M is for Mes Matelots de la Marine!

Well, I nearly published these this afternoon, since when two other posts have published Starlux of one sort or another, that's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes, never sure if it's coincidence or synergy?

 

Not sure if we've had a brief look at these before or not, either, maybe as an early show-plunder post?, anyway, here they are, again? I have a similar box of WWII/post-war French Army figures which Andy Harfield saved for me years ago, it's closed (no window), but has the same ratio of fresh-air to figure-plastic, but on three shelves!

 

It's been 'restored', by me, poorly, by which I mean I usually make more effort, here I just taped some tears back down, and you can see the 3M clear tape on the window, but it holds it all together, I suppose!

The 30mm figures, they have been mucked about with, there should probably be a standard-bearer, and the four pure-white ones are almost certainly additions, they haven't the ultraviolet (or paper/card acid?) yellowing of what were probably the originals.

 

Lots of Starlux here at Eurofigurines
