New Home for My Trophy Collection (1 Viewer)

[Lawrence Lo]

Moved toys from the storage lockers to more suitable digs. Still processing through and figuring out how to organize and what to display. :smile2:

Hi Lawrence,

That is quite a sizeable Trophy collection. There must be more..........

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Take Care, Raymond.

Nice collection of Trophy sets Laurence, they look great set up in your cabinets a lot better then being hidden away in storage {bravo}}

Your display looks brilliant. I just love your boxer rebellion diorama. Im so sorry I never collected Trophy figures, but I have only got back into toy soldiers in the last couple of years so I missed the boat there. Off to London next week for the London show so I will pick up something nice hopefully{sm3}

Just to add whatever I buy it will be glossy. I got back into collecting toy soldiers by collecting the Del Prado partworks. But I quickly realised that I absolutely love glossy figures. I have about 300 matte figures that I dont even display, but I have 100 or so glossy figures that I give pride of place to. Trophy figures look to me to have been the best ever. They are a little out of my price range now so I have been buying whats available now. Got some lovely figures from Soldiers of the world, Little Legion and I was able to pick up a couple of Britains Premier range at the last show. Anyway great collection. Enjoy it

Well done Larry. I think that's just a fraction of your Trophy collection, which may rival your K & C collection, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you all for the kind comments. Have been busy reorganizing and the wife has given me some new marching orders, so apologize for the tardiness in replying.

Thanks Raymond. There are Napoleonics that are still being organized and a few others :smile2:

Sadly, I have to keep many in their boxes, but am working on getting them out in the daylight soon :smile2:

Hope you picked-up a few glossy figures at the Show. Trophy is harder to find these days, but as you mentioned, there are some other great makers. The Soldiers of the World line has some great Boxer sets that they just released. Good luck and Happy Hunting!

Well done Larry. I think that's just a fraction of your Trophy collection, which may rival your K & C collection, if I'm not mistaken.

Still sorting through, but probably have more Trophy gloss than K&C gloss - but still looking to maintain a 1 to 1 ratio ^&grin

Wow! you have some nice stuff......^&cool

Jeff

Thanks! Really enjoy having them all in one space, just scary what you collect/hoard over the years {eek3}

The steamboat paddlewheeler looks fantastic. Sudan War? Was it scratch built? LED strip lighting for your cabinet would be a nice touch. Thank you for sharing your fantastic Trophy collection. Very impressed.

 

[Terp152]

Very impressive collection! Love that paddle wheel steamer and Boxer Rebellion display. Thanks for posting. Chris

 

[ROUGH RIDER]

I finally got to see Larry's new place today, and impressive is an understatement. I have never seen so much K&C and Trophy all in one place!^&cool^&cool It really felt like I was in a huge toy soldier shop, because for every figure he has on display he has 2 or 3 others still in boxes neatly stacked on shelves, in closets, everywhere . . . {eek3}

Had a great lunch with Larry and Hans afterwards . . . :wink2:

Louis mate,
That is a lunch I would have enjoyed being at. Throw in Tom, Tim, Brad and Clive and you got yourself a lunch that could turn into an all dayer and finish late into the night.^&grin I hope Lawrence and Hans didn't give you a hard time like I seem to remember they did in 2010.^&grin
I think a trip to New York is on the cards to see this famous apartment and snaffel some TS into the bag.:smile2:
A Happy Christmas and a great New Years to all in New York..
Cheers Howard

Very very nice.

Hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays! Apologies for not replying sooner. The better half wanted several more rooms painted {eek3}, visiting college campuses for my daughter and having two birthdays (wife and son) to celebrate this month as well as the holidays, makes for a very busy month Thank you all for the kind comments The paddle wheel boat was built by Hicks Atwell. Great idea about the LED lights and thought about it as well, but decided against it for the moment as I have so much still to do. Something definitely to consider down the road. Still working on the displays and will post more photos. Thanks again for all the kind words and wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

Great news!! Looking forward to meeting the Good Lady Wife!! Please let me know the dates you will be in New York (as my son finishes his studies in May and I need to bring him home - otherwise my Good Lady Wife will not be very happy with me) and I can make the necessary arrangements. If you need a place to stay, you are welcome to stay with us. The papier mache, wood and metal detectors should be in place by then :tongue:^&grin Will get as many of the gang together to celebrate breakfast, lunch, dinner and after-dinner :smile2:
