Hi Danscott,

Thanks for posting these terrific photographs! Your friend certainly has an awesome collection. I can not begin to imagine what 20,000 figures might look like when they are all on display. What a sight that would be!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Great plastics! I sometimes wonder if I still had my plastic soldiers from my childhood, that I wouldn't have the need to collect my current metal collection. I had some great Marx and Airfix stuff. Playing with plastic toy soldiers as a child is way better than admiring a well sculpted metal soldier as an adult today.

Now that's what you call a collection and what a way to display it! That is a really neat idea to have an access area on the War games table disguised as a river/lake. Those Napoleonic’s are some really nicely painted figures.

Thanks for posting these.

Jeff i did notice that also it just looks like a lake and you get to pop up move troops around .
I also like the train set looks like 1/32 scale ?
