The other day I hauled out several hundred of my Sudan 60mm toy soldiers and set up a diorama in my basement, depicting the charge of the 21st Lancers at the Battle of Omdurman. Winston Churchill and even Harry Flashman are on the scene. All of the figures are Trophy of Wales toy soldiers. Click on the link to my blog, below, and get ready for a veritable sea of eye candy as there are lots and lots of pictures like the one shown in this post. link

Great stuff.

It's always nice to see such wonderful toy soldiers get out of the storage boxes and onto the tabletop. You've got such a lovely collection. I especially like the British officer on the grey with the Mauser pistol as young Winston.

Ragbones: the figure was sold as "Young Winston at Omdurman " so he's the real deal. We are scheduling a Sudan toy soldier game in September based on the Battle of Firkit, which features an all-Egyptian army commanded by then-colonel Kitchener fighting the Dervish. This will be a nice change of pace from having British troops versus the Dervish.
