I started collecting Trophy figures in the early 80's and have a few thousand pieces in my collection.
They are responsible for getting me back into collecting "toy soldiers" and to this day are my favorite collectables.
Most of my collecting nowadays are for the matt styles which encompass more realism and accuracy. Still I believe
that if Trophy stayed in business they would have continued to be my major supplier. Len, through his brilliant sculpting and animation,
helped to bridge the gap between toy soldiers and military miniatures. His range of figures and eras was remarkable.
It puts him in a class with WBritains and K&C as a true leader in our hobby.
It is great to see the interest that still remains for this retired maker and obviously the value that continues to go up.
I am still amazed to see all the sets on these postings that I don't have! Len did some custom work for me on AWI and Napoleonics
but the volume of different regiments that I see pop up is really incredible. One day I hope to post some of my collection but in
the mean time keep the photos coming.

Fantastic looking sets Alex. They say British Empire to you. Halcyon days!
don't get him started, i have more than enough competition bidding on sets now. i could only imagine how expensive the sets might get with another major player in play. but i will say this martyn. the trophy napoleonics are beautiful. maybe we can hook brian into them
