Reinforcements have arrived: Car Boot Sale Finds

 Last weekend I finally got to hit the Southsea car boot sale and along with some books and a stack of anime DVDS I paid the princely sum of £5 for a tub of toy soldiers. One I'd thrown away the ones that were broken I was left with a small selection of interesting stuff.

A pair of Romans
Missing weapons but I might be able to make some spears with leftover bits of plastic.
I wonder if Ebay has anything?

A knight and a squaddie
A veritable Goliath of an armoured knight and a plucky WW2 infantryman
who I clearly photographed at the wrong angle. Dammit.
The knight can be part of my increasingly numerous Medieval force. 
Maybe I ought to dub him Sir Hector The Huge.  

And finally the figures that  I was most interested in. 


Some bandsmen (marines?) and a stray Highland Piper. 
These will fit in nicely with the Guardsmen I picked up a while back
(see this post here: Vintage Toy Monster)

I have no idea what firm made any of these. I do think they are old-ish.
I also think I got pretty good value for £5. 

That's All Folks

All glory to the Pink Lord

 Just something I had to get out of my system.
