Old Britain’s Japanese Infantry. Adam Falkoff’s Own.

A bit of back to Basics today… how those old minis managed to survive some generations of children is always amazing. Enjoy.

Prussians get a flag…

It is not the same unit of course!… but I thought it would be nice to compare…

Definitely a Toy Soldiers Post today… harmless and beautiful…

That box started it all…

Britain’s extra large set (two trays) Coldstream Guards… fantastic gift from my parents!

Now, that brought along a lot of reminiscences… seen in an Auction in the USA… not that I am going to bid at all… I had the real thing at the time it was needed…

I already had a lot of plastic, rubber and aluminium toy soldiers… but that box suddenly become the apex of my loot!

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics but they were really small.

As you all know I was hooked on Toy Soldiers for life…

Britain’s Cavalry

There are probably one of the nicest toy soldiers around, Britain’s Cavalry are almost always splendid casts. Nowadays only REPLICA manages to get the spirit of them.

Cavalry was redundant at the end of the XIXth but no one had the courage to tell them… Magnificent example of a good conversion and painting job.

Swedish Cavalry for a change… as seen in Facebook

Fascination with Toy Soldiers is a mild disease I guess…

Transport

A much neglected piece in many collections of Toy Soldiers… this is a lovely example.

My armies have no casualties, sorry about that… for me Toy Soldiers never die… and of course I found annoying the idea of wounded and streach-bearers… I am particular about that. So there you have it an on purpose incomplete set.
