Hi Rob,

I want to thank you for sharing your Toy Army Workshop collection with us. It is most rare that I get the chance to see so many wonderful Toy Army Workshop figures and your collection is very, very impressive! The figures are beautiful and your arrangement of them for the photos is extremely effective. You have a collection to be envied! My compliments!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Hello Rob,

Thanks very much for the nice glossy displays.

The figures in sheepskin are quite unique.

The snow looks pretty real to me.

Thanks guys thats very kind of you both.WW1 was always my first 'Historical love' and I think TAW really made the best WW1 Glossies I'd ever seen.The range of figures and vehicles they did was superb,when you look closely at the guys carrying the equip they really have a sad resolved look on their faces,its very well done.

Really nice figures and vehicles guys. I'm not at all familiar with TAW but they have a real charm to them and look like an amazing collection together.

I wasn't familiar with them either - but they were well before our time.

Rob, Richard and John,
all of you do have very nice collections there with your TAW items.
They sure look beautiful.
Classic Toy Soldiers at their Best, no doubt.

I was speaking to Graham Pettitt, the former owner of TAW, a couple of days ago and he informed me that he still has some odds and ends of old stock. Anyone interested can contact him at grahamandgill@tiscali.co.uk or by phone at 01420 561564 or at his address The Hollies, Roe Downs Road, Medstead, Alton, Hants GU345LG. As I understand it the bulk of what remains are figures although there might be one or two vehicles.

Congratulations on your extensive collection of TAW sets.
I got to know TAW very late in TAWs commercial life and was able to acquire only a few samples of his great artillery sets.
I would be great to have you in our Artillery Fans album and group so as to chat and share photos and information.
I will send you an invitation and would like very much to keep in contact with you.
Regards,

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!.......I am thinking that you must be running out of room at home by now....and need me to assist you in displaying these at my Casa!!!!!!!

I have a trench section display under a large plexi-glass cover that is my all time favorite thus far. It has all the action German release and the action Brit and Scot release from WWI K&C. It is my most shock and awe display!!

Friends/ family when they first see it will spend quite some time looking it over...so much depth.

Being a collector of so many line past and present....K&C is the only line I collect to do in dioramas. My others are all shelf a cabinet displays!!

Hi Hartschier,

I know the felling....and try to mix K&C with others to try and come up with unike settings.
Some samples I reproduce here and many more I have posted in the Artillery fans club album
and the Treefrogtreasures main site under the photo gallery at the following link

Hi Here are some of my TAW sets.....pitty we will not see more of these now that TAW is gone and the party that acquired the molds/masters and rights to the sets, not only did a poor start up job presenting very low quality attempts to sit in the major league manufacturer´s game but have gone in thin air......Not even trying to sell the mold into the market again.

Here I am matching TAW garrisons to Mountford guns....fantastic mix, pity they are no longer available so as to increase the collection.

Before I started collecting K&C my main collection was the excellent Toy Army Workshop.The collection can be roughly divided into three parts. Shirtsleeves(mainly artillery etc)Khaki and Winter goatskins.This first selection of pictures is shirtsleeves and some other Artillery displayed on a base I knocked up for them.I will be (over coming weeks)building a destroyed town scene for Khaki figures and Vehicles and Chateau Wood Type no mans land for the Sheepskin coat figures.

Hope you like them guys.First selection is British field Artillery firing in support of British troops outside Mons;

Hi Rob,
For some reason all your TAW pics are gone, I would love to see them! Any chance of you adding them back, or advise me where can I see them?
Regards
Luiz
