Continuing my trawl through the boxful of toy soldiers that turned up from Ebay.
As I went though, I found quite a few that had ended up in the wrong bag. In my defence, one shade of government darkish green looks very much like another shade of government darkish green.
I also couldn't help noticing that some figures very very much larger than others.
Clearly, uniformity is going to be a challenge.
Never mind that. Let's get on to some pictures of my Toy soldier haul.
6. Grey Dudes.
Not sure what army these squaddies are even supposed to be. American, Russian, French? Lord knows.
That's the problem with cheap recastings of figures from the 1980s or so.
7. A squad of Brits.
A small but formidable contingent of British squaddies. Paras, maybe?
8. Green and grey
Suffering from equipment damage, these guys have been in the wars and on closer inspection seem to be made up of two different units. Let's call them Stragglers , shall we?
9. Khaki Anti Tank
Packing a serious amount of anti-tank firepower. No idea what army they're supposed to be, mind you.
As we go along we're going to see this "Bazooka" pose one of many reused in various degrees of quality.
10. Advancing bravely.
Another lot of pseudo-GIs. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the originals moulds these are based on included Germans and Japanese.
11. Thin Men
My first orders as Supreme Commander are for all of these men to be taken away and given several hot meals.
Still more to come but my camera ran out of batteries so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
That's All Folks!
