First post & a few pix (1 Viewer)

Hey there!
I've been collecting for a couple of years now, but probably only a bit more seriously in the past six months. I'm a fairly regular visitor to Vietnam and a collector of pre 1954 French Indochina insignia. So, when I started collecting toy soldiers a bit more seriously I gravitated towards the K&C Streets of Hong Kong range and decided to use them in an Indochinese context.

So here's a couple of pix of my French Indochina / Siam scene. Mainly K&C, with a couple of Del Prado and a couple of Britains Delhi Durbhar figures included. The base and buildings are all scratch built. It's a work in progress and I am just about to start the next stage of construction.

cheers

Jules

Nice dio scene. You have an excellent knack for buildings.

Thanks folks. My buildings were inspired by the styles that I saw in Hoi Anh (Vietnam) and Luang Prabang (Laos). They're made out of balsa wood and are quite basic as it was my first attempt.

I'm starting to get a bit more ambitious now, so who knows where this is going to end up?
