Today was a good day: I also picked up GW21 or GW21V German Guard Pioneer Flame Thrower Squad wearing Steel Helmets (I had the set wearing Pickelhaubes) as well as a second set of GW18 (German attack on the Western Front).

I managed to make a deal and obtain a set of Trophy Doughboys wearing Park Ranger style hats, and the matching Head of the Column Set wearing the Park Ranger style hats (I already had the sets wearing the helmets):

That would go great with our WW1 Mobile Field Kitchen. One of our favorite Trophy sets! Great find.

The Trophy German Flamethrower Team in steel helmets and late war German attack on the Western Front sets arrived and my son set them up on our WWI diorama alongside the Flamethrower Team in pickelhaubes:

As you know, while Len made excellent British Heavy and Field Artillery for his Great War series, he made none for the central powers. I Managed to pick up this Skoda Mortar from Superior Toy company made in the 1970’s. The gun is in excellent condition and the barrel elevation gears work fine. I am working with our good friend John (Obee) to obtain the appropriate crew. Like the German field gun and crew, I have asked John that he assemble and paint the crew to his usual superior standards to match the glossy style of Trophy.

This is the Austrian Skoda Mortar Crew I am asking John (Obee) to assemble and paint for me (I believe this is a photo of the casting he assembled and painted for Luiz):

This is the kit that was reissued as the Skoda Mortar by Bill Schommer many moons ago. It is a great kit, I think I have about 3 versions , the Toy Soldier Reissue, the original kit painted with original crew mounted in a museum dio setting as well as one or 2 John Eden Versions done by John a number of years ago. Cool artillery and nice pickup!

I managed to pick up the "Long Range Snipers" set (the last of the Lorry's I needed) and a second Serchlight Lorry (I got the searchlight lorry "buy-it-now" on eBay and the seller contacted me and offered me a "buy-it-now" on the Long Range Snipers, which he had up for bids).

I would be willing to trade the extra Searchlight Lorry to someone who has one or more of the Trophy WWI sets I am still looking for:

Thank you, Martyn!. You know you were the one that got me started collecting Trophy WWI when you posted a photo of the catalog page with the EQ sets about 5 years ago. I couldn’t resist the lorries and the big gun sets. It may take me another 5 years but I am committed to obtaining every WWI set Len made.
