August and September's bits and bobs sorted
and waiting for the attic door to open, there's a Sandown Show's worth here (September's)
along with several bags of moshlingkinderpops from a charity
shop! Looking at it; we've had about 40% on the Blog already, the rest will be
filtered-in over the next X-years!
On the left are my show purchases at Sandown
Park last weekend, less the stuff I purchased from Mercator which are on the right, there's a scale distortion, with
the right image having been collaged bigger than the left image. We looked at
the Lucky dude the other say, the
rest are very-much on the back-burner, but we may look at the two Cherilea animals as the paint is so
good!
This lot came from 'Jim' who was supposed
to send me his eMail or feeBay ID so I could credit him properly, but he
forgot! Anyway he's a fan, or at least visits the blog and let me have these
for very little money and there's all sorts of interesting stuff to be filtered
into future posts.
I feel a little guilty about the Charbens Guards, as I had them, thinking - in poor light - they
were the rubber HK-manufactured ones and because they were in a large bag which
was useful for putting the rest of the sortings in and it wasn't until I got
them home I realised they were what they were, and I already have them - in
similar condition, so I'll take them back to him at the show in March!
A certain S.P. tried to liberate the Marx Wild West lady within seconds of my
paying for her, but I will do a comparison with all the other versions next
time I get the Marx box out, so she
stayed!
This was the floor findings at the end of
the show! The suitcase opens (dolls?) and the astronaut is from Dinky's moon-buggy I think?
Jim has been trying to bring a load of bits
and bobs to the show for me for a while, but with table moves and such-like it
didn't happen for a couple of shows, and he had it ready for last Saturday but
forgot to put it in the car. Kindly he posted it to me, and on Wednesday
this-lot turned-up mid-morning!
All sorts of interesting bits and pieces,
but mostly one's or two's, so things which will filter-in to future posts;
gap-fillers rather than 'box-tickers'!
Does anyone recognise or know the origin of
the 6" GI? He looks to be from a larger toy, with base-plugs on his feet,
possibly a heavy-weapons crew-member or AFV mechanic? I'm guessing 1970's or
early '80's, Hasbro, Kenner or Mattel type 'Big Box' toy of some kind?
Other highlights are some nice flats, two
funnimals, a Blue Box knight with
original kerthunker (I believe students of such things refer to them as
maces!), a lovely stacking policeman in an early styrol; I've only previously
seen clowns like that, various bits of Cherilea and a Hong Kong cave man, he's
often found with his fig-leaf missing so nice to get him fully-wardrobed.
We will look at the Gem (here carded as 'Ge-Models')
bagged set in close-up soon, do a comparison of those paratroopers with some
we've seen here, some of the Khaki types can go to that page and the Bergan/Beton-horsed figures will go on
the Airfix page dealing with them, so
all useful grist to the mill and thank you Jim.
=======================================
In addition to the above; Small Scale World
has received two parcels from Peter Evans, some of which have been blogged,
some still to come, various other Charity shop bargains (some still in edit),
again some in the queue of articles, some sorted into the pile, one headed for
the still-in-edit composition page (don't ask!), and there have been some stand
alone things like the boardgames.
Brian Berke has sent lots of shelfies in the
last three months, and I've been taking a few, I also weakened and bought
something - previously seen as a shelfie - today (a few days ago in Blog-time),
which will post tomorrow and there was Ed Berg's package of 1950's Khaki
polymer. It's been a good autumn - thanks all!
