It’s all stunning stuff, especially the St. Petersburg vignette of the oxen pulling the canon, but the WWII British pub scene is my favorite. Thank you for sharing your spectacular collection!

Love the officer's mess.
I tried to get the castings from Sarum.
Unfortunately , due to a death, they are out of business.

I know Dave’s daughter helped him a lot. I’m hoping with time she takes over and jumps back in.

I've decided to add other things in my collection here as well - not just toy soldiers. I hope you enjoy!


I've been grabbing up some coronation cups to add to my collection.

The first is the Coronation cup of Csar Nicholas II. It is also referred to as The Khodynka Cup of Sorrows.
"The beaker is among many that were distributed along with food presents and commemorative scarves to celebrate the coronation of Nicholas II, as had been the long-standing tradition. On the morning of 18 May 1896, over half a million revelers gathered on the ragged Khodynka Field in Moscow in anticipation of the presents and especially the commemorative cups (enameled tableware was still a great novelty at the time). That was far more than the field could safely accommodate, especially considering the many trenches and pits that dotted the plain in front of the Tsar's podium, because the entire area was normally used as a military training ground. A rumor swept through the crowd that the cups contained a gold coin. In the confusion and stampede that ensued, over a thousand people were trampled to death in what has become known as the Khodynka Tragedy. This event was taken as an omen of things to come for the rest of Nicholas' reign. The coronation cup became known in Russia as the Cup of Sorrows and the Tsar himself got the nickname of "Bloody Nicholas" – despite his best efforts to compensate the families of the victims. It was the Tsarina who named it the "cup of sorrows."

This is the coronation cup of George V of England from 1911

Very cool. Love that cup.

These two beauties just came in the mail.
I generally dislike when companies use the same figure and just repaint it, but I fell in love with these two, so still got them
The first is Bailen of Jerusalem and the second is Leopold V of Austria
