So continuing from where we left off last night . . .
Mixed small-scale horses and Wild West
stuff around the 30-40mm rage, three Minimodels
Indians up top, they've lost their lances, but even when new they were often
missing, damaged or short-shot, so one day maybe a small conversion/modelling
project there?
Down the right-hand side we have horses
from Kinder, Lledo and the Revell/Lifelike et al stage-coach, with a wooden Erzgebirge
one, a small medieval one, possibly from those odd Blue Box micro-sets from the turn of the Century and a smashed-up
Rocco one.
You often find these in bags of bits, due
to their rarity people tend to keep the bits together, and enough bags of bits
might produce a cobble'able-together one for a photo one day, so they all go in
the box! And a cake dec' Indian!
Some other Erzgebirge bits,
including what I think is meant to be a rabbit hutch? Three small novelties from
gum-ball capsule-toy machines I think, a small semi-flat deer (should have shot it with the other three in the previous post!), and ice-cream man
(premium?) and an anodised Rat Fink!
The pig is a hollow/two-part polystyrene
affair, rather ice, but large and possibly from a farm vehicle? The preying
child/Putti/angel might be a cake decoration, but is - I suspect - from a larger nativity scene?
The Marx
Dinseykin 101 Dalmatian isn't broken; it's sort of
scratching itself with the other paws? New to me and I'm getting closer to a
full set of them, Puppy in my Pocket is the origin of the brown dude I think, while the
poultry turned-out to be from a Hubley
(or copy) farm truck of the larger-scale 'Tonka'
type.
Only a couple of paratroopers in the
December lot, but both interesting/new colours, so all grist to the mill and -
note to self - I must get on with that page! Slightly out of focus - sorry!
Seated/plug-in vehicle accessory fellah's;
the soldier on the left is new to me, and seems to be based, or part-based on
the Tri-Ang Minic amphibious lorry
crew? Theo van der Werden explained all the Tudor
Rose/Poplar firefighters to me, and while I haven't got them to hand, I do
have the notes for when we get them all on one page and make a final sense of
them all!
Tractor-driver is a post Blue Box copy of an ex-Corgi driver I think, racing driver
could be from anywhere, I have dozens and dozens of them and red, blue or black
helmets are as common as unpainted, so making sense of them will be a major job
one day, but I'm saving lots of eBay images in a folder to have a go! The
little torso is from a racing 'soap box' cart, Hong Kong after Manurba or Siku or someone similar!
Kinder; we looked at the spacemen the other day, and I have another cowboy
somewhere, but look at these two - a Mexican and a Sheriff! Same head, with
different hats, bodies and legs, I think they were around in the 1990/2000's?
Smallies, clockwise from top left; two Micromachines to compare base-marks with
the others, another Galoob; Action Fleet mini-action figure, Marx Miniature Masterpiece Charge of the Light Brigade figure and Blue Box resistance figter, Airfix RAF Recovery Set outrider, Minitanks
Russian AFV crewman (sans arms!) and two Tri-ang
Motorway figures, all good stuff!
Finishing off with the odd trio! A Mrs
Noah, a tad play-worn, but there are several types, so they are always useful,
the astronaut is from the Milton Bradley
playset Star Bird. While I believe
the slightly demented-looking gentleman on the right is another of the Homies figures!
Cheers again to Chris, another vintage lot
shared with the rest of us!
