Taken from the Shilham Miniatures catalogue, Google suggests they are no longer around, but they were about ten years ago and other suppliers still exist.
CRESCENT TOYS: MEDIEVALES

About Me
- Hugh Walter
- No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
- I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

F is for Follow-ups; Recent'ish Posts!
A trio of shots I've taken in the last few
months which add a little to posts seen here in the second half of last year.
In August last year we looked at the Star Rider Space City play set by Soma, to which I have added a few of the
missing green versions to the loose figure stash, giving the above line-up.
There is - at time of publishing - another one on feeBay, which has the
outer box-lining missing from mine, unfortunately the postage from Australia is
a bit sheesh!
While in November 2020 a quick post on some Polish swaps and a Russian gun covered some plastic flats which I
mentioned were from old home-casting moulds, probably Schneider, the above shows one of the plastics against a modern
home-casting mould catalogue, to show they are still around!
Finally, last November I did a quick post
on 'what had come in' re. birds/poultry, and within weeks of posting it had found the
above! Anti-clockwise from the top left; a resin owl (who's trying to escape the photograph?!!); a novelty kettle-whistle
(possibly French); a Culpitt (et al)
'love-doves' wedding-cake decoration; a vinyl duck (possibly Macau-via-Portugal),
and another PVC piece; a vulture of unknown origin, which could be Wild West toy
related? It keeps coming in!
