[tmanthegreat]

I’ve had quite a haul the past couple of weeks, mostly K&C:

K&C Uboat Type XXVII Seehund
K&C Kriegsmarine SdkFz. 7 Recovery Vehicle
K&C British Comet tank
K&C British Battle of the Bulge troops
K&C British D-Day troops
K&C T17E Staghound armored car
K&C Daimler Mk II armored car
K&C Saving Private Ryan figure sets

Time to let my wallet take a break for a while!

I picked up an eclectic bunch of figures this week. From William Britains, I added the USMC Drummer to my War of 1812 collection and the figure of LGen Sir Arthur Currie to my First World War collection. I also added a figure of Canadian fighter ace Raymond Collishaw and a 60-pounder gun with crew from JJD to my Great War collection. I also have the 6" howitzer, and the two guns look terrific displayed beside each other.

Just received my Currie figure. I love it.
Really captured his likeness.
Congrats to OMSS for commissioning this figure.

Thanks to Mike Tarantino, I have now added these Frontline Figures to my collection.
I've been looking for them for the last couple of years

I saw your pics on the SSHQ forum, cnq, and you did a fantastic job on that 1/32 scale Apollo CSM model... It looks perfect!

A couple of months back a local collector brought a box of 30+ Stadden unpainted castings along to out local 'Toy Soldier Gathering with the prospect of selling them.

I had a quick look at some he unwrapped, and was amazed at this find. He's collected them over the past 20 years with the prospect of painting them for his collection, but now isn't able to do that, so decided to quite them. As I was the only person interested, I offered to have a private viewing, and then selected 11 figures that took my fancy. There were all French Napoleonic era figures that I didn't have in these poses or uniforms, or which were unusual poses.

This is the result of my paintwork since then........



Maybe I'll do another inspection of his troops and see what he has left ????

I have picked up a couple of Trophy WWI Dardenelles Aussie Sets, a Trophy Staff Car (the Maharaja of Bikaner's Staff Car) an Honour Bound WWII German set, and just made a deal for this Heco 1:32 scale Tinplate Junkers JU52 (in different markings from my first Heco JU52):

Re: Tinplate Roland DIIa Pt 1

A few months ago I surprisingly purchased one of these

with the intension of combining it with one of these

to hopefully create one of these for my tinplate WWI Saxon aces collection
.

This is the result after many tribulations. The Roland DIIa with the Coat of Arms of Halle on der Salle which could well have been the mount of the Saxon Ace Otto Creutzmann who was from the town and flew the type whilst with Kest 4.

Tremendous job, my friend!!

Thanks Louis for the vote of confidence but looking at those JU 52s makes me realise just how talented Tony Williams really was ! Having finished the three difficult projects I can now turn to the relatively straight forward task of painting the HECO Albatros I recently purchased from Egonzinc to add to the collection.
