Favorite Toy Soldier Pick Up in 2010 (1 Viewer)

[Deitz]

What was your favorite retired or current toy soldier set or figure find in 2010?

Mine was an AZW Trophy set, EQ36-Rocket Battery

A close second was a K&C set SP 12 - Pontoon Bridge or the new Snow Tiger.

Picking one favorite set from all of my Toy Soldier purchases in 2010 was harder than I thought.

My favorites are the JJD Triplane and Camel. If I have to pick one of those it would be the Triplane. Just superb models. -- Al

This is my pickup of the year, a rather rare item from K & C. Normally these were painted in khaki, the CB series from the late 80s. However, Louis told me that Gordon did some in red.

A very nice item

See "My £10 Mystery Box" - as my favourite pick-up - and from that box, the Johillco Piper. (even though he was so badly trashed - I had to repaint him!). johnnybach

Sorry, It's a King & Country RHA.

Thats a pity - I still like that version, though I know K & C don't do unpainted castings.
One more question please. I do like your Avatar - and know what it means - especially to \americans (my Uncle was a Royal Marine - and always got on well with his "brothers"). I have long had a feeling that I would like to make up that monument in model form. Do you know of anyone who makes a version to build and paint?

You can check with bradford exchange. I have an unpainted bronze set in a larger scale.

For me it is definetely the Mountford Metal Miniatures AZW Gun Team kit, painted by John Firth. The "catch" of the year 2010 for me

Johnny, if you are interested in gun teams at full gallop check out Tommy Atkins/Fusilier. They have King's Troop, WW1 in caps(1914-16) and steel helmets 1916-18. The guns are 1904 13 pounders. Trooper
