Given how long it has been Jocks Moulds for TROPHY Miniatures have survived remarkably intact, despite the neglect during their sojourn in New Zealand.

Pas Mal for items decades old by now.

We have also got Moulds for early WW1 French Infantry (will also do for Franco Prussian War) in Kepi and early equipment.
(Ring Arms for the Rifle arm).

And of course, a couple Moulds for some Prussian German Soldiers from the same era.

He also sold TROPHYfigures as part of his London Shop stock back then.

My girl friend and me visited Old Jocks shop on my Birthday, not long before he retired.

We have Egyptian Sudanese Infantry, and Camel Riders, some Colonial Infantry, and some of his Victorians as well.
Hi. Thanks for the nice comment thread re Trophy. When my wife and i bought the rest of the former FLEURBAIX T S Company from New Zealand, we actually found a number of Old Jock Coutts Under Two Flags Mould toolings, which Jock had actualy made for TROPHY Miniatures.

Jock Coutts had some sort of working relationship, or arrangement, with Len Taylor of TROPHY back then, and made a number of Lens Moulds for TROPHY.
Does anyone recognise this from the Marlborough Delhi Durbar range? Bought with a lot of unboxed Marlborough but cant find the series number. The child may belongelsewhere and the table and pots and jugs may not be the barber'sIMG_7099.JPG

Wow!!! I really like the variety and colour in those photos! Thank you for sharing! The buildings are fantastic. Did you make those yourself? I noticed a variety of different scenes happening all around your displays including the monkeys being hunted by a tiger on the roof tops - brilliant!!! :)

Is the man climbing the rope by Errol John Studios?
I can supply some of the Romans right now, including the Mounted Tribune officer, note though, some toolings are under re tool or repair due to damage during shipping from the Port of Taranga N Z.

25/04/2025 I'm in Austria - Vienna, digging deeper into Kober's disappearance. Directors name for the Zinnfigure Museum in Katzelsdorf is Herr. Rieder, (very poor English, suggest have a hard copy of translated questions if you're going) the museum is well worth a visit. Any one have either info on Kober or troops in their possession? https://au.pinterest.com/europedriving

I've got a lot of Trophy: Civil War, Zulu War, Boxer Rebellion. Misc Napoleonic.
For far too many years China has dominated the Toy Soldier Market, however,n with suspicious ethics, questionable working practices and safety standards, and harsh, low wages and bad treatment of Personnel in general. Certain Producers whocharge the "earth" for their painted figures got rich this way, at the expense of our own home grown domestic internal toy soldier industry.

No more figures for 180 Notes when the girl who paints them gets paid fifty pence !!!!!! A Victory for the Western Industry, but likely misery for the thousands employed in China who now see their daily bread dry up......Mr Chan will now retire to Western Europe....and start uo all over again right here in town

Skill fairly paid is no sin. Good Business is a GOOD thing. Lets hope these unexpected changeslead to better times here in the West. We can now subject to Government policy, accept Chinese skill and Investments and produce our own products right here in town, how about that?????

Because customers reasonably expect to SEE apainted assembled Model example of the work they are buying, and the existing Product photos are with some exceptions, very old and inadequate, we are building NEW Display Models and NEW Photo shot and backgrounds to eventualy supersede the old materials.
Casting bins like this take the work to the cleaning and assembling room. We have to assemble hundreds of Display models oweing to not recieving a single one intact or even useful, from N Z. This is taking an eternity to do...But people wont buy products unless they SEE theya re good quality, and we have the bad repute of previous owners to overcome....1742720249123.jpeg
