When I got home from my trip to Antietam all of my new Trophy Acquisitions had arrived! I will try to get them out on my WWI diorama and have Alec take some photos later today.

Beautiful display Louis, Len Taylor would have loved to have seen that :salute::

Stay safe

Martyn:)
Thank you Martyn. Coming from you that is the highest complement. I am only 2 sets away from completing my goal of displaying all of Len’s Western Front sets, but I still have to find the majority of his Russian and Turkish sets to meet my overall goal of displaying every Trophy WWI set.
 
I'm looking for a little help gentleman: Are any of you firendly with Ken Jackson of Heritage Miniatures, or at least have his contact information? One of the last two sets I need to complete my collection of Western Front Trophy WWI is this Gray Bus with Navy personnel, which Mr. Jackson has been producing until recently (and hopefully will still produce):

I would very much like to get in touch with Mr. Jackson, and see if I can order one of these buses, and would appreciate an introduction from a fellow forum member who is friendly with him. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, for anyone who has one of these buses, or the Motor Ambulance (depicted below), I would be interested in purchasing or trading for it (I have an extra Trophy Searchlight Truck and several other duplicate Trophy WWI sets to trade).

I should throw out a thank you to our good friend and Trophy expert Martyn, as right after I bought these extremely rare sets, I saw a PM from Martyn giving me a heads up. You are the best, mate!👍👍
