come on Martyn...show em off...we're both anxious and jealous to see them...^&grin

 

[GICOP]

Here it is...

HMS LION from the Crimean War series



I had been after one of these for a long time and started to think I would never add this boat to my collection....until I spoke to Clive Gande at the London Toy Soldier Show, thanks again mate :salute::

If you would like to see more pictures I will be posting some in the Crimean War and New Additions threads, I have added the Royal Marine contingent to a few of these pictures

Cheers

Martyn,

That is a wonderful ship! Congrats on the pickup. Just out of curiosity, how much did that cost to add to your collection?
Cheers,
Brendan

Tommy, ever since I had seen pictures of your boat I had hoped I would find one, to be honest I never thought I would

Something like that is the centerpiece of a collection, notwithstanding all the great pieces Martyn has.

Now, he just needs to get the other two and he will be allllllllll set! ^&grin

 

[villagehorse]

No doubt about it, she is a beaut. Would have lots of slots in my series from Sudan to WW1, for this boat to steam into. Certainly a centre piece to any collection, well done you. Robin.

It is a lovely set for sure
Well done
Look forward to seeing it in the flesh sometime
Maybe Mike can make a Little Legion version.

 

[Buster]

What a beauty Martyn, congratulations on a fabulous addition to your collection. Difficult to pick a Trophy favorite, but the HMS Lion has to be right at the top of the list. Way to go mate, very well done indeed.

I look forward to meeting up with you later in the year Damian. As far as LL are concerned I had a long chat with Mike at the London Show about large Paddle boats and he told me that there will be none available from LL for the foreseeable feature, I know you have your paddle steamer safely displayed, I think there were only around 10-15 of them made
