Now that was very cool Tommy! I had to leave my Durbar Dias in storage so I cant make any major displays but someday!

Thanks Dave. I still couldn't find room to fit in the other two elephants. You could go with the smaller Marlborough review stand if you could find one. I think you lose the overall effect especially when you see the old photos of the Dias.

I totally agree! I would love to get my hands on one of the Marlborogh review sets as well so I could populate the Britains Dias with actual figures. Some day I will. I plan to make a modular set up of the Dias and the part of the route that went through it and of course what to get a nice looking Flag pole set up with a lot of soldiers on display as well as the elephants. Do love all the elephants that are out there and will get more one of these days.

Thanks again for posting the cool photo. Do you have a list of the sets you used that arent Durbar? If you do can you post it.

Have you seen the Victorian figures made by Asset Dave? I think the would work, they have seated woman and gentlemen.

Very nice display Tommy !!

Thanks Scott and Dave. All of the figures and the Dias in that photo are from Britains Indian Army and Durbar Series, 1994-2003. If you have Norm's book, they are pictured on pages 141-153 except I did not buy Set 134, Napier Rifles firing, and Set 135, Queens Corps of Guides running, and the sets shown on page 153. I hope that answered your question.

Hi Tommy,

It sure does, I have those two sets you didnt get because I want to use them in a NWF thing I have in my head. But I am waiting and hoping we will get some Pathan or Other Tribesmen to go against them. I know some other makers have made these guys but I still hope Britains will. That way they will go better together. Would also just love some Gurkhas in Action poses as well.

Thanks for posting the great photos

Dave
