Trooping of the Colour at the University of Pittsburgh (1 Viewer)

[giblue]

Last weekend, I set up a toy soldier display of the Trooping of the Colour in the Commons Room at the Cathedral of Learning, University of Pittsburgh. I used over 700 figures from my collection. I also gave a presentation on the Trooping of the Colour, utilizing the display itself. There also was a photo op with a cut out of Queen Elizabeth, which was very popular. This event was sponsored by Britsburgh (https://britsburgh.com/) and the English Nationality Room. This link- https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiSI78nFb48VjS-VAZ3DYn6Lf6lz?e=PQ96Z3 shows pictures from the event. Visitors got to experience the color and pageantry of the Trooping on the same day as the real Trooping of the Colour in London. All without a plane ticket or passport.

Dave,
Very, very nice.
I have set up displays at schools, historical societies and two museums.

BUT …. I have never attempted something so ambitious at what you did … wonderful display.

That looks really good. I wish that I could do dioramas like that.

Te hubiera prestado el desfile de coronación de la reina, son mas de cien figuras y la carroza dorada en la primera edición creo de 1954.
