B is for Bonus Booty Bounty!

Right, it's been too hot, did anyone notice, it's been just too warm to do much beyond get to work, drag oneself into the shower, and catch up on sleep lost elsewhen! Also, I've had a head-cold since Monday afternoon, I'm only just escaping, now, so I've had two reasonable reason-excuses for my posting tardiness!

 

Did I mention there was a toy soldier show last weekend? Well, there was, and I went! However, and due to their connections, one way or another, and the fact I haven't photographed them quite the same as in some previous years, I'll be including some stuff in the final thematic posts, which I didn't actually get, on the day.

 

This post covers those two 'intros', and then we'll have an overview, or sorting shots, and then I might have started shooting the posts I was intending to shoot each night this week, but which heat and health prevented! I mean, you know as a well as I do; man-flue feels potentially fatal, while you've got it! Especially when you've been scheduled a six-day work-week and the Sun's going supernova!

 

And, while I blurb this up, I'm listening to this new discovery on YouTube;

So, on the Friday before the show, I popped-over to a mate's house, to help with show-stuff, as, due to various factors, some car-sharing on the day was involved, but as a result I got this, the contents of a small-scale and bits drawer, which I have, due to its relationship with the events the next day, included in the sorting of that other plunder! Especially as it increased one of the 'themes of the day' by a third!

 

And while I was also supposed to pick this up on the Friday, only to then hope it turned-up on the Saturday, before actually taking delivery on the Sunday, I've also sorted it into the loot-posts!

 

It was actually from John Curry, of the History of Wargaming Project blog - being a few items from his evilBay account, and while I didn't see him there on the day, he used to do the shows, and I well remember, him and his brother having a stall at Dave McKenna's Birmingham shows, back in the day, which always had interesting stuff, so, it's in, for the complete Plastic Warrior weekend plunder pile!

 

Also, as these are seen above, and stay together in the 'mocherette' zone, I haven't sorted them into the thematic piles, and they might as well go here, it's not exactly a set-the-world-alight post, but it's a start! Mostly Kinder, with a few Italian (Barlux/BMG) in the top left-hand corner, and a few Westair (et al) in the bottom left corner, along with one of their newer, soft poured-metal figures in 50mm, bottom-centre.
