    one hundred ten kilts!!!!!

    I just counted and that is the total that I own. OK so thek are all on little toy soldiers. I got your attention though didn't I ? Does anyone else collect toy soldiers More specifically highland regiments? Blackwatch,Seaforths, Gordons even a New Zealand police regiment. I do have at least that # from a variety of manufacturers.Britains,King and Country,Srooby,Little Legion,Imperial and Ani. They are a lot of fun to collect and very colorful.

    No haven't started collecting soldiers yet - but I've got a room full of model trains and buses and aeroplanes, and lots of scale civilian figures to populate the model railway. I've seen a model railway layout with a miniature pipe band on it although I don't possess any kilted models myself.

    miniatures

    I don't collect highlanders, but I do collect miniature soldiers of a sort. Ever heard of Games Workshop? The space marines they make are another one of my many weaknesses.
    Michael, do you paint your mini's yourself? I'd like to see a few pics.

    There were lots of them on display for sale in the Scottish Shop at Gretna Motorway Services when I was in there last Saturday.
