Very cool Martyn but have a feeling those guys will be busy trying to save those guns in the not too distant future
Martyn,
Trophy made some really great artillery sets, didn't they! ^&cool

Where? - be Quick! - I can't see any Gatling Guns!!!!!
Concerned - Leamington-Spa!
Martyn, I don't collect Gloss but always look fwd to viewing your collection. Beautiful work. Chris
Fantastic Photos!!!
I watched the movie "Zulu Dawn" a few days ago and then of course followed with the classic "Zulu". When I saw the photo of the Gatling gun scene from behind I could imagine them buggers sticking their heads up from the bush any second.
GREAT photos and set up -- Thanks!
Martyn
I never was or have been a glossy collector but I have always admired and enjoyed the pictures of your very extensive and colourful Colonial collection. Your dio shots always depict well thought through professional lay-outs which definitely help to highlight your figures.
When I attend the London shows I tend to by-pass the Glossy tables, however, last Saturday I had to pick up some LL pieces for a very good Yankee pal of mine. I got talking to Mike of LL and although a Londoner attempting to talk to a Welshman forced us on occasions to use sign language ^&grin found him to be a real nice guy who guided me through a number of his sets.
Bottom line Martyn is this was the first time I had had a closeup and personal view of these little troops which were very impressive and I came away clearly understanding why you, Joe, my Yankee pal and other forum collectors are so enthralled with these splendidly colourful guys.
Back to your pictures-brilliantly stunning.

A great set up of figures and backgrounds....
just what I LOVE to see Gunners all hot and sweaty manning the guns in action,
UBIQUE,
John
Many thanks Bob that is a wonderful compliment regarding my pictures:salute:::salute:::salute::
Mike is a great guy to deal with, we had a similar problem with communication but after a couple of years I think we have cracked it^&grin. I am also a Londoner from South of the River.
Cheers
Martyn
Don't know how I missed your Royal Artillery in action Martyn but glad I got to see them this AM. Very nicely staged and photograph as usual They deserve a 6 hand salute.:salute:::salute:::salute:::salute:::salute:::salute::...Joe

Martyn,
If there isn't a book on Trophy's products, you should write one. Since you live in London, you ought to contact Kevin Elliott (Panda1gen) and he can photograph and edit it for you. I don't even collect Trophy to any great extent any more, but I would buy the book if you wrote it.
Martyn
I enjoy viewing your Trophy figures and guns. The photos are great. Thanks for showing them to us. I wish I bought more Trophy other then a Gatling Gun set and some figures. Leadmen
