“Sixties” BRITAINS: That box started it all.
Views: 0
On a trip to London (UK) my parents had the great idea of bringing to me this awesome set of BRITAINS… one of the last produced before going “plastic”!
I was really pampered because I had been sick for quite a time.
Now, that brought along a lot of reminiscences… just 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 a result you all know I was hooked on Toy Soldiers for life…

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.

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… I bought the nurses… the doctors… an on purpose incomplete set (NO wounded etc.).

A picture is worth a thousand words… so be happy you’ll be spared my prose today! 54mm!
TOY SOLDIERS: quite delightful 54mm figures of a not much collected period.

Probably Howard Whitehouse but not sure… took it from Facebook!… those are painted “old Britain’s style” and are “my piece of cake”. Enjoy
A GENTLEMAN’S WAR: An Army!

For a lot of us collectors this is one of the goals or objectives… to be able to field an Army of Toy Soldiers… everything is there: Artillery, Infantry and Cavalry… and even some “civilians”. You need all sorts as I usually say. Enjoy.
