What Toy Soldier items Have You Acquired in The Last 2 Weeks ? (2 Viewers)

While not normally a big fan of Collectors Showcase, they make some interesting diroama pieces. I picked up this Reichkanzlerei Diorama Piece from Treefrog. My only other investment in this TS company is Hitlers' Office...

Just picked up these sets from my local TS shop. The K&C Bren gunner is particularly impressive.

My newly build 1/32 Me262B and WB Russian figures.
The Russians have captured one of the German night fighter Me262s grounded due to mechanical failure.

My father has pushed his Spitfire aside to work on this for a while.

28mm La Hay Sainte from a company called 4 GROUND. Web images of completed model. HUNDREDS of color printed laser cut wooden parts. A bit more than I bargained for. Lift off roofs, detailed interiors, the works. Took me two evenings , some cursing, glued fingers , sliced thumb. but I have the large barn and a small piggery put together.
I had considered buying resin buildings from HOVELS in the U.K. but decided I was too lazy to paint it and since this set claimed pre painted, just some glue and clipping of parts, what could go wrong there?
Oh well, I'm determined.

I know that your dad is quite the prolific builder, but I suspect that one will keep him busy for an afternoon (or so).:)

He only took a break from the Spitfire when it became more putty than plastic.

Ugh, that doesn't sound good. I think that he started with this one:

Because he was having trouble acquiring this one:

Do I have that right? As I recall the sixties-era Spit went together just fine. The problem with it was that it didn't have any dihedral on the wings, and was, therefore, kinda funny-looking. The second kit is really a Hasegawa Mk.V kit with some new parts which allow it can be ported over to a Mk.1 or Mk.2. If the first kit "went to putty" on your father, he must have picked a "bad apple" or one that was improperly stored all these years. Anyway, sorry to hear about it.:(

Just the buildings. I already have thousands of painted troops. Far more French than I can really deploy at once, including La Garde.

I bought the WARLORD collectors set too that did have all the bonus troops. KGL, 95th , French Sappers, piles of dead ect ect.

Now , I have x 2 sets of buildings. 4 Ground is a much more detailed and far more complicated to put together. I'll post images with some troops once finished.
