Congrats, Martyn
This set ("The only one") is quite hard to find for sure...
I am looking forward seeing your The Highland Brigade...
I have my HB of early Trophy soldiers but I think it is less then 186 pieces...

Hi Scott

You got that right

Now how about an ammunition wagon drawn by eight oxen, with four native drovers. This is a special version of EQ38 - OXEN DRAWN AMMUNITION WAGON which was originally supplied with two oxen and one handler

Martyn, this sounds mighty impressive! I assume it is a multiple box set?

Looking forward to the photos. Btw, is there anything you don't have from the Trophy list?

Hi Jeff

You are quite right about the multiple box sets, there are 11 x 24/25 figure Big Box sets plus the Command sets are in the smaller 2 figure boxes.

Still looking for a few but I'm getting there

Wow... it's quite interesting, Martyn... it seems that you got a later version of early HB sets I have which also came with the Command sets... surely mine came without boxes and in smaller numbers.. I am looking forward to see and compare!.

Good stuff, Martyn
Keep them (the pictures) coming...
I wonder only why does a guy with a rifle have a BLACK sporran?

In most highland regiment orders of dress, officers and other ranks have sporrans of different colour and or different number of tassles. I don't know if it's shown on a Trophy figure but the Gordon officers kilt shows the centre front between the yellow lines, where as the other rank centre front is the yellow line.
