Hi Michael

Thank you for the question.

I've got my sets listed on spread sheets and I've just gone through them.

Here is a pretty accurate count on figures

1889

This excludes livestock i.e. Horses, Mules, Elephants, Camels, Dogs(an easy one) etc

and equipment i.e. Wagons, Guns, Steam Engines (another easy one), Boxes, Barrels, Rifles, Shields, Muskets, Assegias, Knobkerris etc

and Buildings, Defence works, Diorama pieces, Tents etc

Cheers

Martyn

Martyn,

You take your collecting most seriously! I take it you don't have all these on display at once or do you? That would be a most impressive sight to behold

Hi Jeff and many thanks

As soon as the Lottery numbers come up I shall be getting a very large house with museum annex, until then I am rotating the figures, display wise, every 6 months. At any one time I have about 20%/25% on display

Cheers

That is quite the haul Martyn, I think if you got rid of say oh I dunno 10 figures to your favourite forum buddies you would then have the perfect number

Very nice collection, now be a good chap and go and set them all up for us please

These came while I was enjoying a day fishing. You should have seen the one that got away.

More nice addition to your Trohpy collection Brian and regards to the fish I just hope there is a lot of chips(fries)

Martyn...I think that's really cool that you are so committed to Trophy's...

that's a large collection to display...requires a lot of room...

I finally got all my stuff out their boxes and I really enjoy it much more being able to look at it...

good luck with the lottery...hope you win it so we can see them all at once...

Hi John

That is a great set and apart from AZW will fit in nicely with Lieutenant-General Sir Garnet Wolseley's military expedition to Egypt in 1882

Featuring three photos of my Tropy Marines. Got to thank Damain for allowing me to purchase the sword wheeling Officers for which he had plans to. The single figues I found at the Hobby Bunker during meets with Fish and Modwall.

Excellent pics Joe

You have figures from HS1, HS2 and HS3, the one not shown is the Royal Marine private lunging with his bayonet

Have you still got your other Royal Marine figures, I bet you have.

Cheers
