Pictures from 54mm Toy Soldier Show - Chicago

Post by 18th Century Guy » Sat Oct 02, 2010 2:01 am

I attended the OTS (Old Toy Soldier) show in Chicago over last weekend. I have some pics on my blog. Even though most of it doesn't relate to us the figures are beautiful so I thought I'd share. Enjoy.

The photos are amazing. We sometimes live in our own world of 28mm , grudgingly recognise 15mm and don't realise that there are others around that take the hobby seriously in larger scales. I think could almost convert to 54mm naval gaming if I had the cash and room to acquire that HMS Victory.

Port, Old Chap, preferrably a ten-year-old.
