, his preference for Russians soon raised it's ugly head 🤣 The Rust is Brutal here, especially for metal on my patio facing the river, but it's a reasonable trade-off for the view etc. However I wouldn't mind rust on my model tank tracks...

WOW you have some terrific bomber models and you're a Brave man to display them on those shelves, especially with a fiesty feline in house.

Thank you Robin, the Lancaster is an impressive model, and still looks cool up high.

Hey Carlos, those LED strips really make your displays pop, I'll have to get some for my shelves to reduce the shadows cast by my downlights.

Thanks Wayne, I do like things 'organised'. Relationships are tempting and I dated a number of women since my wifes death. However I haven't bothered getting back into online dating since Covid, and I have to say I'm much happier for it. The s e x is the hook but that usually comes with a bag...

Well done Mike, a very realistic display.

This thread has diverged from the intended subject somehwat, but that's not unusual, and I will contribute more to the divergent discussion, perhaps hoping for some diversity funds from our government ;) The Toy Soldier Hobby can be divided into numerous interests and scales, especially if...

I agree in theory, but reality is rarely simple, a bit like burying power lines to 'prevent' fires, just not practical in most cases. Military helicopters need to patrol high risk environments especially near Washington, to do that they also need to practise there. My understanding is that...

OK, that's about it, it's amazing how many models you can display in a relatively small space. Please post some of your display ideas here.
