Hi Chaps

Here is a picture of the boxes, all 52 of them, they range from AZW thru AFGHAN, SUDAN and EGYPT, BOER and 3 CIVILIAN + 6 individual figures.

Excuse my language but I had a bloody fantastic day.

It will take some time to get pictures of the contents but as a taster they include the BOER WAR TRACTOR , WINSTON CHURCHILL and DERVISH WARRIOR at Omdurman, OXEN DRAWN WATER CART , the 2 KDG figures I needed for the set and HZ20, HZ26 and HZ29. Thanks also to Joe the Lt for pointing out the difference between the HZ2 and HZ2A 24th figure I found him too.

Cheers

Can't wait for pictures, and I know Damian is impatient to see the Boer Tractor! Good job.

Martyn,
Truly awesome stuff you acquired at the show. You must have been on a single-minded mission, eh? I can just picture you running up and down the rows of vendrs, muttering "gotta find Trophy, gotta find Trophy"!
Nice trophies from the hunt!

My Aide De Camp he had a loaded tractor trailer truck follow him home after the show with all his goodies it sure looks that way. Can't wait to see the photos of the sets yet to be shown Martyn as I'm sure the little kid from across the pond can't wait to open them to play with and wouldn't bet that they haven't been open already.....The Lt.

Hope this comes out. What a haul. Nancy would kill me. Hope you survive it. Did you raid a Trophy store? Are there any survivors? I rarely get to see new Trophy around this neck of the woods.

Martyn,
Excellenent sets you have there. Can I ask another dumb question? Why do the faces (and generally) of these guys look so much better than any in the AZW range, or is it just the Winston with Mauser broomhandle ?
