Those are not play in the dirt soldiers, those are for looking at and calming you down. Great pics Pat. Mike:)
 
Gentle Friends,

Attached you should find four pictures of another of the pieces that I prize in my collection. It is titled: Russian Warrior with Religious Banner Over Dead Mongol. You might pay special attention to the banner. I think it is magnificent.

You might also enjoy the exquisite detail and the outstanding painting which is easier to see in the closer views below. I hope you enjoy the figure. I am proud to have it included in my collection.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Gentle Friends,

The following images are not pictures of knights, but they are magnificent figures in their own right. I am placing these pictures with my knights because of the quality of the sculpting and painting.

Presented below are four pictures of a vignette from my collection. The piece is simply title: "Surrounded." I hope you enjoy the images of the Romans defending their position.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Gentle Friends,

I have often stated that my collection is varied and diverse. The figure appearing below helps demonstrate the truth of my statement.

Let me introduce you to my Tibetan Noble. He is number 10 of a limited edition run of a total of 100 figures. He is manufactured by Medallion Miniatures and he is a pround member of my Russian Figures collection. I think you will find him a little different than what you might usually see. I hope you enjoy him.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Gentle Friends,

Instead of carrying a grand banner, the Tibetan Noble carries a magnificent umbrella which is decorated with interesting ribbons, baubles, and jingle-jangles. The umbrella was obviously far more effective in keeping the hot Tibetan sun off the Noble than a grand banner would have.

Below, you should find several pictures, taken at different angles, which displays the Noble with his fine umbrella.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Gentle Friends,

I will close this series of pictures of another of my Kool Kansas Knights by focusing on the grand figure of my Tibetan Noble and the wonderful drappings adorning his horse. I hope you have enjoyed viewing him.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Pat, those are some of the finest soldier displays I've ever seen. those belong in a museum, or in a very fancy curio cabinet. I for one would like to thank you for sharing them with these eyes, Fantastic Stuff, Mike:):):).
 
Good job Pat you are becoming quite the photographer. You said your collection was diverse and you were right on the mark. Thanks for sharing:)
 
Gentle Friends,

I would like to introduce you to another of my Kool Kansas Knights. Below you should find pictures of my Polish Winged Hussar, circa 1605. He is one of Gostomski's troops and he appears in Parade Dress. Gostomski's troops bore stuffed eagles on their shields.

One of the great features of this figure is the magnificent banner the figure carries. I have included a closeup of this banner so you might see its exquisite detail. And,...of course, another wonderful detail is the stuffed eagle on the knight's shield. You might also note the leopard skin that draps across the Hussar's back.

This figure was produced by Medallion Miniatures and this specific figure is number 29 of a limited run of 100 total figures. He is one of the special figures in my collection and I prize him highly.

My pictures do not do justice to the beauty of this figure, but I think they are good enough to give you a general idea of his special nature. I hope you enjoy him.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Hi Rob,

I am glad you like my knights. They are all 54 mm scale.

Pat
 
Hi Pat
For what ever reason, looking at the pictures and detail I assumed they where much larger .I can see why they take a special spot in your collection.
regards Rob
 
Pat,

Another amazing figure from your amazing collection. That banner is unbelievable. What detail, almost beyond words.
 
A gorgeous piece my friend. Do you ever feel like a proud dad with ll these great figures?

Hi Vamp,

I don't think I feel quite like a proud dad. Rather, the experience is more like the deep satisfaction and gratitude that results from achieving a long term goal. Pride is associated with the experience as well as a sense of being somewhat humbled by one's good fortune.

I'm glad you like my knights and I appreciate you commenting on them. :)

Warmest personal regards,

Pat ;)
 
Pat: You sure have a nice quality collection of figures.The figures you choose are purchased with a keen eye to collect some of the best. You certainly have a quality collection.Sometimes I think I bought more for quantity rather then quality. I do have some Russian figures but too few to matter. I enjoy your pictures. John
 
Gentle Friends,

I thought you might like to see another Polish Winged Hussar that resides in my collection. This fellow is interesting in a number of ways.

First of all, he is a Winged Hussar Bugler. I rarely see Winged Bugler figures. You might want to look at the detail of the banner that hangs from his long bugle.

You might also note the great detailing of the saddle blanket and the drapings on the horse. The clothing on the Hussar is intricate and beautifully prepared. The rider's leopard skin is nicely painted.

You should be able to see a fine view of his wings in a couple of the pictures below. All things considered, I am very pleased to have him in my collection. I hope you enjoy seeing him.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat
