Hi Tom, Any interest in a K&C Alamo façade? I don't have any figures but have a nice façade in original box marked RTA014. I've seen several variations on eBay and this one is dated 2006 on back. Kind regards. John

Greetings all, It's been awhile... thought you might like pictures of the 1136 Britsih Camel Corps variation that I just received. I'm guessing someone must have posted the grey jacket version before but this is a nice expanded set. Enjoy. Kind regards. John

Mike, Thanks for the preview... the toy soldier excitement continues this month. Kind regards. John

Thank you, kind sir. I'm glad that you enjoyed the pictures. It is a dream set in my mind but, I confess, I'm already feeling the urge to order more sets from the Diamond Jubilee series. I've been looking for an excuse to order the 3rd Dragoon Guards band for some time. I really like mounted...

Thanks to all who took the time to enjoy and reply... it is remarkable work. I found a copy of one of the original Hocker ads for the set in an early 1993 issue of Old Toy Soldier. I thought it would be worth adding to the post. A Hocker trivia question if I may... Set 100 includes Sets...

Greetings all, I've collected a variety of makers for years and have a number of Bill Hocker's NWF sets and a few Sudan sets but I haven't been this excited in a long time. I don't know if anyone ever posted this one before but, if so, this is the encore. Attached are pictures of Hocker Set...

Michael, Attached are pictures of the Hocker Kohat Camel Battery and the Hiriart 1885 Camel Battery for comparison. I've also included closeups of the walking figures from both sets and the Hocker set with one of Hiriarts mounted camel sets. The camels in the mounted set appear slightly...

Michael, Attached are some pictures for comparison of Hiriart and Hocker mounted sets. I do not have any Dorset or Wessex mounted sets. My Hocker sets are mostly from the Sudan and Northwest Frontier series so I've used the Hocker 2nd Punjab Lancers and 21st Lancers for reference. Since you...

Allen, This looks a lot like a conversion or casting based on the Britains officer in the Yoemen of the Guard set. The picture below is a reproduction from London Bridge in PA. The detail on the coat appears to be identical. The base matches too. What do you think? Best regards. John

Thanks Damian, glad you like the pictures.

Mike, Glad you like the group. This is the rear of the column... you can see mounted infantry in the foreground and the 80th and 91st infantry in the background. The 60th Rifles, the catalog version of the 17th Lancers and another Dragoon Guards set are not shown. I'll try to work on some...

Thanks Mike. I thought you would like that one... here is shot of the troop heading out on patrol ahead of the columns. The project is coming along. Best, John

Greetings Hiriart collectors, After a long layoff from posting... here is a new Zulu War set, Hiriart's representation of the Natal Carabineers. This is part of a project started almost two years ago. I hope you like it. Best always. John

Thanks Mike. Another great thread... This is one of my favorite sets and themes and the grey mules are indeed very well done. In 2012, Hiriart produced this set using a different mule casting and painting them in shades of brown. Attached are pictures of sets stamped 11 and 12 from my...

These are Hiriart's representations of the 1st and 2nd Life Guards and Royal Horse Guards in Egypt. The Life Guards double set is the add-on to the original two single sets. I thought a new thread might be nice following the 19th Hussars thread that Mike started. Enjoy...

Here are two more Hussars variations of the same castings with the 19th, the 20th Hussars in the Boer War and 10th Hussars in the Sudan. Enjoy...

Some more pictures of the 19th Hussars for your enjoyment...

Mike, This is actually a 2012 set that I had made as part of a Zulu campaigns project. It is not stamped on the tie-card but the single sets ordered at the same time are all marked. I bought the catalog set in 2009 and had an add-on set of five lancers made with this set. The project is...

Mike, I had not seen them either until I saw them in the auction catalog. Sorry, there are no date stamps on the tie-cards. The boxes are about two inches shorter than the current version but the same depth and width. I thought the Seaforths might complement the WWI ANZACS but haven't...

Here is a very nice version of the 17th with slung lances.
