Crown Military Miniatures Booth at the Texas Toy Soldier Show.... (1 Viewer)

[mikemiller1955]

I just got back from the show last night and I really had a blast...

Nicholas Cameron let me help and sell some of my dioramas at his Crown Military Miniatures booth...

I was really lucky and sold a ton of my diorama boards and buildings...

it was so much fun and I'm so glad to clear out some room in my house so I can start building some more stuff...

here are some pictures of the Crown Military Miniatures booth...

this show is really growing...if you don't have it on your list of annual shows...you should think about adding it...

I really think Crown had one of the more interesting tables at the show...it seems people were taking pictures all day...I took a ton of pictures of people attending and all the booth's displays...I will post them on a separate thread....

Hey Mike,

Didn't realize that was you helping Nicholas. Nicholas started another collector with those St Peterrsburg figurines.

We need to do Treefrogger name tags for next year with our forum names. That should take care of who's who next go round.

That's a brilliant idea- and quite seriously, I think I will do that for the next show! Or maybe Shannon and Peter can sell them- or add them as a free gift with larger purchases....

A very sincere thank you to Michael Miller for taking all these photos and most especially for allowing me to use some of his dioramas in my show displays in San Antonio. Michael, you were an enormous help at this show.

This show, in particular, is one of my favorites: great location, great town, and such a fantastic assortment of collectors, dealers, and maufacturers. This was more like a vacation than work. What a delight to have met more Treefroggers there as well as many other collectors and patrons I have never had a face to go with.

King and Country and King's X did a remarkable job organizing this show. I have seen very few shows so well planned, structured, and advertised. They pulled out all the stops to ensure that everyone had a great time....and it seems to me everyone did. When I see shows like this, I am encouraged about the future of toy soldier collecting. We often hear about the hobby shrinking, but the diversity of attendees at this show, including many enthusiastic female collectors and young collectors confirms that the potential is there to expose lots of new folks to the joy of toy soldier collecting.

To everyone who attended, thanks for being a part of that....for the rest of you, looking forward to seeing you in San Antonio next year!

Thanks Michael for bringing me to the show starting with the photos of the Crown Military Miniature Booth photos. It was nice hearing via the phone you had a great time. Nicholas along with your helping hand did a great job in featuring his Military Miniatures for sale. Looking forward to your next round of photos ..............PapaZ
