Rob regarding getting there early,the earliest train i could get was a 7.30 from Wakefield to St Pancras,and it didn't go straight into London, it went via Sheffield,Derby,Leicester,Kettering,then London, quite a trip over 3.5hrs and affordable at a single of £25,but some of the Train companies...

Just had a bit of a disaster,whilst getting my 22month old son a drink,left him unattended(BIG MISTAKE),guess what, soldier ends up playing with Farm animals and gets a flesh wound to the head and minor damage to rifle butt:( I suppose its my fault really because he already plays with Armies in...

Hi everybody have just received the 2 figures cc031 and cc032 from Toysoldiers Paris: cc031-Legionnaire in Morocco. 1900-1910 having seen the figure up close it seems a bit bland,and seems to lack character,it could be me:confused: cc32-Fusilier submarine. Siege of Paris 1870-1871.This ones my...

Hi Dick, nice collection i often wondered if anybody had actually purchased the full series:confused: I started, but it was one of the main reasons i stopped collecting Britains and products from its collectors club.This series so maddened and infuriated me,previous sets from the club were at...

Well its certainly frightening and makes you wonder if your moneys safe,(makes me wonder if my grandads generation was right,when he died we found money all over the house,not a vast amount but still surprising).I hate to think how much my pensions worth as of this week:eek:,last year my "safe"...

Hi guys,i recently came across this Distler 1/24 figure in my collection and it has been on display but the leg that supports the horse and rider has snapped off just above the hoof ,this leg is the one that carries on all the weight! I tried gel superglue but the same happens again:mad:The...

I sure did,and what a pain it was trying to find it,here's a trio of images and another i believe Red box figure, it looks to me as if its a English civil war musketeer? Although the figures were called red box they didn't come in a box,just loose.There is some yellowing to the gloss white and...

What,no American werewolf in london? The yorkshire pub scenes make me laugh,there not far from the truth:) "Dart Player: Stay on the road. Keep clear of the moors. Chess Player: Beware the moon, lads. " "Dart player ,you made me miss,i never miss!" plus the joke about the mexican and the...

Hi everybody,have just received the 88,i am pretty happy with the quality i cant really complain for the price i paid,and the crew aren't as bad ,as people have made out.I haven't compared them with other products regarding size issues,the main problem i have with the 88mm is the packaging...
