MIniature Figure Collectors of America Show 2014

Pat Deluhery and I set up a figure display at the 74th Miniature Figure Collectors of America show, May 2014, at Valley Forge.  We split the award for best toy soldier display.


 
I also had on display a Painted bust of Monty as a tribute to the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.   To add some interest I posed him with some King & Country WWII English Pipers.
 
I have been mixing the 2 art forms of Painted busts with commercial pieces in displays as can be seen below in this display of WWII Leaders
