Excellent pic Tommy and is that a custom made gunboat? I have never seen it before.

Tremendous models and outstanding staging and photography. Whenever I feel I escaped the glossies, people like you, Randy, Dave N. or Pat W. pull me right back in.


I appreciate that. Thank you. Life would be poorer without them.

That water is like a mill pond, love the way you can see the reflection of the boat. Really well set out, cheers, Robin.

Thanks Tom. Len said he made somewhere between 50 to 100. They were not a special commission. Tommy

Thanks Andanna. To me Trophy's glossies and figures are the best for their time period. Tommy

Thanks Buster for your kind words. I forgot to mention earlier that the palm trees are by Trophy also. Tommy
