I am home now - but there are some at my office too. My RAF airfield (K&C), IDF airplane collection and a few shelves of random figures


like I said.....I Have a problem!!! hahaha {sm4}

It's a hell of a collection. Thanks for the photos.

You're going to need a bigger house!

 

[Bessieres]

This is in the bedroom (and they wonder why I'm single! {sm3})

no reason to wonder... no woman would put up with it - unless of course she had a wing of the house all to herself..

your collection is awesome {bravo}}

 

[jrsteel]

Great collection. I like that you have all different types of toy soldiers.

Zach,
Awesome!!! I like what you did with the Eden Dio. I bought one too, I think there are only 3 or 5 of us I can't remember. I hope you don't mind, but I am going to add that Blackhawk set too!!!

Go get em tiger!!!
I love those figures!

 

[zblang]

The following are from Marlborough Military Miniatures. To me MMM is still one of the true values in this hobby. They are such great little glossy figures and the prices are completely reasonable in my book. The following are from the Delhi Durbar line and are the following sets:

Peacocks & Monkeys Marlborough Military Models D53
Tea in the Shade Marlborough Military Models D77
Bath time Marlborough Military Models D81
Flower Seller Marlborough Military Models D89

 

[zblang]

These I am not sure about. They were part of a lot of figures that I bought. They are K&C Seaforths, but I don't think they are a set. Maybe individual figures or part(s) of other sets. If you know, let me know!

Wow! You have a great collection Zach. It is really impressive. Are the Durbar elephants displayed in the den curios the ones from Beau Geste that you picked up at the last Old Toy Soldiers auction?

Zach...

I have never seen anyone's collection grow as fast and be as diversified as yours...

I'm truly jealous and amazed at the sheer mass and variety...

are you ready to open a museum or at least move to a larger house?...^&grin...

The only elephant I got from the auction is the travancore one. He's in the bottom picture on the left. The others I already had.

Absolutely, but you have to bring your own toys - I don't share well with others!

I agree with everything that has been said about your collection. It is very well displayed. The volume and diversity is breathtaking.

BTW: Did you ever go to the Open House event if Jim Hillestead? He ultimately built a house to display his toy soldiers. He opens it twice a years for the public. It is near East Stroudsburg.

 

[Julie]

Instead of a museum.....Just open as a themed B&B!

I've been in touch with him, but still haven't made it out there. Definitely of the "to do" list!
