And it also means I'll not be doing eMails
until next week either, I'm dreading it as I know there'll be 800-odd in the
inbox, and 400-odd in junk, at least ten of which will have to be found and
'safed' before I block the rest! I have just done the comments here.
A quick dates post; not much this week, and
an H
is for . . .,

Received With Thanks
Although I haven't answered my eMails, I
did glance at them a while back (last Friday?) and downloaded imagery from
Brian and Chris I think? So thanks to both of them and I will answer everyone
next week (Tue/Wed., probably; on Monday I'll have to post!)

H is for How They Come In
I only managed one bag this week, which I
picked-up in Basingrad; charity shop of course! I also got some more
stretchy-aliens on the way back from town the other day, but I've done them as
a separate post.
A big bag of mostly Asian-sourced 'Army
Men', and at four-quid it was arguably a bit pricy, but I spotted a couple of
useful figures so it was worth the punt, and the over-spill will go back to
charity locally so everyone's happy in the end!
A studied study in disinterested distain - What? Cummon . . . there's no box, no paper, no
bubble-wrap and those PVC zippy-bags smell like a beach that's had a visit from
the Amoco Cadiz AND the little green
men-mice are all Hong Kong shite, I'll leave my nest and 'help' you when you
get something worth my 'helping' and not before!
The ones still in the bag are those
China-marked HTI ones we've looked at
both in detail and as shelfies, they are the common 'rack-toy' here at the
moment and will go back to charity once I've compared and pulled-out the
colour/pose variations missing from the 'master sample'.
The Airfix
Russians are part-playworn, but I think I'm missing the running guy in standard
grey, so a gap filled there and I have to check weather the US officer is the
late one or the common one. The US Para' clones are the ones issued by Henbrandt I think, although they also
appeared in similar generic header-cards.
The real reason for the investment was the
four at the top, which a casual perusal will reveal to be poor-copies of the CMV piracies, which - the quicker-minded
of you will have sussed - means I now have an excuse to shoot them with the CMV donation from Brian B and get them
on the Khaki Infantry page!
Next lot down are hollow-based Airfix-copy Germans, nothing special,
nor are the paler green lot, but they are interesting in having figures from
three other sets; Airfix para's and
US Infantry and Matchbox's Americans.
The last lot are the copies of Galoob something's, we've looked at them
here at Small Scale World before, briefly, but as on that occasion, I'dpoint you to Shaun's post which covers them fully.
More common German copies and I have a
bunch somewhere already, but with the colour variations I am anticipating
keeping a fair few of these, the same (unidentified) source produced them in
HO-compatible, 23mm as well.
