A trawl through old stuff brought these photos of from the December 2018 London Toy Soldier Show to light. To be honest I felt they were a bit too fuzzy and not interesting enough to post at the time but with the dearth of shows at present I thought I'd give them an airing.
Above and below are scenes from a King & Country VietNam diorama.
If WW2 in the Pacific floats your boat here are a few more diorama shots from King & Country
At the time of writing, the London Toy Soldier Show on 27th June has just been cancelled, so we keep our fingers crossed for the next one on 5th December. The Herne Show run by Peter Bergner is scheduled for 5th July, Germany seems to be opening up slightly ahead of the rest of Europe. The old Birmingham show, known as the Midlands Toy Soldier Show is moving to a new location in Stoke on Trent on 27th September. Our local car boot fair is due to reopen next Sunday, so if nothing else I can look forward to a long early morning walk around a field in the countryside with a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea at the end of it.

Hi Brian- Thanks for posting - certainly King & Country are superb 54mm - do like the Vietnam setting and I didn't know that a 1/32nd Iroquis Helicopter was available- just excellent! Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely figures, way out of my league, but I do rather like that neat little Japanese tank.
DeleteThanks for posting this Brian - I have my fingers crossed for the September show.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep mine crossed for you too, be interested to know what you make of the new venue.
DeletePerhaps the car boot sale may turn up some hobby delights to inspire you..
ReplyDeleteI do hope so, it can be very hit or miss but the thrill is always in the search. And it will be nice to see lots of people out even if we do look like something from Quatermass in our masks and rubber gloves.
DeleteBeautiful figures Brian but too realistic for me. I love "toy soldiers" and all of the charm that they possess. I cherish those glossy paint jobs, pink cheeks, and vague uniform and weapon details! They transport me back to my childhood which is looking better and better these days! Thank you for the new post Brian, they always make my day!
ReplyDeleteWay too realistic, sometimes I think the manufacturers push the boundaries too far.
