A is for Arabs

Continuing with the images I took as I was putting away Tuesday's plunder we arrive at a quick comparison of the various Arabs available in polyethylene in the late 1950-1960's for the recreating of Beau Geste or Lawrence of Arabia type scenarios on the carpet.

A motley bunch of mostly blade-wielding ner-do-wells and self explanatory as far as the makers go - everyone seems to have taken Timpo's lead, in colours if not poses! Cherilea's Arabs (and the accompanying Foreign Legion) are often brittle and mine's no exception with a split across the base.

The two from Charbens are both damaged; missing the butt's of their rifles and making them look even more like the Timpo pose they were taken from, but they also look like they're holding clubs - so they stay.
