This is a really nice display of larger scale collectible and wargame figures – many of which are placed on great looking scenery displays. The site where this is held is a great historic site from the Whiskey Rebellion. If you are in the area this is worth a visit. |

There will be 10 displays covering all scales of figures and various periods that highlight British military traditions. Traditional toy soldier displays include a base camp in India, the Trooping of the Color and a Victorian army field day, featuring hundreds of figures. In 68mm, there will be a large diorama of an encounter between British and French troops in North America, utilizing the John Jenkins/ King & Country type figure. In the 25/28 mm range are a Rorkes's Drift diorama, Napoleonic War in Spain display and WW2 Arnhem/ Market Garden theme vignette. On hand will a be a professional figure painter demonstrating painting techniques. And much more demonstrating a high level of military modeling art. |
