NEED HELP-looking for a toy soldier set (1 Viewer)

[Aleš]

Which is the best set out there?
It can be from any era (historical period),from any kinf of producer,....only that it is atractive,good sculpting,good painting,interesting(this is very immportant!).
It must be interesting,something that you can play with,something that can be display and look very good,....something that will occupied you for some time,something that it is already a diorama too,....not just two soldiers marching with the comander.Maybe something like two soldiers fighting but that there is also some diorama pieces include in this sets,or anything like this.Something that it could be a part of a big diorama or just for themselves.But it must be made from pieces,not just all in one big piece like Custer last stand from BlackHawke or Conte,....but it must have like 4,6,....pieces in the set so that you can make diferent looks of a set.
Any ideas?

That's going to be a tough question, Ales, because it is so dependent on personal taste.

For example, I could say it's Heyde's "Triumph of Germanicus", but not everyone would agree. Others might point to the coronation and other large box presentation sets made by Britain in the classic era, or the multi-tiered diorama boxes made by Mignot, or the entire "Streets of Old Hong Kong" series from King & Country.

Tough question...

well,yes,maybe i forgot to mention it must be a "small set" like around 100 euros,200 tops.
Tell you a little secret i need this for a gift to someone,but i do not know his taste because he is not a collector.It is just something i wannt to give him for a big favour he do for me.
So i was thinking maybe later he will "get hooked" on toy soldiers or he will have just for a little display in his house.
