Collecting Toy Soldiers – Page 19

Britain’s smaller scale…

I have always collected 54mm traditional Toy Soldiers… but you can not denie those smaller figures are charming too!

Those are from Graham Hilditch.

Some sailors marching. (Pic seen in Facebook)

Vignettes to end a collection…

You must be tired of my wanderings, but that surely completes the big cabinet.

Now, if only Andrew Stevens admits orders in September I would be sorely tempted in adding three or four figures to the other cabinet…

Nurses and a Medical Officer (STEADFAST)

And the Military Policemen set by STEADFAST

Could not resist adding Lestrade (Plian Clothes Detective STEADFAST)

A BIG BANG!…

Where can French Chasseurs charge British Infantry? ,,, answer: In A Gentleman’s War…

Much more my kind of Artillery… BTW see the face of the General seen his Hussars flee!

It all started with a BIG BANG… but today I have decided to take a rest… as The Kinks sung I’ts Too Hot!…

Shall I post in the future Yep never fear… as a matter of fact I will add a Post today of my pet subject… the ACW… finally decided to update the Post before this one with an ACW pic… it is good to go with a BIG BANG!

Back to Barracks…

Hilditch’s own (42mm Series B Britains painted to a high standard a la Dilley!)

Got other pics to post but this one appeared today in Facebook and got my eye… you can do much worse and not much better. Enjoy.

Military Band

A particular subject painting tartan (in a class of their own)

Military Modelers seem to enjoy the challenge of painting tartan… see here a quite fine example.

Old timers

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…
