This is so cool. I have often thought about this. I have everything you have and more except for the Chintoy and Expeditionary force Russians. I never thought of creating a box. The box is awesome.
I stumbled onto your video this morning. Fantastic idea. I love it. I was wondering if you made the buildings and other structures yourself. They look hand made and are beautiful. Would love to see the techniques. Nice work!
Just stumbled on this, nice work. I'm currently working on a 1:32 'space outpost' set for a youngster. Got the TimMee Galaxy Laser Team SPACE Figures and added some SCS Robots and SCS humans vs aliens, one of each gives me enough for two sets, and added a couple of de-winged dragons. Built a couple of shuttle craft ships, a couple of buildings, a forest and some mountains. Plan is to use some Army Men (modified by winding thread around the rifles to make them 'laser rifles') but it would be nice to find some 'space soldiers'. Couple of makes I wasn't aware of there, I'll go hunting to see what I can find. I give my sets away to less well off families and I'm retired so living on a pension, hence price is an issue and I tend to look for cheap Chinese knock-offs. 54mm is ideal for 3-7 year old youngsters (1:72 for older kids) but there is not so much available these days and prices tend to be for those with fond memories and deep pockets. Worth it though, the kids seem to get a lot of pleasure from them. They play with them in the same way we did 60 years ago, this set is for a 4 years old who's imagination was fired by re-runs of Fireball XL5!
@@paulknappcollections Thanks. I like the look of some of the furniture sets (better than I can make) and the sci-fi armoured cars would save me a lot of work but they are expensive in the UK. I'll check on e-bay
Great playset! Iam currently making a D-Day diorama in 1/72 scale. I would love to have Nostalgic Toy Box company make a box for it. Do they have a website?
No website but if you go to their ebay store and just tell them what you want they will make a box for you. You can pick whatever you want the box to say and whatever pictures. Great company with 2 size boxes.
TSSD offered a Battle of Stalingrad playset several years ago... but Paul their playset pales in comparison to your super badass Battle of Stalingrad playset lol! Awesome job, Paul! Where do I buy one?! LOL
@@paulknappcollections I was referring to your playset altogether lol. But yes, I heard about them making custom playset boxes to order. Great niche from our hobby to get into. One of these days I will have to make my dream playset. Cheers!
very cool - nice battlefield arrangement!!! i love it :)
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the support Chris. No most of the terrain is foam pieces I purchased but I did paint everything. Thanks for watching
That's an amazing playset! You have your Romanians on the wrong side, though. They were with the Axis powers.
Thanks for the info. I had no idea. Appreciated.
Toy Soldiers of San Diego made a ROAD TO STALINGRAD playset in a nice illustrated box, and CTS made a STALINGRAD set, but put it in a generic box.
Yes I do recall the TSSD one but I had so much stuff I needed to create my own. Thanks for watching
Amazing job & yes someone sud have made this set.
Thanks for watching.
Outstanding set, if CTS sold that it would go for three bills plus I bet.
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it

Checkout the accesories and a things BMC Toys sells. They have some space looking items in 1/32 scale.

What website did you purchase this diorama set from it looks great unpainted
I believe it was Classic Toy Soldiers way back in the day. Sorry it was years ago.
Thanks

I made it myself however the box can be purchased on ebay from Nostalgia Toy Box. They make any playset box you want.

@@paulknappcollections So true. Great guy. he has made some nice custom boxes for me.
One omission. Atlantic Russians!
Yes I keep all my Atlantic sets seperate. I never mix vintage items with reissue. I'm just weird like that. LOL
Yeah it's great. I love it... but thats a Daimler armoured car ( British) .... 'otherwise fantastic.
Yep
the airfix russians have a few non-airfix poses mixed in
I'll need to check it
2:35 one guy is german ;-P
The Italeri set? I thought so but wasn't sure. Need to see if I have a set of tan germans somewhere. Thanks for the catch
Bisschen durcheinander gebracht......
Not sure what you mean
That. Is a lot. Of Russians.
I tried to find ever plastic Russian set there is.
@@paulknappcollections See my reply. Atlantic is a must because of their field guns that are included in their figure sets.
