No more than a box-ticker, as it's a small
sample from the larger scale 120mm 'pick & mix' range, with a few
caption/notes, they are a hard'ish, dense, surface-stable PVC, so no sticky
paint, but I don't think I've ever see sticky Fontanini, that weepie-shit tends to come from Hong Kong!
The happy family, separate baby in another
basket of straw!
Shepherds and sheep.
Kings/Wise Men/Magi x3
Larger animals and another shepherd, two
up-pipes and two down-pipes, Fontanini
do several different designs across their range/sizes, with one or two down-pipes (reeds) and
1-4 pointing up, I haven't looked up the difference, but here's a link to the background
stuff;

I have a much better sample of the 40mm and a few
of the 60mm sets in storage somewhere, so when they all come together we'll
have a better look at all the rustic/rural personages another year!

ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! Yes! It has the looks of a wizards staff! It could probably use some hot-water reshaping too! I thought - at this scale - the faces were quite well done?
