Speaking of Mr. Horan, his work was very inspiring as always. As most if not all of the works on display are customized and scratchbuilt figures, it is easy to see why Bill Horan is so highly regarded in the field of historical figure sculpting. The photos below are all his work.

Holy cow! What a high calibre of talent! And I must say your presentation of the show was very nicely put together. Thanks for all the effort you put into identifying the individual pieces.
Great Job!
I'd love to think that the horse blankets/covers on the russian figures were decals, but I'm guessing they aren't...it absolutely blows my mind.
Thanks again Jim,
John

First off, THANK YOU for taking all those photos, and posting them, enjoyed seeing them all.
1. It was good to see the fellow members.... including Harrison..... LOL :-) :-) Now I know what the young fellow I chat with looks like.....
2. Loved the figure of Yogi Berra..... today is his 80th birthday, and he lives right down the road from me in Monclair, but alast, he forgot to send me the invatation to his BBQ. The older he gets, the more he looks like my step-father did......
:-) :-) :-)
3. What a wonderful surprise to see Dave Kennedy still going strong...... Back in our younger days we bent many an elbow down at the old Chester show.... (MFCA) Us old guys still have our favorite Dave Kennedy stories from those shows, and my van...... :-) :-) :-) :-)
4. Totally amazing work..... one of these days, I'll have to make that show.... probably after I retire, and hit the lottery.... :-) :-) :-)
5. Jim was from Turkey yesterday, France today..... where will he be from tomorrow??????
Once again Jim, thanks for taking the time to take the photos, and posting them.
