Trophy WW1 (3 Viewers)

[Louis Badolato]

I managed to obtain another item from this seller: the German Packmule with the Handler wearing a Stahlhelm, the last variation of a WWI packmule I needed:

Boy is this seller's collection vast! I just purchased the Mounted British Officer with the soft cap, the only version of any of the mounted officers I didn't have yet!

Great figure Louis, reminds me a lot of my Lord Kitchener figure from my Anglo Boer War collection

Stay safe and keep picking up those missing WW1 sets you are after

Martyn,

Your Kitchener is a great figure in a similar uniform and pose. It’s a shame Trophy didn’t make a Lord Kitchener WWI figure, maybe in a staff car like Lord Roberts.

i just made a deal with the same seller for ga11 turkish infantry firing line, gw49 standard bearer- russian regimental and a mounted german officer wearing a stahlhelm:

congrats louis , i just couldn't part with mine right now. I believe there are only 12 sets of each turkish set ever made, and not too mant russians either. Does anybody know the exact numbers on the russian production?

The same seller just offered me this wonderful Stretcher Team in soft caps, which I of course snapped right up:

As I had mentioned, because Trophy had not done any German artillery, I had asked out very talented friend John O'Brien (O'Bee) to paint an Austrian Skoda Mortar crew. John finished them, and as usual, I could not be happier with the result:

Great additions to your collection. John does excellent work.

The Trophy sets I posted about last week all arrived today. My son Alec is at an SAT class until 9:30 p.m., so I can't start unpacking them yet, as he would be really ticked off if I did it without him. Hopefully photos of the sets in situ will be posted later this evening.:salute::

The wonderful Skoda Mortar Crew painted by our very talented friend John O'Brien (Obee) have arrived and been placed on my Trophy (and other makers) WWI diorama, and I could not be more pleased:
