A bag of Zombies, a bag of Corgi, a bag of farmers and bags more
other stuff! I think the ancients are by Applause
(or Toyway?) but haven't checked, they were in Plastic
Warrior a while back and I think I may already have them and some of the
doctors & nurses (or Egyptians?) in storage, but they were cheap and I know I need some
bases, so I bought them!
The bag top left may have been from Brian
or Trevor, or someone else who should get a name check, but I can't remember
who gave it to me or whether I bought it! I do remember a discussion with
someone over its contents which are rack-toy mainly, Marty and Marty-clones, a
few Airfix-clones, some Bravestarr Galaxy Rangers (Hing Fat?) and a smattering of DFC fantasy, a diver and some ninjas!
Apologies for the question marks but I've
been busy in the garden all week and am now writing this at 5am Friday as I
have to go to Basingrad tomorrow-today and then it's Sandown the next day!
A bit blurry but it's too late to re-take
it - half the stuff was put away a week ago! Mostly from Adrian Little's Mercator Trading stall and it's 'spot
the highlight' really! A bit of Polish, a bit of Premium, Lone Star sailor in good paint with both flags, a really nice Tudor Rose Walker of a bear, the Airfix has already gone on that blog and
it's not just the Airfix flat trees I've got 'a thing' about - flat scenery just goes so well behind the
figures on shelves!
We've seen most of this now, I'm not sure
what's in the bag bottom left, some Marx
'HO' bits maybe and an Aberdeen Angus from China? Dunno what the two silver
bits are! A couple of nice Merten's
and a camp-fire; well - if you haven't got a camp-fire you won't stay warm
huh?!
Fontanini PVC cow from the Middle East via Italy! The Kellogg's/Peek Frean's/Tatra chap was only got for the MIP
element! The 'Japan' made bear looks to be a plaster-filled celluloid model,
but is in-fact a very solid, heavy, styrene one.
I think I've got a better Monaco guard (?)
somewhere with his trouser still painted (from the 2009 PW show?), but at a
show everything's a bit hurried and the odd thing gets through that afterward
you think 'Did I really need to?' and he may be one of them. I love the jeeps,
only HK rack-toy tat, but early'ish, in good nick and one's clearly a Rooskie -
in red!
Mid sort and something's sticking out like
a sore thumb, not the semi-flat sailor-boy charm in orange-red (actually - he
is a bit!), not the green rack-toy diver, nor the blue French cheapie combat
infantryman, not even the yellow paratrooper, no, what's shining like a diamond
in the rough is a rather tatty, damaged key-ring, earworm disguised as. . .
Bargain!
