Really great setups. I love the Greek flutist, but he might be a bit chilly!
I also really like the use of cotton given the amount of smoke this weapons would demonstrate.
Gives me lots of ideas for my Great Siege of Malta diorama that I have planned.

That would be a great set-up. This is one of my favorite historical periods,

Awesome.
I wonder: Is yours the greatest collection in Slovenia?
I think you can take on all challengers.
Anyway, love everything you have.
Best Wishes from the USA

Simply spectacular, from the castle to the figures and everything in-between!
Thank you very much! This is an interesting hill, behind that little hill is a bigger hill (564m) and there were very old settlements from 4000-6000 BC and untill around 700AD when the hill was abandond. There were many different tribes, nations, people who live and build there from the Iliryans, Celts, romans, langobards, slavs,...there are still ruins there and the archeologist find a lot of items from the graves such as jewelry, weapons, ceramics,...and the items are in museum. From that ruins, it was probably build this castle around 1000-1600 AD but under the hill.
There was an interesting find also, when a farmer find a statue of Germanic and sold it to an collector and during the WW2 the German soldiers take away that statue and give it to Himmler and he give it to Hitler for his birthday and after the war the English soldiers take away this statue among other items and there was an reparation and they must return the statue back to Slovenia and now this statue is in national museum. But originaly was found under this hill in some old roman rustic villa,...so this hill and his suroundings have many treasures still i think. It will be interesting to use an metal detector....but i think it is forbiden because it is an arheological sight.... but not all the hill is arheological sight so it worth a shoot to prospect
Thank you i am glad you like it!
Well this is probably true, because i do not know if there is anyone else to collect toy soldiers in my country Slovenia. When i search in the internet i did not find no one, even when i look at the places where people sale their old used items, no one selling nothing about toy soldiers, there is no stores, so i do not know for no collectors in Slovenia. But i know that there is an museum in town called Maribor and they have many flats (flat toy soldiers) i think one old collector from Austria leave them his collection after his death. Why them i have no idea.
Even when i offer to display my collection in some museums no one show interest, even that otoman Turks really attack my country in 15-16 century. It seems that toy soldiers are not so popular in my country, there are many collectors of stamps, and coins,...they have their clubs and meetings,...but nothing about toy soldiers
