C is for Catch-up - Sandown Park - March

And H is for How They Come In . . . I've been a bit lax at getting the show reports out this year, well, I only do the five main ones these days and I've covered 20% of them already! This is going back to March's show at Sandown Park and a quick look at the plunder.

I think we've looked at the Fontanini dancers already, and I think the magnetic dancer was also levered into a post back in the summer, the tank too has been seen and will be seen again in a minute. The action figure-sized, non-action figure is - I suspect - a Dr. Who character figure?

While the three aircraft will be married-up with the growing piles of like craft for future posts, and the large black oblong is a horse riding ornament of which I have a better one somewhere, so we'll look at it another day.

The pirate is from Torgano and missing a base, but he's my only one so he stays! The two mocherettes are among the harder to find so come in useful for the forthcoming page on such things.

A couple of Blue Box diecast Romans were procured, the seller had hundreds of them but only the two poses, so I grabbed one of each as it had been a slow day, and I was watching the pennies.

The figures were piled in an old box, so had suffered a lot of scrapes and stuff, but worse, most of the pilums were broken or very bent and while I carefully found two which were OK, they weren't brilliant and need a bit of hot water and TLC.

As with most of the stuff we collect, and at the cost of repeating myself for the umpteenth time; these aren't rare, and we have seen them here before in a boxed set, while I already had an AEC armoured car, but these two were cheap (the seller had to ring his dad to get the price!) and that was after I told the chap they were Crescent, but with an odd scale and broken T34 gun-barrel I think he was glad to find a buyer?

Bibendum; the Michelin Man turned out to be a duplicate, and I think I bought him from the same seller as my previous 'find' (he's got a box full!), but you can't always remember everything you have in the heightened atmosphere of a show, and sometimes a split decision is the wrong call - I did the same thing a few weeks ago at the November show, with a Thunderbird figure from Xandria Holland key-rings!

While Adrian chucked me the Britains lion-cub painted as a tiger!

Loving these two, the capsule-toy type truck looks like a Mercedes Unimog, but is probably a Japanese or Chinese light-truck from the 1970's? The house is a solid lump of lead-flat, and with some age I suspect, but very much like similar stuff which would later be produced as margarine or similar premiums and the spirit-paint colour on the roof is  . . . err . . . delicious?

The floor is often a generous soul, and at the March show I did quite well with my end-of day sweep, a complete Airfix telegraph pole, British soldiers from Esci and Hong Kong, a Matchbox Super-King wheel, a train wheel and the power transfer clip from Hornby/Tri-Ang equipment made-up a useful harvest.
