Where to start! Top left to bottom right?
One of the 'home cast' guards, a French hollow-cast of an Indian army soldier,
two Zang, a Dinky mechanic and some bits; the die-cast 'plane will be from a
board game, worker is Wardie Mastermodels,
part of a Kellogg's puzzle jeep and a
baby!
The aluminium flats have been looked at
now, the corn stook is Speedwell, two
- probably board game - motorcycle flats (one lead the other possibly die-cast)
and a bunch of WHW's also now properly dealt with (and follow-upped on!). The
above were all saved for me by, or came from the stall of Adrian Little.
Also from Adrian the two upper rows; I
Blogged the Coma copies soon after retiuning to the Blog afetr Dad's passing,
the Romans have been covered before, both PVC and ethylene and the chariot,
plus copy, but they still need to be all brought together.
Bottom row may have been Adrian as well, I
can't remember, but they are I think generic Hong Kong copies of Monograme, rather than the thicker-based
ones Kent Sprecher has ascribed to one of the Marx HK factories.
Seen them a while ago - these were part of
a big 'score' of rack-toys I managed to secure in mid-afternoon, long after
everyone else had been past or over the guy's stall so I hate to think what I
missed!
Came from all over; Smoky the Bear tourist
trophy and flat sheep, followed by the robot and two aliens from Wilton, Mr Men
and another of the rack-toy stash - all covered in the last few months and the
floor sweepings were a bit poor, with a Space Marine back-pack and an F1
aerofoil!
Again from the rack-toy stall, and again, I
think we've seen most of them now. I think the basket-ball players may be
cake-decorations, but they could be from a board game? I've already fixed the
hand!
I think there were 17 sets in all, and
we've seen about a third of them since July, the rest will come, over time as
time allows or posts require. I anonymised them in this shot as I intended to
publish this back at the time, but as you know I took some time off and they
are now broken-up and put-away.
The May show was going to be two posts, but
with stuff that's already published and so on, I threw this bitty video
together, god knows what the Youtube regulars will make of it, but it's the
only way of getting it up here, so there it is!
A couple of things I shot on Adrian's
stand, the lovely privet-hedge horse and a long shot of the selling which takes
place in the hour between the gates opening to the car park and the doors
opening to the hall. And yes; malleable has two 'L's!
That last shot on the slide-show/video thingy; it is
interesting for showing the two strides of the Malleable Mouldings marines, with the third guy at full stride, the
other two taking shorter steps.
Note also that these must have come from an out-painter, as she (they were almost all female) has given-up painting the
first figure mid-way through the white with the red, black and silver still to
come, yet has added the gold to the helmet, over the [unfinished] white?

Bonjour à tous,
"a French hollow-cast of an Indian army soldier" est désigné dans le Tisné/Doublet, plomb creux, tome 3, comme étant une fabrication X.R. (Xavier Raphanel),une des plus ancienne manufacture de soldats de plomb française (1895-1935).
Il n'appartient à aucune série. C'est le seul Hindou de la collection et fait partie de ces pièces un peu originale et hors-norme que les marques aimaient rajouter parmi leurs traditionnelles poilus 14-18, sans que l'on sache vers où il voulait aller.
Très bonne journée
hindou arme au pied
Merci-bon plagiatiéȇrè!
