Good to know they have gone to a good home

With regard to Michael Taylor of Cannock's collection of dioramas I was fortunate to have purchased all(I think all?) put up for auction,
including his large collection of flat aeroplanes. I believe some of his creations were kept by his family.
I shall cherish all the figures he painted and I regularly ponder over them all. A real treasure.

I bought the flats on eBay as I wanted some flats painted by my old friend. I was hoping to get one of his dioramas and have been watching for an auction but apparently they were auctioned off a short while ago, so a bit disappointed.

I got the 8 Prussian infantry for the same reason

In the BFFS we had two Mike Taylor's, Mike from Kent  the other Mike from Cannock in Staffordshire, I believe these are Mike "Cannock" Taylor figures.


Both great guys on longer with us.

I saw two sets on EBay.UK sold by them and one set already sold (for less tha 20 GBP), partly painted, not significant pieces, in my opinion.but I don't know Mike personally andabout the painter .... have a doubt

[Hannibal]

do you know how yo access the site, or do you have pictures of these flats?  Perhaps can be recognized as painted by him?

Seller (UK) is listing flats painted by “Michael Taylor.”


When questioned, seller states that it is not the author (so he knows who Michael Taylor is), but instead is a friend of the author with the exact same name.


Seller is using the name to sell the flats, but doesn’t note anywhere that the flats are not painted by THE Michael Taylor.


I find this misleading, personally.


Just informing for clarity in case any of you come across those listings.
