Hi everyone,
I've decided to start up a thread of my collection. You may have already seen many of my favorite pieces in the Russian figure threads. Russian figures are my primary collecting pursuit, but I also enjoy First Legion a lot as well as some K & C, WB & JJD . I still have a lot of Conte things too, my first love when it comes to metal figures. It was the Conte church that got me into this hobby, and I still have that amazing building as well as the companion priory set. So this thread will allow me to post other figures than just Russian stuff. I will also occasionally post photos of figures that I'm looking to add to my collection.
If you would be kind enough to assist with one thing....do you prefer to see figure photographs with a plain background or s scenic one? I like scenic backgrounds for multiple reasons, but I think a lot of collectors find background elements distracting and that they ultimately detract from the subject of the photos. I'd really like to know your opinions and whether you have a preference or not. I imagine I'll do a little of both but maybe I'll lean one way or the other w/ your guidance.
I'll try to keep the thread fresh and add things. But w/ Russian figure collecting, due to cost and scarcity, there are often long dry spells followed by occasional bursts of activity. I hope you enjoy the photos and thanks for looking!

So let's get started w/ a real beauty. I just recently picked this one up- Landsknecht w/ flag by Aeroart.
