Hi Rob,

Thanks for the PM; for some reason (pop-up blocker?) I was unable to respond. I suspected that the wooden box would be an impossibility, but I was very pleased to hear thew news on the other items. I have hesitated phoning David since I can't figure out what time, or even what day, it would be in New Zealand. If you subscribe to Toy Soldier & Model Figure magazine, keep your eye out for issue 112 in September.

I,ll will be sure to keep an eye out for your article in september [looking forward to it].

Hi Rob,

Were those the original boxes for those sets or were they just non-labeled boxes? BTW, Craig now has your set on his web site.

Regards,

 

[vandilay]

Hi Mike

They will be the new style boxes,i.e the boxes they use now [not the old maroon ones] but with the original set labels .


cheers Rob

 

[ucla1967]

Thanks Rob.

David only used the photo backdrop maroon boxes on the New Zealand unit sets for about two years (i.e., 1982 - 84). When he expanded his range beyond New Zealand, he switched to the standard, maroon boxes with stared backdrops for all sets including the original New Zealand sets.

Hi Mike

Thanks for the info ,I remeber seeing the boxes you are talking about as a kid in Kirckaldies [an upmarket wellington store] I,ve seen a few sets in that
style of box sold localy in the last few months also.

cheers Rob

I didnt ask to be honest , I will make sure I do on my return visit in a
couple of weeks .Their is also some british hussars I believe in the
pipeline for the napoleonic line [just waiting for labels etc ]. We
have a new camera so i,ll get a shot of the new napoleonic civilian range and
post it.

Hi Rob,

The photo backdrops were only used for sets Nos. 1 thru 6 and No. 8. They are fairly uncommon here in the states. You should try to pick them up while you can. I am fortunate to have found, after years of searching, all these sets with the photo backdrops. Kircaldies was the department store that David designed set No. 14, the 65th Regt. of Foot, 1860, for to celebrate their 120th anniversary. Uniquely, set No. 14 has the silver foil-like end label for the store.

Best Regards,

Hi Dave,

All my empty toy soldier boxes are in a storage facility. The next time I go over there I will try and pull it out.

It's great to hear that new sets for existing lines are still being created. The new British hussars are needed to go with the Lord Uxbridge figure. He's all by himself on a charging steed with no other cavalry to go with him.
