Louis: Do you have the set with Sgt York? tommy

Yes, Tommy. Its one of the first 5-6 Trophy WWI sets I obtained. At that time I had only intended to collect the motorized and horse drawn sets, and two of the gun emplacement sets, to make a small diorama. The Sergeant York set started me down the road to collecting all Trophy WWI!{sm2}{sm4}:salute:: The set is on the diorama adjacent to the Searchlight Lorry (bottom right of first photo):

Great Pics taken by Alec, again a sharp eye for details...
As I look at these pics I spotted a mistake done by Trophy, back on there days!!
The German soldiers are wearing the light stormtrooper back packs which would be ok, were they not sporting the piked helments form the erlier part of the war....by the time this type of backpack was introduced, it was when of the stormtroopers were deployed towards 1917-18 and they would then me wearing the more modern steel helmet....which makes it an interesting historical incorrection by our friends at Trophy...maybe then these historical aspects were not so much looked at by Trophy....
Cheers

I was looking at this photo my son had taken and noticed the German next to the A7V Tank wearing a Pickelhaube with a canister on his back instead of a backpack . . .

and I thought, "do I have the flamethrower team set?" I went up with Alec to check, and to my pleasant surprise, it was one of the sets I had bought from Matt Murphy of the Hobby Bunker a couple of years ago, so I can take GW21, the German Pioneer Flamethrower Set, off my need it list!
