Cheers Peter-glad my Belgian Wife is not so angry while i search Zeeland and surrounding Belgie during our vacation for model shops-but it seems they are rare like a pearl in an oyster :roll: or do you have any hints?????

I knew one in Veurne (no adress, Belgian coast), and one in Antwerp/Borgerhout (http://goudengids.truvo.be/Modelbouw/Ba ... 7475_00000)

And this one is good for scenery (he stopped with figures some years ago, but he had the whole range of manufacturers): http://goudengids.truvo.be/Modelbouw/Ve ... 7475_00000

Hopes this helps you a bit ;-)

Hi Frank, no i won't :lol:

and Benno, it's just the "flea-market" in Voorburg. I go there for ten years now i think and in al those years i haven't even seen a single figure. Not even a arm or a leg..... :lol:

ps. When i came home from the market i had put the boxes on the table and went to the toilet (the exitement...) . When i came back my daughter had already opened the box of the fort apache and was trying to put it together.... Almost gave me a heartattack :lol:

Just like Remco I bought some things on Crisis 2010:

- Italeri Arab house
- Italeri Union artillery
- Italeri Union infantry
- Hat French light infantry Chasseurs command
- Three French ladies
- Bruno Arnal Napoleon and staff
- Zvezda Polish winged lancers (4 riders)
- Some scenery stuff

But the greatest treasure I found under a table in some cigare boxes:

- More as hundred figures of this set: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=74
- Almost hundred figures of this set: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=569
- Some figures of this set: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=474

And I will not tell the price I payd for these last, it makes me :oops: I thought I was back in 1978 ;-)
