And I have a sense of humor.

Hello everyone, or the 3 people that read this. I'm a collector out of the Boston area and I recently have come into possession of a massive collection of figures. Despite my father doing modeling his whole life, this is an area that I'm just not familiar with. I have many items bnib such as two Le Hussard de Marais Mounted kits of the Duc de Lauzun, kit number 90/12 which is how I found this forum, to about 100 W. Britain figures including many John Jenkins Limited collections.

There's many figures, all old that I hope to get some guidance on from here. If you are looking to add to your collection or are missing something from your collection please watch for my posts. As of now, I have so much that asking me if I have XYZ will take some time. Most likely, as I inventory I'll make posts, sharing what I've identified. I see from the marketplace rules I have to have 50 posts prior to selling.

So I'll make informative posts identifying what's in my collection and you can feel free to message me.

Stay tuned, and thanks for having me.

You sound like our kind of fellow. Welcome aboard.

That's a trigger word. Old .. Iam old and I can't wait to see what treasures you might have. Welcome to the site

Thank you.... and yes, old is a relative term. I'm juggling civil war/American revolution artifacts and weapons, model and toy cars, and figures. I've got a Dinky Toys commander in my hand as I write this. I will hopefully start identifying posting about the figures over the next few days and as early as today.

Actually, while I'm here, where would be the best/appropriate place to start posting about my collection. Off this thread or in another area?

Thanks *tips hat*

Post something here, as good a place as any to start. You seem like an interesting person.

Welcome to the Planet!

Not to discourage you from posting here, but for the commercially finished figures, like Britains or John Jenkins, and other brands, you might also want to have a look at the Treefrog Toy Soldier Forum. The majority of members there are collectors, with a small group of painters (I'm one). Hobby Bunker's forum is another one made up mostly of collectors.

For figure kits, I think you'll find a lot of interest here.

Having said that, I look forward to seeing your posts and the items in that stash!

Prost!

Thanks everyone. Like I said, this is not my specialty. I do have MANY kits and loose figures not touched as well as painted. When I make acquisitions, I usually end up appreciating and falling in love with a new area. As I mentioned, my father did this so I can definitely see myself branching out into this. I have zero knowledge which is why I came here. I want to share what I have and pictures to start identifying what it is I have and whether it's something I want to keep or pass on.

For those looking for specific items that I might have please include a picture as well, as it'll help me identify what it what. The word novice does not do me justice. I'm the flea on the cat living under the novices back porch right now.

Wish you good sales and ... perhaps fill firts a cabinet with some pieces of yours ... will you keep them ?

Thanks for the insight. I joined treefrogtreasures, but I'm not able to post yet. I've reached out to the admins so we'll see.

When I make acquisitions, I always find myself in new waters. I usually will sell items that are more common, or I wouldn't be able to appreciate as much as someone else. In doing my research I find the gems and typically will keep those. Though with this recent foray I have multiples which allows me to retain one and pass others on.
