Following on from the previous posts and
getting the obvious title above them, this is a quick look at one of the 1:32nd
scale sets, non-military.
Taken from the Country-Life line, and in a
third graphical style, I believe this set dates from around 1999 - the date may
be on the reverse of the card but it went to storage before I bought the lovely
A3 scanner I'm now using!
It is in the catalogue we saw in the
previous post, but that example is in the brighter green graphics and sharing
an assortiment code; 05232 with seven other sets - again, there may be a
numerical with this one, but it'll be on the back with the bar-code, so whether
it's the same or not I can't say!
Not the best shots I'm afraid, sometimes direct,
bright sunlight just washes the camera out, it doesn't happen often, but summer
seems to be when! Bottom left has the foot figure showing the course to one of
the 'spare' horses, the other three shots are of the wall jump and show-jumper. PVC horses and figures, 'styrene accessories and 'ethylene plants.
Not up to the overall quality of the Britains sets/figures, it holds-up well
against the Parker-Palitoy set and
the less common Thomas Salter set
with it's Hong Kong copies of the Britains,
add the three Corgi figures from the alternate
offerings of Horse Box and with all the above you can mount quite the equestrian
event these days . . . Pony in my Pocket
also had various obstacles for show-jumping.
